...update
Bought a new usb flash drive today (Staples brand) 8GB, filled with music and works great. No issues.
Here's a few installed pics-
-3rd pic is of GPS antenna, wire is only visible right there at the antenna, rest fits nicely under glove box and around passenger side of dash.

06E53, Looks Awesome ! Did you hook up the microphone?

:thumbup:It looks awesome! :thumbup:

According to the Q&A you posted it offers OBC connectivity.

Does it have FULL OBC CONNECTIVITY?

Sorry, that was someone else who posted that Q&A of a different product, only in the UK.

I did hook up the microphone. Same way i did the GPS except i put the microphone just behind the rear view mirror. Have not tried it yet though because i can't get my iPhone 4 to recognize the unit!

any idea is it possible to replace OEM navigation with this device?

[QUOTE=Gurltech;767167]I have read these post with great interest.
And have decided to upgrade with this unit.

| BMW Headunit Upgrade | Navigation retrofit | e46 | e53 x5 | E39 | E38

Im a wait on the model that gurltech quoted.. hopefully they get it for usa, I did notice it didnt say nothing about aux inputs or video outs.

I emailed the company hopefully they send more pics.

[QUOTE=nigwhyrito;768018]If and when they give you a ship date can you update that to the rest of us???
In your back and forth emailing could you ask them if they have found a way around the DSP amp/stereo system most of us OEM Sat/Nav guys have. And will it be truly plug and play with all that.

To me that one looks exactly like the Hualingan. I did successfully install a Hualingan unit yesterday on a DSP X5. It was a bit of a challenge but it's done now. I kept the DSP and the BC features. I hope I can finish the DIY tomorrow. I love it. It is an awesome unit.

How did you keep the BC features?
