Florin, post your DIY whenever you have time bro.

[QUOTE=Ben2.0;768050]I don't have not ordered yet.
But the website lays out the unit specs in a good way.

Yes you have to order by phone if you are not in England.
But I have been assured the unit will and does work for US head unit replacements. And the unit is fully plug and play.

here is the link to the website...very informative. :thumbup:
| BMW Headunit Upgrade | Navigation retrofit | e46 | e53 x5 | E39 | E38

Anybody got X5 navigation >? | BMW Headunit Upgrade | Navigation retrofit | e46 | e53 x5 | E39 | E38

I moved the MID in the glove box. Check the DIY at:

Check the Hualingan on youtube. Most of the videos are for e46 but it is the same unit in a different shape for e39,e53. Mine on X5 works the same.

YouTube - hualingan

would you please make a brief video about how everything works/..

thank you !

SkidmarkX5 here is very excited to learn of this; I have the Y2K version (really, mfg date 01/2000) so I have the 4:3 screen & the POS stereo. The only thing wrong with my X5 is the stereo. Please do follow-through on this. Its gotta be audiophile compatible. WIll be watching...:thumbup:

Florin, when you moved the MID in the glove box, you still connected the 12V power radio harness (switch/unswith), ground and memories wires from the original power supply?
Did you connect the new GPS unit into the same original radio harness or you have to run separately harnes/fuse for this?

Thanks/

Hi Guys! May I request someone who has the Hualingan to post a picture of the iPod interface please. I have searched YouTube and all of the Hualingan websites and Googled hundreds of reviews but could not find a photo of what the iPod interface looks like on the Hualingan unit. Does it show Artist, Playlists, Song, Album selections, etc. on the screen??

***************************************

Found a Chinese version of the iPod interface. I hope you can post an English version and screenshots of playlists, artist, album search functions...

I'm just planning on plugging in the MID "IF" I need to set the time and things exclusive to the MID. Please post DIY pictures of how you moved the MID to the glove box. The wires to the side of the MID is my issue on how to extend that to the glove box unit.
