Anyone try cheaper ebay TV-in-Motion?
 

I have looked extensively at units to allow the dvd to play while driving. I know that Nav-TV makes one that WILL work on US e70's, but the price of $500+ dollars for such a unit seems a little overpriced. I found a power-seller on ebay that claims they make a unit that will work, and it's half the price! Has anyone tried it on a U.S. e70? It looks almost identical to the Nav-TV unit.

Here's the link to one of them..

Thanks,

2008 or 2009 X5?

Mine's a 2008. Is there a difference with the new i-drive?

Yes - much different in 2009. We have a module in stock for the 2008 that is still going through testing, we'll start a new thread when completed.

2009 was much easier and already completed.

is 2007 the same at 2008? or diff?

pre 2009 is still CCC iDrive, 2009+ is the new CiC iDrive.

Great! I guess I'll hold off then, so at least I know I'm buying something that works. Any estimate of how much you think it will be?

Still a bit early, so can't say for sure. We'll be sure to get this working ASAP.

Tom,

In case I miss that thread, please shoot me a PM when your module is tested and for sale. I'm interested. :) :thumbup:

Err, thats not exactly correct on the X5 and X6.

2009 MY cars still are CCC idrive. It will be the 2010 MY that will have CIC.
