My Ride: 7/2004 Build 530i in So Cal USA.
On this NAV for cars without 6UA option, it looks like according to the SA609 or whatever posting seems to say that 6UA is not necessarily needed. I am lookign for someone with some knowledge on this, not just that BMW says you need it. BMW says alot of BS, just so you wont attempt something. I am wondering what 6UA actually is (i knkow it's CCC pre-wiring, duh). Is it wiring harness or just some option that BMW says you haev to have because they don't want their techs working on so much electronic stuff. Any tech knowledge would be helpful. I really want that NAV and am thinking about just risking it to find out what 6UA really is beyond some stupid generic title like pre-wiring for CCC. Does it just mean that the harness is readily available for them without having to work too hard or is it actually a hard wired component that there is no way in hell could be retrofitted without splicing lines and soldering.
Thanks guys!
Reoly please!

I've been doing research on a nav retrofit on a US MY2005.
My search yielded a PDF from BMW AG regarding nav retrofits in cars with and without SA606, which is probably the equivalent of 6UA. From the looks of it, all 6UA looks like is wiring from the sharkfin to the CCC (page 9-10.)

While this is possible in the european market, does anyone know of any future plans for BMW NA to have this available for those of us in the US without 6UA?

What if you were able to buy these peices from a European Dealer? Then I would think you would be able to get it installed. BMW NA probably wouldn't do it for you, but if you got the instruction manual, and got a while till your lease is up you could give yourself Nav.
I guess the downside is that you got to figure out how to get the Software on it. hmm.

Its all a crock...yes, I know I should have got it with the car, but for $150/hour and with me saying, "take my money!" BMW should be able to do it in the US. The BMW AG PDF makes it very clear what needs to be done - and if its 8 hours of labor, then so be it! $150x8=$1200 labor + $2000 in parts...if someone wants to get it done at that price...they be allowed to.
