Hi guys,
I am a new owner to the E60.
If i like to install an after market system, is it possible to still have it displayed on the i-drive?
Now I have a Clarion headunit, changer, woofer, speakers from a diff car that I want to use......
Many thanks
Rgds,

There is no headunit in the BMW to replace. You have to fit the headunit in the little cubby hole assuming you dont have nav. THen youd have to tap into the mask computer for speaker hook ups. Very complicated job.

I'd recommend just changing the speakers and adding the amp and sub ....its messy adding a head unit...also not compatible with your i-Drive
