Where did you get this NAVWITH TV Kit?! Does it allow you to use both iDrive and your external video source?

As you all may know, the iDrive is built on the JAVA platform. Software updates by the dealer are done via PROGMAN. I actually have a version of PROGMAN on my computer. Now if I could just download the base iDrive software......
