I just received my Dension GW51M02 yesterday and going to do the install myself, (as per Muttleys and Bruce's instructions), so I called my local stealer today to get a price for the Mp3 retrofit software install, and was quoted ?390!!!!!! Please tell me they got that wrong, this guy told me they have to install some kit with it! I told him that I only wanted the software update but he said that's what had to be done...
Personally I think he hasn't got a clue.

He doesn't have a clue! Do you have Nav in your 5? an existing CD-Changer?

how much depends on the stealer... just tell them to do the mp3 retrofit and that there is no need to add anything. show them the bulletin. it gives reference to the bulletin that explains how to do it if they are really too stupid to find it themselves.

Hey schulrog, thanks for the help mate, this bulletin that your talking about, I've been looking for it on here, (seen that you've had quite a bit of experience on this subject also btw) were can I get a copy/readout or something I can take to my stealer so they can get their s**t together!!
