I have a 2008 528i (LCI), but I don't have navigation. I have read a lot of posts on how to retrofit navigation into pre LCI e60s, but I have seen anything about adding navigation into a 2008 and higher model year. Has anybody researched this and found out yet. I haven't checked with my dealer yet if it can be done.
Thanks,
Todd

On my wife's MB, the dealer quoted $2k for a NAV retrofit and I still wouldn't have voice recognition. I did some research and found out I could do it on my own for less than a grand spent on the DVD drive and disc. But I decided to go aftermarket instead.

It probably could, but it will cost you.

Nowadays you can get a pretty good GPS from Tomtom or Garmin for about $200-300 and you get to take it with you when you travel.
