My Ride: BMW 525i e60 (private) M-style,, Carbon Black, HUD, MM Interface.
And a BMW 325 e90 (Business),
About 3 hours in the dark (no kidding.. with a flashlight)
But it is all PnP. the only real challenge I had was to refit the radio unit due to space constraints behind the dash (but you can wiggle it a bit and it falls into place)
And the hiding of the cabling for the iPod video took some time because I did not know the car in detail yet (removing center rest and some other stuff.
All with all... very doable and the DIY supplied for this is very clear.

Sounds great, but does it have it's own monitor/screen, or does it work off our idrive screen?
Thanks in advance!

Contact Kris at modmynav.com, or visit the website.
Kris was of great help to me when I had some problems to activate the BU camera due to my Manual Transmission. Short turnaround help and good contact.
It works nicely off your iDrive screen ( the small or wide screen).. This is exactly the reason why I did take this one. It also auto activates when you put your car in reverse. No "extra" buttons/switches to operate.

I placed my order with Kris last week. He was very quick to respond to all my questions / concerns. Seems like a very nice, upstanding guy (in fact I could not find a negative comment on any board about him or his product) Can't wait to get it installed!!
