Firstly welcome to the forums...i've not been here all that long but it is an awesome place for info.
Where are you located? I also have a Jap Spec E60 and to get the Navigation to work, along with FM radio, you will need to change over the CCC unit.
Ebay or a wrecking yard are your best bet. After this, you will need your car to be programed. Your location will determine, which CCC you use and who can do your coding. A third party workshop who use Autotronic, might be your best bet.

I have a 2005 E60 Japan Spec too. I also want to know how to use the Navigation System in Hong Kong. My E60 came with the HDD Navigation System with the PC Card slot (without the PC card). Btw, what is CCC?
In addition, what will be the right part no. for the iphone cradle to be used? My E60 got a cradle but seems it's fit for the Japan phone. I got no idea what's the phone model was for.

Thx!

Below is a link and advice I posted regarding Nav/Radio/Phone and TV issues with Japanese spec E60's. You may want to check with Unique with what his outcome was.
