It seems as if any pre LCI vehicle needs the exact same components to do the nav Pro retrofit, unless you already have Business Nav then you need less parts. I have just done this, but I do not claim to now be some sort of expert, just lucky because so far it has not given me complications.

Look in the classified section, there is a member from the Netherlands selling a complete kit for a really good price.

Also, go to eBay and search for "E60 Navigation" and you will see a seller from Poland (who I bought mine from) who ships slow, but is reliable. These eBay auctions have part lists listed in them, so you can get a good idea of what you are in it for.
