Hey guys. i have a 2005 530d M Sport, totaly standard with no extras. Can i upgrade to a satnav system? I dont mind putting things in my self.. Can i retro fit my self?

If so.. What would i actualy need? Would this need to be re coded by BMW as well

 

Use the search function!!!!! theres loads of posts on this, Dr Dave done this to his e60, and so have many others, look for their posts.

 

I HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everyone has a different model, either older, or newer, lci, or with extras and most people here are from the US, so dont go moaning i havnt searched. If you dont have anything thats going to help dont bother to reply

 

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.
