Guys,
I am keen on doing the ICE mod using the new Intel-based Macmini with Mobycars in Singapore. They have never done an E60 but had experience on E46 and E90.
What are the pitfalls I should be aware of? I was quoted a baseline price of $5K+ which should include the hardware, GPS maps, bluetooth....
Thanks!

My Ride: Nothing to boast about!
ohhh... Ok to be fair, I was referring to just bare minimum. 1 carputer, 1 GPS receiver, 1 GPS software, 1 small LCD screen or video I/F, and maybe installation.

1. macmini: 1200 (core duo)
2. power supply: 250
3. gps receiver: 150
4. gps software: 150
5. lcd in dash: 400
6. v/i : 850
7. No TV?..should include, i think it is fun. 350
this comes out to be about 3K excld installation, adaptors and wires. Oh, you need keybaord and mouse.
In my opinion, reasonable la.

Why do you need 5 & 6 together? I thought a good TV tuner will cost much more than that? I have the lines ready in the boot but did not install it.I am not saying it's unreasonable or otherwise. That everyone has a different view. The good thing is someone will sweat the details, fix the issues when they crop up.

i heard that the strongest radar is in changi airport that can track aircrafts 500 miles away even the plane does not have wing flaps. the distant can be longer if the airplane has wing flaps.
