Count me in... (where does the interface get stored? in the glove-compartment?) how to access it via the iDrive? Would it have audio input too?

you need the aux input install in PML first.
350! wow! good price! we paid more than that a year ago!
Ed, how much we paid in the last group buy?

I'm not buying myself because I'm not comfortable that the original BMW screen is still analog. This means we'll loose some resolution and display of fine text will not be sharp. I'm still trying to find a way to replace the screen with a wide screen true VGA screen. But again, I may change my mind after I see an actual display during Ed's house warming!

BTW, anyone know what does the iDrive controller do?

Let's start a video interface group buy list:

Take a look at LMK's setup. It's actually ok. I magnified the fonts (but that created some other issues though)

Guys, regarding the Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS w/Bluetooth... its available from Amazon at USD899.99 and will ship on June 1st. However the map given would be the USA one... wd that be a problem? Can the existing SDs from the C320 fit? Can this be "copied"? The converted amount before shipping should be ard S$1400.

Perfect Watch is trying to sell the Nuvi 300 at S$1512...

But there is a catch... Amazon refuse to send this to a non USA address as Garmin apparently only wants this to be made available domestically...

Assuming we are happy to void the warranty.... we can bulk purchase it and have it routed to a USA address and have it rerouted to SGP?

Any other way we can get this done?

Does anyone know if we can import our own BMW? I got sick of waiting for the news on the Z4 from PML and wanted to import it myself from Spartanburg, South Carolina... especially since the USD is at a all time low of 1.57xx....

Heard that Ed is in freightforwarding business.... would he have some lobangs?

Sorry to correct myself. The output should be from S-video. This can be easily connected to the composite input at the video i/f. If the output is composite then it would be rather bad.
