My Ride: Black 520i, Black leather interior, Active Steering, DSC, PDC, Ornamental grille, Audio Aux Input
OPERATION A SUCCESS!
the boys came over & spent 3 hours putting in the reverse camera i got from tye electronics, cut the ashtray in the centre of the dash & embedded the dock in there
took the 5 out for a spin after installation - i only have an ipod photo - but was able to playback photo slideshow on the idrive screen thru the interface
reverse camera takes a while to "light" up - image very clear even in carpark
will take some photos & upload tomorrow night
maybe a shot of 33's new sexy looking BLACK SLK through the reverse camera?

Don't know what you guys think but I met Simon Rock at PML today - accidental meeting. I brought up thematter about my ride and he said he had heard about this. Anyway, he went upstairs to his office and half an hour later, came downto the showroom looking for me. He had managed to get a hold of Torsten who arrived a short while later. I was assured that PML and BMW are still looking into the matter. In fact, according to Torsten, he drove an M5 recently and noticed the same characteristic. He will be returning to Germany to attend an M driving gfamiliarisation course and should have more info for me when he returns.
This is exactly what I, as a client want to hear. "We don't know for sure, but let me check further" and not just a short sentence to shut me up. Kudos to PML's Simon Rock. At least I can see he treasures my business!!!

Hey doc, I am thinking of operating my ashtray to hide my Universal Dock too! Did they really have to hack the plastic mould in the ash tray? If the Dock is not there, can you still insert the Ash Tray Cup? Juz curious!

My Ride: E60 - 520i Dec 2004 built
Previous 320i for 5 years
The news is here, there is one parallel importer for BMW 6 series listed in today ST. It offer 3 years warranty and services. Hope this this would open up the competition for PML. Anyone can verify the competitiveness and to what extend for the price it advertises.
Hope the company would bring in other models as well.
Long live PML!

Doc... how did you managed to solve the AV cable issue? Was it via a S-Video to AV convertor? Did they have it or do I need to buy myself? Cos I too dun wanna sacrifice my iPod AV Cable for this cause...
The camera was amazing... it didn't even have those IR nodes... wonder how they managed to see so clearly in the dark...
How did the TV Tuner went? Can see the usual free to air channels such as CNA, 5, 8 etc?

The service I got was EXCELLENT. Will tell you guys more on Sat GTG... My point to everyone is: if we are not guaranteed excellent service at the exclusive dealer... and had heartache trying to live with the issues... why not give the deal to others who will fall all over you to get your cheque and save money in the mean while... especially when the ultimate warranty is still borne by the brand owner?
