Nuvi acted up on Robinsons Road and some parts of Sheton Way. Apparently reception around high rise buildings arent too good. Nuvi's routing went haywire. Has anyone of you experienced the problems I faced in town? Considering buying the external antenna now. RSLK, how did you mount the external antenna? Did you have to cut any holes in your ride to mount the antenna?

RSLK,
Nice work.
I just bought the idrive controller and would arrive sometime next week. It would eliminate the remote controller that we are using. This module enables the iDrive knob to switch between video source instead of the current method which we are using through the remote controller.

Tell us more about this iDrive controller module... how does it look like... is it from BMW? How much? What does it do? etc etc... I also dun like the 3 remotes.. to confusing...
This is what I had gathered, would post more details when installed. It is a good mod if the product delivers as specified. The is inexpensive.

I agree with bugaboo. You need a 8-10M digital camera to do you justice. You want any lobang?

If you are using 3M films... no need... just mount it to the top right hand corner of your inner windscreen... remember to have the black curved part facing outside... To get even better accuracy and even faster lock, try mounting it on top of the EXTERIOR of your A pillar... they can run the antenna wire thru the door and via the rubber flaps... Just make sure your Wing Flaps are not adjusted...
this way, no way will notice.
BZ, if you are getting, incld me please.

Will you still have the lobang to buy the video and iPod control from Billy? I'm thinking of installing these with reverse camera, new BMW iPod interface & ICE once and for all. Do you know if this new iPod interface is available yet? Will have to call PML if its available now....

Are you sure we can mount antenna within the Shark's Fin? I read in some thread that this cannot be done. My only concern is asthetics!

How is your testing of the Garmin Sing/J.B map so far?
