Just picked up a 05' 545i(built 12/04) and I am in some serious need for a OEM navigation.
Yes I did find the PDF instruction on installing NAV on pre-LCI models however I do need to know whether I can do this without the voice command which I don't need.

It seems like mine DOES HAVE
- Prewired GPS Antenna
- Bluetooth(I'm not sure if this is relevant)

and DOESN'T HAVE
- Voice command button next to Idrive

In this case, all I need would be the monitor, CCC and the DVD unit?
Could someone be kind enough to list the parts I would need to order..
Any comments would be helpful. Thanks!!

I have done this retrofit to Professional Navigation you do not need to have voice commands or the button to do this retrofit it will still work 100% without any problems.

the voice command is an easy fix, just requires an additional microphone, the replacement button module, and some coding, but no, you do not need it for a full retrofit.

be advised you're looking at $2500+ between parts and coding. scan my old posts for other advice.
