Hi decided to upgrade from my is200 that i have had for the last 3 years. Sad to see it go as its been a great car and most reliable ive ever owned. Just hope that the Beemer is just as good.
Anyway, i pick the car up in a couple of weeks its a 2006 530d m sport and wondered if there was anyway that i can make the satnav (professional)to double up as tv. I couldnt have the factory option as i am buying this as an ex demonstrator.
If anyone in UK has had this done can you point me in right direction?
Cheers.

Welcome aski! 
congrats to You new car!
If I remember correctly for prof navi it's possible to connect BMW tv-tuner easily. Best way is to ask from Your sales rep to get awailability and price. If they don't know ( it's possible) make search in here or PM for example to Iceman. He is expert in this case.

I know its possible, you can see the bits on www.realoem.com
I think parts are about ?700 (although you need to check) and then fitting and possible recoding after that....

The TV upgrade has the follwing buying codes:
65 50 0 398 488 for digital and analogic TV receiver and costs in Germany EUR 1.115
65 50 0 398 488 for digital and analogic TV receiver and costs in Germany EUR 1.115
This is ?710 as an option for dealer fit. Surely there must be a cheaper way to do it than this. Does it specifically need to be that part or will a tuner from another model not do the trick ?
Does any one have a 2nd hand one that they don't need anymore

Welcome aski to the Forum!
You now own a hell of an lot better car than your old IS200!
But the E60 is hardly as reliable as a Toyota (Lexus).
