Hi I'm trying to find out how to fit sat nav into my 2004 530d. I'm not clued up on this topic at all really but have seen a sat nav/dvd unit on ebay which is claimed to fit my E60??

Is this worth pursuing and is this all the kit I will need? Its up for ?55 is this worth the money??

Thanks for your help - this is my first post, so go easy!

For ?55 you won't get a wire for the Sat Nav so becareful what you're buying. Remember the factory fitted one costs near ?2K.

Is there anyway I can utilise the screen in the car with an after market sat nav then?? It seems a bit of a waste having a screen there and adding another on the windscreen or wherever?
