Hey All
Don't really see a Forum for this topic but does anyone know if Navigation can be added to a 04' E60. If so how much and what is the best way to go about it???
Thanks for any advice

Nav wasn't available from the factory for first year US E60s until around January 04. Before that time, there was a Nav prep option. If you ordered it, the Nav retrofit was relatively easy and inexpensive. After January, the option was no longer available.
So you're in luck if you've got an early model with the prep option. If not, you're pretty much out of luck.

i was on this position too.. since my car was built 09/03 i had the old TCU with no BT capability on it. however, some posts on this thread was able to swap TCU to have BT, for a price. starting from $500 just for the TCU + installation.. so that totals to $$$ OTD. now, for a price say $600.. i can get myself a descent nuvi (im looking at 660 for $630) that has BT already. just like *geokr* mentioned.. its handy. its portable. and BT/NAV on one. and oh.. i would have to guess that MORE phones are compatible to aftermarket gps (BT) than OEM BT (not sure so dont qoute me).. my 2c.

Come on somebody must want to do this or has done it already???
Depending on whether your US E60 does or does not have nav, you get one of two different computer network systems. I think they're called CCC and M-ASK, but I never remember which is which.
If your car does not have nav, but does have the "nav prep" option, BMW installed the network system for nav equipped cars and a retrofit is possible. However, I believe that without the correct network, you're SOL for a nav retrofit.
