The procedure is taken from the 7 series but it is the same on E60 too.

Turn key to first position. Don't start the engine.
Press I-Drive knob down for 6 seconds,
Release,
Rotate three click to right,
Rotate three clicks to left,
One click right,
One click left,
One click right,
Press down and
Radio,TV, Navigation,GPS, Production, menus will appear.

Check out any item you think interesting.


Regards.

Perhaps it will be possible, with some future hacking.

No, i haven't discover any software infos. May be there is something, but the menus are a bit confused.
Try it, it's easy and i think, not dangerous.

edit: There are pre-installation infos for tv - navi etc, regardless you have it installed or not.
I don't know how can be work with the new keyless E60 version.

It's a repost. Nothing we can do in that menu.
