My Ride: 550i 2006
comfort/active seats, active steering, active lights, active cruise control, comfort entry, TV, Pro logic 7 sound, bloody fast too.
Can anybody tell me what the black shelf like storage box is for?
There's an access panel/door to it from the trim panel that it sits behind.
The CD changer is in the glove box so what is this?

Thats the holder for the OEM DVD changer. The module next to it is the Video Module and the big vertical box is the L7 amp.
