I spoke to NAVTV2go guys in NYcity, they said they will do install+part+rearcam ($190) = $999/- so was bit leaning towards it.
I was hoping to hook it upto a CARPC, but looks like no VGA input on any of these modules.

Yes, I also currently have NavwithTV on my E60 the setup works fine but not as integrated as the BMW ACM module. Also my NavwithTV unit video output gets fuzzy images, making my iDrive screen unreadable at times. I think my NavwithTV unit has gone bad? Again, I am so glad that my530i is my buddy 
and that we both work very close to each other. 
Just from the images that my530i have posted, the BMW ACM module is the way to go!

my530i had NAVTV2go...this is a much better and more integrated upgrade. If I was to go this route, I would do the ACM, not NAVTV2go.

After the heck of a day doing this ACM installation, my whole body are in pain especially fingers 
Could not sleep until 5am although I took 2 pills of Tylenol but it did not help 
Just work up and time to wrap up M5 shift knob kit and paddle shift kit for BetterMakeWay
Then I'll test out DVD Portable function and back up cam. If they're successful, I'm thinking about this
Eclipse Side View Cam
OK. I'm back and I completely test backup cam as well as DVD player.
Here are the results:
However, there is one minor bug (It might be user error, but who know the solution, please let me know) that when shifting out of R, PDC beep is still on and the screen is blank until I press PDC button to go back to iDrive screen.

Wow! pretty coool!!! I can't believe they dont sell this wonderful module in US
Can you pls post the pdfs for the installation manual for ACM and Rear backup Camera...
Where is the outlet sit where u plug dVD player?
Is this the lowest you can get? I wonder if I can get the BMW Dealer who can order it directly from Germany and apply 25% BMW CCA discount

Wow 5-8 actual hours compared to 1.75 in the SIB. I wonder how BMW calculate estimated time.
