Hi,

I have been reading the posts here about the ACM module now available from BMW for adding DVD player, TV tunner, reverse cameras etc...
I have a few questions below I would be greatful if anyone can answer them?

I called my local dealer in the UK and gave them the part number and they can get me one from Germany ?300 +vat

1. has anyone had this installed in the UK yet?
2. My car has the TV option already, any problems if I am installing the ACM module ?
3. My car has Logic7, will the sound from playing DVD's be Logic 7 quality?
4. I read something about not connecting a wire for image in motion, as this been done by anyone?
5. My car was build on May 06, Uk spec, I have professional sat nav, do I need a software update if I decide to DIY to install the module?
6. Is the module compatible with most DVD players in the market
7. Can you still have your sat nav to display the map whilst listening to a DVD? Does it split the screen?
8. Is there a way to check my software version?

The answer to this will help me to make a final decision

Many Thanks

Hi Brunolive

here's my input;

1) I just installed it yesterday, but don't live in the UK.
2) Don't know
3) Don't know either
4) The instuction talk about a certain pin that should be disconnected to prevent display from driving. This is something that is easy to change and change back again as well.
5) No update required
6) You need to create yout own connectors but it looks as if that is no problem (i'll know more next week).
7) The other way around; you can still recieve Nav insructions over your speakers while watching DVD.
8) Only the dealer can....
