it lets add alpine navigation, cd changer, dvd changer, 5.1 sorround processor to your existing factory system.
i thinks everybody that it serious about an aftermarket system into their e60..should look into this.

So does it utilize the existing screen in your e60? Can you elaborate a little more on it?

OK..... so help me out here.
Let's say you get this Alpine Hub thing..... you hook it up to our E60.... and you add an Alpine CD changer.
You are playing a CD from the Alpine changer.... and you get a phone call on your Bluetooth cell phone. Does the music mute, and the phone screen come up in iDrive just like normal?
