Rendoman did your dealer told you why? he cant do the install?? print out the installation manual and bring it to them or try a different dealership maybe you will have better luck with that....
Bimmerman: its possible to hook up your Ipaq to the AUX audio, actually i am pretty sure that would work. Now about the Video part of it i am not sure, can you change the screen size with in your Ipaq? is there a video out of some sort on your model?
dont forget that the text and phonts will appear punie on the I-Drive screen, almost un readable unless you are able to change the text size and play around with different phonts, other wise you be straining your eyes.
As far as the price goes for the video module it is pricy but there only a few companies that actually sell it so there would not be that much of a price break.
The Av electronics is the cheapest at $315 i think but they are not even close to the E60 solution. You can always try ebay i sold my nav-tv for E39 there for 700 knuck it down by $300.

Hey guys kind of a busy day for a friday anyways to answere some of your questions.
Bimmerman: My part was $99 Ordered from NC and installed here in michigan. The dealership charged me $200. There is some kind of an installation equipment additonal needed with the entire install. I saw those english directions when i recieved my part from north carolina. Sure self installation is possible you can do anything the problem is BMW also wants to make money?
hehehe thats why to answere Buzzero software upgrade is required your stereo needs to have an additonal plug installed to it in which the AUX will plug in into.
Plus if you do this install your self, i am thinking you will hurt your warranty in some way.
Buzzero my entertainment function did not have the aux it appeared once the tech did the plug in to the stereo but still there was no sound. Then they started to coded and upgrading it to 13.3 i think thats the latest. After that i was able to get? into tones and stuff like that.

BMW making money - hmm... you'd think they'd make enough off of the 50G car, but I guess it's never enough...
TurboDMan, another question about your carputer, how do you control it (keyboard, other input devices). The reason I ask is just that I am curious, my cousin just completed his, and he used a Lilliput touch screen as an imput device.

[/quote]I seriously doubt I could do it. The install looks easy enough but the directions specifically calls for coding.
"encode/program the retrofit using DISPlus or GT-1 via path CIP" - whatever that is.

The remote on the left from the I-Drive for the video module the one on the bottom is a RF PowerPoint mouse.
