Hey, Was looking on purchasing the BMW E60 Audio Video Interface kit. Anyone have this setup on their car? Was wondering if it is worth it or is their a better option for getting either ipod,dvd,tv tuner, satelite radio? Where is a good place to purchase the real thing because I saw alot of other companies interface kit available showing a BMW logo on the front.

The only thing with the actual BMW logo in the front is the ACM which is an OEM solution. There are various other solutions and they broadly fall into two categories MOST interface and Screen take-over interface. The MOST interface emulates the TV-Module on the MOST bus to give you video on the screen, but you must have the TV coded on the car. The Screen take-over like NAV-TV, GNET etc basically connect directly to the iDrive screen and allow you to plug many video sources into it.

Hi Bruce,

Can TV-Module be enabled on M-ASK units? I was under the impression that this can be done only with CCC units.
