My Ride: 545 i A (XII´2003) , silbergrau metallic, leather Dakota amethyst, dynamic drive, active cruise control, active steering, sports steering wheel, adaptive xenon headlights (auto levelling) with headlight washers, alarm, protective windows, glass sunroof, sports seats, advanced A/C, phone business bluetooth with sliding armrest, nav business, cd changer, power rear sunshades, manual side sunshades, rear airbags, park distance control, auto dimming folding mirrors, smoking package, garage door opener, shadow line, skibag, run flats, lighted BMW in all door frames, cooling box, illuminated door sills, iDrive interface (Dominic) with DVDplayer
Hello to all .... 
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>I installed the interface myself on Saturday and it works perfectly ...</span>(I never did something like that before myself, but the instruction was clear and easy to follow) I used the electric supply of the gloves compartment (where you are supposed to put the rechargeable lamp) because I had to remove the compartment anyway to install the video cable .....
(ONE SMALL REMARC : the electric supply in the gloves compartment of my car stops appr. 15 minutes after turning off the ignition - I don?t know whether this is something special in Spain or Europe - in another thread I read about permanent electric supply in the gloves compartment - but that?s no problem for me because the cars monitor switches off with ignition off anyway ....)
thanks Dominic for your invention !!!!!
