Hi Guys,

I have the BMW Most interface in my car already , but wanted to change for a Dension 500 to get video and control on steering for video and audio.

What do you guys think , is it worth for a change?

thanks in advanced.

its not a Change, but an Addition. Dension 500 uses the MOST to display the video/play audio through the iDrive.

It sure is worth it! u get USB and iPod connectivity, with expandability for Bluetooth!

Dont you have the ACM? You can say its equivalant to the Dension. Also, I believe there's a USB retrofit for BMW with the newer version of the ACM, which can control video and audio files through bmw controls.

Hey nigdoof, How you know if you have ACM sorry i'm clueless. And can you install ACM if you dont have one already or if the newer ACM has better capability?

Oh, if you see Vishwen's profile, he says he has ACM installed on his car. and I remember him showing pics of installation.

Anyone can have ACM fitted on your car. The car does not come standard with it.

People chose ACM because its BMW OEM. I believe the newer version of the ACM is slightly better because you can retrofit the USB option on it. I think Bruce Miranda or Andy 545 has more info.
