I have a 525i and its not wired for satellite. What parts do I need? I saw this on ebay, but are there any additional parts?

Installed Professional Navigation today original.gif (Thanks wokingBigBoy for your help and advice) all is working and no coding required.
i went for a slightly older unit so i would not have any coding issues.
but i notice i dont have POIs like filling stations etc and i dont have the 3d view, does my car require a software update from the dealers to enable these.
Also 7 digit postcode was this with the latest DVD i am using 08-01

Hi, I am planning the same upgrade.. Can I use the 8.8" monitor from fore instance 2007 in my 2004 model or shall I look for a monitor with the same build data or does every professional monitor fit regardless of production date?

Hi there, I suspect my sat nav pro requires replacing, I am interested in knowing where you sourced your new head-unit from and also how difficult it was... many thanks!

11' A4 Avant 2.0T Brilliant Black / Black - aluminum
Hi sorry to revive this thread just picked up an '06 E61 530xi and was considering retofiting the GPS system.
I have found a unit model #65836962545 I beleive it would work ? I realise I will need an antenna and the wiring harness as well + programming.
Any help confirming this would be appreciated.

My Ride: 2008 535i LCI with sports/premium package, Sports trans with paddle shifters, CF emblems, JB4 Software, Dinan Exhaust, Navigation, M5Tech body kit, Carbon wrap interrior trim and CIC Controller.
Please can someone explain the colour coding for the fan harness cable:
#61120396722 --ccc fan cable
RTSW cable to PIN 1
BR cable to PIN 5
WS cable to PIN 11
I need clarification on what RTSW/BR/WS mean. The unit is working but after about a hour of driving the CCC unit seems to heat the SAT NAV DVD and if you put another location in I normally get a read error so I think I may of wired the fan up wrong.
Thanks

RTSW 1 fan pos To 1 fan positive
WS 2 diagnose to 11 diagnose
BRSW 3 fan negative to 5 fan negative
The left is the small connector that connects to the fan and the right side is the large 13813 connector for back of CCC.
