Just want to share some pics from the installation on 525i with no Navi and with the small 6.5" screen. The video module was specifically programed to work with the small screen, and it worked out pretty good!

Looks good. Can you provide any details around the components? I'd also be interested if the install was plug and play or required wire splicing?

Ditto!
Depending on the complexity of the install, this could be an option!

The installation is plug and play. It requires you to remove some trim pieces and run some cables. Those of you who are interested shoot me an e-mail (info@alekshop.com) and I will be glad to answer your questions.

Congrats on the install. It would be great and helpful to other members if you would just post the questions/response in the thread. This would allow others to read w/o further (and repeated) PMs to you.
