Does anyone know of any USA dealer that will or can install NAV into US E60?

I have one of the very early E60's build date 11/03. I do not have the nav pre-wire 6UA option.

I know it could be done... it may take a lot of hours but I am willing to PAY for the extra time it costs to do it.

Anyone know of any BMW techs that can or willing to do it?

I want the stock navigation... NO TomTom or Garmin bullshit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Stevens Creek BMW quoted me for 3.5 hours = $560. If you have BMW CCA card, you'll have 20% discount. Why don't you give them to do it for you?

I can't speak for TomTom units, but those Garmin "bullsh!t" units are far superior than the stock navigation. If I had to do it over again, I would save my money and not get Nav. It is terrible - looks pretty, but functionally terrible. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled my Garmin Streetpilot out of the glovebox because the stock navigation was totatlly useless.
