Our X5's system by Kenwood cost tons more than this ($1800) and yet it seems like it can do pretty much the same things. I have the BMW iPod integration kit installed on my 06 530i. If I get this would I be able to use it for playing back iPod videos?
The backup camera doesn't come with it, right? It's just got the plug available if you have one?
Love the idea of the digital TV player. Great idea!

Backup camera doesnt come with it. You have to purchase one urself. If you get the composite output cable from your IPOD, then it will work.

This is very interesting.
Is this compatible with LCI e60s as well? I have the factory Ipod/USB interface which comes with the AUX port underneath the armrest. Can you verify if the Aux port be used for this Multimedia Head unit?
If so how can the AUX port can be used in conjunction with ipod playback( u know how ipod pod / usb thumb drive play back is under the Entertainment Tab / AUX & USB sub category)?
I am uber noob when it comes to hardwiring could you give more detailed instruction along with a diagram or pic where I would connect the wires in the fuse box?

UPDATE: Any purchase from my lighting equipment no matter what price will qualify for $40 credit towards this group buy. It can be as small as $28 for license plate bulbs.

Hmm... I purchased a 2point5 spec.dock for my 2006 BMW 530xi (with no OEM CD Changer)
If this would allow my ipod to play videos on the Nav directly from the cradle I'd be all over it!

I am more than happy to do that Throbble. However someone will need to buy the kit and split at their leisure and work out cost between them.
I will add your name down unless you tell me otherwise

works with all LCI, pre-LCI, and almost ALL BMW models with idrives. Once the group buy is completed, I'll install the unit for one person in NYC free and do a step by step DIY.
Is the group buy still going? If so I would like to purchase one. Also I am in NYC, Cant wait to see you install it in my 2009 E60!!
