We installed a Dension GW500 in member Chris's (Breae60) 530. It was such a nice piece, I had to order one for myself.

MODEL: Gateway 500 (PN: GW51M02)
FITS: 04-07 BMW 5-Series (E60)
MSRP: $500

* Head unit MUST be MP3 Compatible and CD Changer enabled in Head unit

If there's interest, here's what I can do for pricing:

$439 = 1-5 people
$399 = 6-10 people
$359 = 11+ people

$40 extra for the AV Extender (PN: IVE1000) which allows you to watch iPod videos on your OEM display

* Above are "out-the-door" prices--PayPal and shipping fees included (to 48 states). If you're in SoCal, you're welcome to pick it up. And if you're in need of install, we can do it for $45.

Anyone interested?

I would be very surprised if this was true. I think the way it works is that the AV Extender allows you to redirect your iPod video out of the Dension unit to an external display. However to watch the iPod videos on your OEM display you will still need a device that takes an AV signal and converts it to the OEM format. e.g. NavTV or the ACM.

I'm happy to be proven wrong.

when i had my gw500 built into my car, i was also given the option to watch video but the price quoted was nothing near the 2 digits. if it was this cheap, it would have been a no-brainer..

My mistake--Bruce is 100% correct. You'll need an external device such as NavTV to make it work on your OEM display (or view it on an external display). Thanks for the clarification.

I'm down for the group buy. How much extra for the NAV2TV interface? And how much are you charging for labor to do the install?
