Hey Frank,
I think you'll need to recode your car since you dont have MP3 enabled. I'm probably 95% sure u have to.
Regardless, this is a great module and well worth it if purchased.

--- although, it is a good price the DG500.

When I had contacted Dension they confirmed that you can put Video on the iDrive screen but for that you must have the BMW TV option coded in. They use the same method as the other MOST Interfaces available i.e. fool the car to think that the OEM Tuner is connected and use that route to put video on to the screen.
The AVR will annouce itself as the BMW TV so if you find a friendly dealer they should be able to code it in, ofcourse if they say TV is not a US option and hence cannot be coded then you are stuffed.

Hey Joe, When is the Groupbuy over? Are we gonna still wait even though we have 7 people already, you gonna try to shoot for more?
In the mean time please advice on new AVR unit from Dension. If I get that and install it with GW500, will I get the video on the idrive with an external source like a DVD player or video ipod, without any other think enabling like mobile TV as this is not possible here in the US.
I though this new AVR will work just like that (like the navTV..) I was planing to install the backup camera as well.
Fantastic, please confirm or correct me if I'm wrong. Any other input/review about the this new AVR?
thanks.
