any BMW options attached to the OEM Head unit will not work
and may through error codes in some case they can be programmed
out. (BMW SOS for example)

If you have to go to a BMW dealership almost any of them need
the original head unit mounted to do repairs that involve changing
software values or updating the car . This can be done with a
coding setup for most common repairs if you are clever.
You probably don't have to worry to much about this with a 06.

I don't understand your last statement but there are plenty
of threads that show pictures of aftermarket head units.
I don't like most of the Bezels and sure don't like the ones
that have the heater controls on top.

Also the thread about the Harness necessary for moving/ mounting the Head unit is in the first or second thread but it doesn't show the extensions you need.
Thanks for the reply; I'll stay stock for now. How big are the improvements if I were to add a jl audio 6 channel amp?
