Aftermarket navi question
I have a 2007 e90 335xi. I don't have idrive, so I'm wondering what is the best aftermarket navigation/head-unit out there. I want navi, Bluetooth calling, Bluetooth audio, iPhone connectivity, aux. Something that is going to fit right in the center console. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

General consensus is that Pioneer is the best one. I find them to be terribly un-user friendly. So I don't like them. I usually go with Kenwood. Best bet is to go to a stereo shop and play with the display models and see what you prefer best for yourself.

The Janus double din kit and the connects2 harness with swc are needed to install it properly. |

I really despise the look of that Janus kit with the heater controls above. Plus I'm not sure how much the shifter blocks the screen with it. But the Metra kit just fits so horribly that I might switch.

That's exactly what I thought at first, but now I'd rather have the headunit on the bottom and have it fit properly.

Looking at the metra kit I think it could be modified to fit better. I think if I grind down the top area of the dash, and mount the headunit at less of an angle, there will be more room for the climate control. It would be alot of work, but I might give it a try. I am fairly sure I can get it flush with the headunit still on top.

Hardware specs, and Android version are much better on this unit than Dynavin. Of course, things like build quality, software glitches, interface, are all things that don't show up on paper.

Agree... my Pioneer AVIC X-920BT looks great in my E90, especially given you can customize the backlight to match the OEM colour.
