I dont suppose this can be made to work on a car without i-Drive can it as imjust have the basic professional stereo.

[garytc78]

Works with or without idrive it just plugs in and works with your steering wheel controls.

Which ariel did you use?
What's the reception like?

[garytc78]

I just got one from halfords and the reception is good but you can get all kinds of aerials but the best ones are external ones.

[garytc78]

Also forgot to mention that this is the same unit the bmw install as an aftermarket kit for £300.

Any idea if this will work alongside a dension 500?

[muffking]

Just searched for the replacement antenna, which is quite dear, although i can arrange a courier collection to save you posting. So i'll offer £60 and see how it goes in my non i-drive.

[garytc78]

Thanks for the offer but it's already near enough half price and the aerial is not £60 more like £20-£25.

Not sure tbh but it comes with the multi plug to go in the back of the radio and sort of piggy backs in to it so it is oem in the way it looks so I would imagine it would work along side most things.

£25 was basically what I was trying to knock off the asking price to buy the aerial with, but no worries.

[garytc78]

Sorry suffering from an epic hangover and misread your post.

The offer's still there if it definately works on the non iDrive.
