No problem.... the dash changeout was a lot easier than I expected.. (compared to the nightmare of removing one on a Grand Cherokee!!) Glad it helped 'ya..

But I was under the impression that the OEM Navi screen cannot handle VGA resolution, only RGB.

sorry guys,, am still nagging about installing an IDrive.. my 2010 E90 has everything but an idrive it also got the 2 buttons in the multifunction steertin wheel of the voice commands nd the mobile thingy anyways,, i asked here in bmw dealers they said idrive coasts here around 10,000$ and u have 2 change the whole dashboard nd the console so am askin.. how much is it gonna coast getting a 2010 dash nd idrive,, cuz i also thought abut trading it in. nd it coasts even double the price

guys im new here. I just bought a new 325 i, im from Argentina. Here it comes with idrive, it is called business nav.

It doesnt have nav (gps) and the screen is 6", but it seems the controller is the new one. Anyone can tell me.

Thanks


Here are some pics.

Can you show some pictures of screens shots, please?

You should be able to swap out the screen and CCC for the one with full maps and it should work, as long as it came from a car with the same spec.
ie, if your car has no audio upgrade make sure the nav comes from one with no audio, if your car has bluetooth, make sure the nav came from a car with bluetooth.

If not you need to code your car to get it all working 100%.

You are brillant! BMW needs to hire you.

Anyhow, based on your vast knowledge of the iDrive system, do you think it is possible to splice into the idrive harness for an video input? I want to install a rear camera and was wondering what is the cheapest method of doing this beside from buying a Nav-TV kit.

I don't know about vast, but we are learning as we go... It is possible, and there several different methods - search some of the other theads on this forum. Some of the boxes that splice into the LVDS cable are the cheapest and easiest to install and get going quickly. There are cheapo chinese-type boxes that are similar to Nav2TV and can be had for much less (check ebay.) I'm currently playing with the Dension AVR (although having problems with my box / possible programming issues) - but I like the "seamlessness" of it (assuming I get it working.) This is definitely a topic for another thread tho...

On the lookout for an orphan 2009+ hard-drive nav system to retrofit into 2007 (with ancient DVD nav). Would need harness too, as configuration/supplier different. Please contact me with any leads. Many thanks!

I have a Stupid Question:

My friend as a e93 with navi, would it be as "easy" as switching the entire dash and all components?

[335i_LeMans_pkgmax]

Booster and all who went through this you guys are amazing!!! I will be looking into this once my warranty expires

Download and read the PDF of the procedure (post # 307 on the bottom of page 14 of this thread) . . . then decide for yourself..

[Booster4075]

For those considering this retrofit, there is a steal-of-a-deal on this auction!!

(don't ask me how they are shipping it for that cheap, either...)

Cant get the controller to operate all wired ok, as per your guide. All my units came from same donar car. Screen lights up all ok, have audio etc. Programing maybe? Any help would be great as have two cars i am fitting nav too.

I had that exact problem at one point - turned out one of the fuses was not seated all the way into the socket in the JBE - what are the odds(!) ...and you have no idea how many fuses affect the controller--weird. I'd check all fuses for continuity with a test light and make sure they are all seated BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. (remember - always start with the basics)

[tay]

THANKS for that, i will check all fuses.
