perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect........seriously. that is the ultimate upgrade. Can you post a DIY? The matching trim is amazing..
The only problem with the AUX is that it seems so much quieter than the actual system. More info asap! |

i would maybe think there is something in the settings to adjust the volume of an aux source, kind of like when you plug an ipod in and you can adjust the volume on the ipod and it affects the output sensitivity

I have a nexus S on ice cream sandwich. I couldn't see anything on the phone that was specifically for the AUX volume. I turn the phone up to max but still notice a big difference between the radio and the aux on the phone as soon as I unplug and leave the volume as is. Thanks for the tip though. Maybe I should search for units that have that option if I will do this mod....
talking about the mod, it has totally peaked my interest, primarily because of the OEM style integration. I would love to see all your wiring and how you did it. I am guessing your running a magellan 1700. For NAV and back up I'm sure it gets the job done. You have me thinking about running a playbook or the like now. Anyone know of a GPS/Tablet option in the same screen size, 7" or so? |

This setup doesn't completely solve my "disappointment" with not getting factory iDrive, but it helps a lot. A LOT! Once I saw the F30 screen it was a no brainer what I was going to do, I just had to make it look good. Several time I thought about swapping out my dash for an iDrive unit and installing a larger GPS unit. With Logic 7 you are limited on options to swap out for an indash unit without sticking the factory unit in the truck. A pain the ass and you lose other critical options for the car. I'm still working on some of the wiring for the aux inputs. I want to tie into the console jack. I'll post some of the wiring up. I'm also going to wrap the back in black CF like the rest of the interior to get rid of the silver look from the outside of the car. Looks fine, but I want it black so it doesn't stand out so much. You can plug anything into it and play vids, music, etc... Thanks for the feedback.. Last edited by MacBlack335i; 02-18-2012 at 09:51 AM.. |

Trim piece is from KUDA and I modified the stock Magellan adapter to directly attach to it. Made for a much cleaner fit and running the wires through it. Also keeps it closer to the DASH. And it's rock solid.

That looks awesome, bro. I have iDrive and I still think that looks really good. Hell, your interior looks really good. Lol.
Question though, can you adjust the angle of the screen? It looks like it's facing down a bit? |

I want to wire one of the steering wheel button to toggle the rear camera so I just hit the button and it brings up the rear view. smile.. I also want to wire a pin connection directly to the AUX for any media device. Thanks for the feedback... |

I got the camera directly from Magellan. $129 for the complete kit. *Make sure your unit will accept AUX input for the camera. I think the 1700 and 7" and up series have been out for just under 2 years. Thanks... |
