So I was about to attempt this but the upgraded AVIN units have caught my eye. Hopefully the BT audio checks out. if so, then I'll probably just go that route.

Thanks for the pointer - big price difference between the two solutions, but indeed AVIN looks slick (though does have some glitchiness inherent with these kind of 3rd party products by the look of forum posts??)?

Also, I probably wouldn't get the AVIN one but this one instead. Looks identical but is about $120 cheaper ($374 right now): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-8-...890322934.html |

Ah yes, good call with going straight to aliexpress for most probably the same thing. Though I see benefits if getting it from US vendor for possible support? |

I usually don't put much weight into customer support. Those guys are usually useless. Also, AVIN has a 20% restocking fee + return shipping if I want to return it whereas Aliexpress has only return shipping BUT for either, if you go through Paypal, they will cover the cost of return shipping.

Another one to consider possibly is an American one, one which I'm considering which is new on my radar, NavTool: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh....php?t=1255370 Only reason I went looking was my wife has changed car to one with CarPlay with it, and come IOS 12 later in the year when Apple are finally going to allow Waze and Google Maps for use, I can possibly see this as being something with major use. Again the unit allows other AV inputs, but does take the Aux in line for use. Only thing is so far, haven't found many/any reviews or videos of the install etc (but prob haven't searched hard enough). |
