Hi all

Hi, I have just installed the PX5 from Joying that is functional with everything and looks great too.Touch screen and fully functional. Around $580.Use of steering wheel controls,hands free phone,nav and movie playback in motion. Was all plug and play and I also got the Digital TV too.No cutting or anything to mess up the original surrounds.

Hey Funky, you still have control of all the functions on the i Drive screen as well as on the separate display. I have upgraded my i Drive screen head Unit as well as adding this extra display. My head unit in the dash is the same as a 2014, with the added display(PX5) as I have pointed out to you. I cannot fault either.In hindsight I would have just installed the PX5, but i had already changed the Dash head unit already too.I dont mind the both displays as my partner can have a movie going on the top Unit and I can have the Nav in full screen down below.
