thanks

sure, i'm in the middle of finals and all that, but i'll try to snap some pics.
it's awesome, because in regard to security, no one knows what this is! Unfortunately to say, my sister has a tomtom in her e46, and she even took the windshield mount off... but the scumbag piece of shit saw the suction cup residue (i'm assuming), and smashed the window and stole it.

I hope he dies of necrotizing faciitis

You're driving a German car, not a Japanese car.

no sir... you can adjust the brightness... and at the time being, i think it's only at like 1/2, and i found that to be perfect.
the total cost, of unit and install, was approx. a few dollar under $800

txusa03 · 12-21-2007, 08:13 PM

not bad but $$$ is too rich for my wallet. Can this port navi unit do RTTI?

RTTI? idk what that is... i think it has to do w/ traffic--provided all the t's?
in that case, no. you have to buy service for that i believe.

txusa03 · 12-21-2007, 08:30 PM

Yes, Real Time Traffic Info. I definitely need this service in a big city with lots of rush hours. Just wondering if the port navi has something similar.

i think that's what you're looking for... but it's a service, so you have to pay for it!

The install is a LOT cleaner than I expected. It looks very good. Props to BMW.

Agree 100%. Looks great. Now, I am more incline to get one.
Thanks for the photos.

On a different note, how did you install your V1? It looks like you've got the power cable tucked behind the passenger visor, but I'm curious to know where you have it plugged in? I'm waiting on a new 335xi, and have a V1 in the box waiting to go!

check the V1 hardwire through fusebox on this forum...
it's not tucked behind the visor... it's actually tucked under the trip. Then i got a fuse tap, and am running a fuse from the tap. Therefore, no need to slice and splice.

liliej · 12-26-2007, 08:11 AM

Pretty cool. Not sure I want to start pulling consoles off. I guess I'll have to deal with the wire hanging down! Thanks again.

dmz · 12-26-2007, 01:22 PM

Sorry, but that tiny screen looks gay. for that much money you can get a Garmin or Tomtom with a larger widescreen that looks 10x better and have the same or more feature.

mrvuml · 12-29-2007, 10:37 PM

Anyone have a link to the user manual for the new BMW Nav system?

mrvuml · 01-02-2008, 06:44 PM

Never mind, I found it here...

yeah i bought a nuvi 650 wide screen like a year ago and it cost less money than the bmw installed system

efunroom · 12-15-2008, 08:02 AM

I saw a pretty mount kit which seems no need to drill a hole in console.
