I have bmw x5 2000 I want to upgrade and install navigation and phone what is the best way and options?
Posted by: BMW Videos / Category: Car Audiostickman asked:
I would like to get parts from a junkyard or a wrecked car.
I have handsfree streering wheel, but the hookup does not have to be bluetooth. It can be hardwired.
My current phone is samsung mma 920.
My x5 has DSP.
I want to do this myself and I would like it to only cost me for parts.
thanks !
Just to let eveeryone know I am perfectly capable of installing a navigation system into this car myself. What I specifically want to know is just how much I can upgrade the cars navigation without having to rewire everyother sensor in the car. Currently I heard I need an Mk4 computer, and a 16:9 screen, but as I go throught the tech manuals it looks like I may only be able to upgrade the unit to a wide screen (4:3) and an mkII. As far as the phone is concerned, i would be interested in an aftermarket bluetooth hookup, or instructions how to adapt the bmw hard wire phone so it can plug into my phones earplug and mic features. My biggest concern is I dont know enough aboout the DSP my car has and what roadblocks it may throw my way.
Also if the navigation works out, of course I would like to know if anyone has success installing the tv feature:)
Thanks all, Negative Nellies need not respond !

Sorry but you are going to need to take it to the dealership for that. They are pretty anal about installing stuff like that on your own and believe me you dont want to mess with the electrical part of that car. Also you wont find those cars in a junkyard and even if you did you wont find any of that stuff still laying around inside of them? You should of bought the car with all that stuff on it already.

The Nokia Auto MN201 is the best for an X5 fits easily but a bit pricy.. cool though displays graphics and heightened voice quality… gluck..
