Sat Nav E39

[sam919]

Hi All Merry Xmas!,

Would this be a relatively easy fit to my E39. It would replace the radio/ cassette area ofcourse, do they hae the wiring to accomodate the already fitted cd player in the boot?

Thanks for any help in advance

For a start thats a 4:3 screen so you will instead need a 16:9 screen if you want to use the newer navigation computers. These are £300.

Then you need a Mk4 Nav Computer at £300.

Then you need a BM54 Radio Module at £250

Then you need a Navigation loom at £120

Then you need bracket for the boot at £30

Then you need to remove the entire interior to fit it.

Then you need to sit back and wonder why on earth it just cost you over £1000 to retrofit an 8 year old Navigation system when it only costs 400 quid to fit a far newer touchscreen system to an Audi. I've still not worked it out yet.

Ok good breakdown. What are the alternatives if any? Or is it a case of Tom tom out for any long journeys and relax with making the interior looking like the kennedy space centre

Ok Thanks for that. As luck would have it, i was offshore for xmas and being a car fanatic was the only one out of 120 people onboard to win a Tom Tom Xl. Love the tom tom anyway, bigger screen now.....sorted.
