hello good people ive just brought a bmw 5 series 2004 which has the i drive system but no sat nav, does anyone know how i go about installing the sat nat to my system and a rough cost,many thanks.

I am no expert, but I believe it is very hard to retrofit the system/not worth the money it would cost.

Just use a TomTom or similar, much better than the BMW systems, does full postcode searches etc.

I am pretty sure its a bh compared to doing it in the E39s.

Hi Nick,

Very approximately - depending on the spec of your car currently, then I'd say £1500+ to retrofit the higher range BMW satnav system in your car. If your's is really basic, and requires other modules for instance then expect that cost to go up quite a bit more.

I'd personally spend £26 and get Co-Pilot on your smartphone assuming you have one..

Else, get a standalone device perhaps for around £150.

Cheers, Dennis!
