[Vinash]

Hi guys i came across this add thinking of putting a unit in my e92 what do you guys think? http://www.vwtoyotatouchscreens.co.za/bmw/bmw-6-2-inch-hd-car-stereo-with-built-in-3g-and-wifi/ apparently your steering controls still works.

Personally I would steer clear. I have seen dashboards light up like Christmas trees!

Do you want this primarily for the Nav?

i really wont like to see such on my dash. Well for the Navigation, bluetooth and USB thats what i want it for. (do have a parrot system but i cant get it to clear the device memory to pair my new phone)

Depends where you are based, it is just a matter of removing the old unit and plugging in the new one, uses all the standard fitment hardware.

I'd steer clear. Removing the stock radio will kill the Most bus and the KCan line. Faults may or may not appear on the dash, but it will be logged on the system. You also won't be able to do proper diagnostics on the car with the Missing Most loop.

BT and usb is easy to retrofit using a MULF. Nav you can get on your cell phone. What MY is your car? You might be lucky and it's already prepared for BT.

thanks for the advice, USB sounds good is it easy to install, my car is 2007 E92

What's the build month? If built after July you should be ok. It's easy'ish to install, but there a fair amount of stripping required to get the USB and audio cables to the armrest from the boot. Otherwise all the other wiring is already in there

Guys to be honest im one of those who wants this Gps Navigation radio but so many people here are advising to play far from www.stopshop.co.za and I did went to look on Hello Peter and indeed peo0le are complaining...
Soundlouder is selling the same stuff just im not sure how good are they with customer service.
All best and lets hope well all come ok .
