You never used a question mark so I'm unsure wether it was a question or a statement.

first bit is a statement

also a typo, should have said, I am not 'am i'.

I also think thats a silly amount of money. But saying that I did spend similar on each of my Avic-X1r. but from my discussions with a few members here, the avic would not look to brilliant in the dash

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4332.html pretty much for a quick iPod interface through the head unit.

Talk about one person ruining a decent thread.

easyrider, forget the iPod connectivity that me and Nick are using, the adapter required is in beta test and has a minimum intelligence requirement. I'm afraid you've failed to reach the level required.

Its my thread and I'll post if I want to.

I hate macs so you maybe right

Just been reading through the thread, I'm buying a 330ci next week and it has the smaller screen, which has the tape unit on the side of it. Sat nav and TV.

If i wanted to upgrade to the 16x9 screen with bluetooth would i just have to change the screen only and fit the bluetooth??

Or would i have to buy everything??? Thanks

I think so. You should be able to do a straight swap with the screens. £300ish for a 16:9 off eBay, and you should get close to £100 for your 4:3.

Fitting Bluetooth is a mare iirc though as you will have to lay the loom to the boot which involves removing most of the interior.

Meds · 20 May 2007 at 16:40

Thanks for that Nick, i read somewhere (cant find the link again, doh!!) that if you have a small screen, your runing mk2, and the widescreen needs mk4 i think.... Do you know if there's any truth in that???

Bluetooth looks like its gonna be a pain, but i might go for it anyway, anyone know of any sites that tell you how?

I think you need at least the mk3 computer for the 16:9 screen. The mk2 is rubbish anyway, so it'll be worth upgrading. You may as well just go straight for the mk4 computer - but it's around £250-300. Mk3 goes for a bit over £100.

www.bmwland.co.uk might be the best place to look regarding the Bluetooth. Take a look in the ICE section.

Thanks dude

Wicksta · 20 May 2007 at 17:06

Meds, you can find the bluetooth retrofit pdf on my site under the downloads section:

http://bmwmods.co.uk

also a list of parts there. It's not that difficult to do really, I'd say it would take a novice about a day to do it. I managed both nav and bluetooth in a single day when I did my own car. I might even be able to give you a hand if you want, depending where in London you are.

Meds · 20 May 2007 at 17:27

Thanks Wicksta, will check them outm hopefully the bluetooth and 16 x 9 will be me summer project.... Fingers crossed i get the car on Sat...
Thanks for the offer too, will definately let you know if i need assistance dude, i'm in the east btw.

Are you all ********?

No, you are just really, really weird, and rather rude. I spent hours on MSN telling you exactly what model of car to buy, i said buy one with a screen already fitted if you want one. You didnt listen to anything i said, and in the end i had to block you as you were rude and incomprehensable. You then come on here and insult yet more people. Notice a trend in that everyone reacts to you in the same way that i did?

Lighten up mate,

I did listen:

I bought a sport
I bought a Automatic

In my 7 series, I help the ergonomics of its interior greatly - not - , with this technical marvel to get my £10 1GB MP3 player to play through my speakers.... (yes that price was £10! - the adaptor cost £4.99 which by comparison is extortion!)

Looks crap but works well! ( Also works damn well with the DVD player I use in my truck! )

Glad you are happy with what you got

I just dont take being insulted behind my back very well, especially after spending hours trying my best to help.

Not wanting to insult you behind your back Jez, but a while ago I was chatting to 'Fox on MSN and was more than surprised to hear from him that you were male, until that point, I'd thought the opposite!!!

What had given me that idea, I don't know.
