Is this better than the standard system in the BMW 7xx I see in your garage? I was told that that has a standard system build in including Traffic info and navigation and so.

Hey guys

Glad you like the install. I mean it was not as involved as some of the others on site.

yunusyu the screen is using a navwithtv.com unit for $399 u hit it on the money. It came with a remore control which you can see on the pic to the left of the i-drive its only function is to tougle between the i-drive screen and the video input.

aguila the 745 does have navigation system in it and it does come with live Traffic contral its standard. On my 5 the navigation is not standard the reason why i did not go for it is i was planing on puting a computer in this car even before i decided to buy it, the nav screen will stretch the image, i like my screen right now its 5'7 but the images are not stretched.

Yea i done the work my self it took me two days to hook it up to the battery, i used an fm modulator first horrible

but now i got AUX install at the dealership so the sound is great now.

You can see the case is fliped upside down, by though way its the new OPUS Mini-Itx case it comes with the build in fan and 90W power supply.

rafaelsherman one pic is music videos this is why i put a computer in my car i have over 400 the other is a picture of the I-Drive menu which is a front end for my car.

Quick question do you guys think if i put a 7' to that power supply it will have enough power??

Are you happy with this device?

Great install.

Must ask how do you like the new 5? I am debating if I should upgrade mine, I currently have a E39 which I love.

hey guys yep yep its all true a bimmer is an awsome ride, to be honest if somebody wants to show off they get a benz if you know about cars you get a bmw.

BasicEvil dude honestly i had a 01 5 and i loved it when i seen the new E60 i did not like it at first the looks you have to get used to plus inside is much more simplified, but after driving it for a bit i knew i had to get.Its bigger then the E39, not to mention faster in any model, now the inside is your personal prefrence i personaly think that the E39 had a much more nicer interior.
how is your e39 did you put a carputer in it?

BasicEvil · 11-09-2004, 12:20 PM

E39 is great, thats why I have been reluctant to part with it.

I guess the new look takes some getting used to. The jury is still out for me.

Added the puter to it. I didn't have the nav system so I removed the radio and replaced it with the touchscreen.
