Dear RB,
I'd done all the job mentioned above for my Japan spec E60 last week... so far everything work just fine
Regarding your questions:
1) Garmin gvn53 (the latest) is the best :top: simple to use operation...
2) TV... I still retain the TV function but never really use it... too blur and can't watch it while driving. Maybe our my. DIY, t2ribena, can shed some light here...
3) You can go to any BMW specialist and request for upgrade... but be careful.. coz the upgrade should cost less than RM1000. Mine had been upgraded to v30 and "AuxIn / Audio Aux" is displayed on iDrive screen
4) This is important... normally they will install the DVD player in your dashboard in your CD changer's place. But you will need to upgrade software first or else, the sound will be channeled thru radio frequency and not directly to your speakers.

I'll PM you the place I'd gone to ok???

Bro thule,


I was installed my dvd player dy now the sound was channeled thru radio frequency, the sound so bad, so where and how to upgrade my software coz i was in sabah kk now.
Thanks bro.

Bro Henry,

Can't really help you since you are in Sabah! Not familiar with this area
But any BMW specialist should be able to help you out... or else go back to any Authorised Service Centre for BMW and they will upgrade the software for you :top: if you are local specs then should be no problem but they don't guarantee that your CCC will be fried if your ride is Japan specs!! I took my chances and it turned out well!!! The cost will be somewhere around RM1k but can get cheaper if you know any specialist in KK!

No problemo bro
Glad that I can help! Anyway, once your software has been upgrade... your car will feel lighter and more responsive as it's a result of upgrading the software not only to your CCC but to all your modules in the E60 :top: enjoy the ride!!

I know some who uodate their software from time to time its basically like updating the software for iphone so that everything is smoother & faster. My purpose was to have the Aux In feature in my iDrive so software upgrade was a must for me that time.
But like i said.. No guarantee that they aren't going to fry your CCC! It's a risk that you have to take.

Could anyone verify that if Japan Spec Vehicles Diversity Antenna gets changed to the UK Spec Vehicles Diversity Antenna, can we receive local radio stations without having to install an FM Converter?

Around RM4-5K CCC with complete wide screen and installation?

 

[hakim_radzuan]

Around RM4-5K CCC with complete wide screen and installation?

if change the CCC only means we stil cant use the GPS rite?

 

[aoch88]

Can I just change the bigger LCD screen without changing the CCC or adding Navigation, etc?
