Widescreen monitor + Navi retrofit

[Calvin Tan]

Just finished install my widescreen monitor with CD player, GPS navigation and TV module yesterday. Since this is all BMW original parts all direct fitment and no modification is required. And I have ordered the Ipod video from the US, so I can play MTV and DVD in the car.ACS gave me a link http://www.automotivesynergy.com/gps.html which sell GPS navigation map for Malaysia. Need to find out more if this is compatible for BMW factory navigation or not. My sense of direction very bad, sometime will get lost. So better full use of the satelite. Can also use it when reach "Kia Su" Island ma.... Here are some pics....

The Mio is Pocket PC based.... doubt you can load the map into the DVD player....
I have also checked with Garmin and the map supplier for BMW, Navtech....

Malaysia TIDAK Boleh!

If you find one that works PLEEEEEEZ let me know!

then use it for TV and ipod video la... use the navi only when you in Kia Su Island. Since we are in Malay Land, can just bang around. I'm sure we will find the way...

Huh? Driving and watching TV/Video/DVD at the same time?

No la! It is not safe to drive and watch la..
I have make AV input connection from the monitor, so I can connect to whatever electronic gadget like Video camera, digital camera, DVD changer or player, ipod and more.... as long as they have AV output (red/white/yellow RCA output). This is gonna be fun....
