either after market or bmw units

TAPE PLAYER UPGRADE.
Re: TAPE PLAYER UPGRADE.
BMW units don't fit so aftermarket is your option, or fit an iPod adapter system. Several have done it on here if you have a search about. Look for Android, Hualingen, DICE, Intravee.

Re: TAPE PLAYER UPGRADE.
If you want to fit an after market unit you lose the obc. I have a full kit to convert to single DIN head unit including fascia adapter all wiring and aerial adapter. Yours for £25 posted within the UK looks like this in the X5.
I carbon wrapped it to match my dash but is black plastic now.
If I get in trouble for posting it here I'll move it to the FS section.

Re: TAPE PLAYER UPGRADE.
No. Theyr shit. Hardly any testing, poor after sales support and generally inferior quality. Buy a double din branded unit. That will be your best option and inexpensive.
Re: TAPE PLAYER UPGRADE.
Might just pick up an after market double din.
