Multimedia interfaces USB, rear cam, DAB, TV

Post by libra007 » Wed Jan 13, 2016 11:45 pm

I have recently bought my first X5 i wish to add rear view camera, a USB connection, DAB tuner and a TV tuner if possible. Rev Cam and USB are a priority others are nice to have

my car has got professional nav, bluetooth and a CD, DVD Nav drive, and a CD changer in glovebox

After searching forums and online still a bit confused what retrofit path i should go for..
Dension offer decent controls and option for audio but i cant see its offering AVR option anymore unless i buy used or old stock.
others found fistube, dvbLogic etc
for rear view camera whats best, OEM retrofit offered by BMW or aftermarket?

I just defected back to BMW from Audi world after selling my A6, know how to program CANbus for VW but BMW looks to have more learning curve to program. So i would be able to do some basic coding stuff too i believe fingers crossed.

Please advise and share your experiences for the above.

Thanks

What version E70? Is it an LCI, with the latest version of IDrive ? Has it not already got the USB in the armrest.
Someone on here had A DAB retrofit done recently, non OEM but fully integrated.
Also reverse camera kits are available on line.
Sorry don't know what AVR is

AVR is Audio Video Router or multimedia interface mostly for video inputs ie TV, reverse Camera or other video source.
