BMW X5 Le Mans Blue Sport - No CD Changer - Options?

Post by 6bmw » Tue Apr 05, 2011 6:19 pm

Hi all,

I take delivery of a 2006 3.0d Le Mans Blue early next week. The car is fully loaded with Climate, Comms, and Premium Pack but is missing a CD Changer. It does have CD Changer preparation.

What options do I have? HOw easy is it to fit a USB port - can this be done? WHat about something like a Intravee - how do they work?

Can anyone recommend a good fitter around Middlesex, South Bucks area?

Thanks

Yes, Intravee works great as long as you have the satnav screen which I think you have.

I really like mine, best connectivity I have seen.

Sanjtravee will be along soon to bore you to death with the details though ... :P

Didn't take you long!

Yes the IV is good.

Full iPod integration, search for Intravee. :)

New features include, lock on placing auto in Park and new PDC info on OBD (all 8 PDC's show distance to obstruction in cms or inches). If you have folding mirror option as OEM, you have otions on folding and unfolding.

Where are you based?

The Intravee can be fitted in minutes by yourself. But happy to do it for you if you want. Hook up and have pint too...

Do a search but you need the Intravee and the KCA-420i Alpine unit, available from ebay, toysinyourcar.co.uk.
