I have only seen one unit that claims to integrate with the OBD.
But can't remember what it was and never found any reviews ref the OBD side..

TBH it wouldn't be that hard to integrate which surprises me why more don't..

I havnt fitted one of them , but i fitted a Dynavin aftermarket headunit, my X5 didn't have factory nav, but the single slot CD and the MID unit.
I kept the MID unit still connected in the glove box so I could still have the binnacle computer reset ability.
If you have factory nav in yours you will loose the ability to rest MPG/ time/ date etc also heater timers.
Also you need to run an additional Facra cable into the boot to enable the radio to work as the aerial only goes to the boot on factory nav models.
