Sold my E53 X5, so have the following parts for sale.

These need no introduction. Intravee and Alpine KCA-420i with ipod connector. Firmware upgraded in March. Just looking to get back what I paid for it, £165, will include p&p.




Eibach Pro Spacers (bolt onto hub) 20mm (per side) Part number BMS90720011  PCD: 5x120 Centerbore: 72,5mm. Bought new in March and done around 4k miles. All bolts etc supplied. £109 new on ebay, will sell for £80 posted. Will give them a good clean and include black plastic caps for the bolts to finish off the look



Superchips Bluefin remap device. Reset by Superchip (letter to prove) only 6 months old. Will sell for £255 posted.



Genuine BMW 132 style wheels for E53 X5. I bought these off a local lad, with the intention of removing the tyres and fitting winter tyres (and sell the tyres). They were freshly powder coated for a durable finish. Acceltra tyres still have the labels on them, only done a few miles round the block. Tyres sizes are standard E46/90 3 series size, 255/30/19 and 225/35/19.  Fronts are 9x19 ET48 and Rears 10x19 and ET45

Few small minor marks from storage and transportation, but just very very picky. Includes carbon look centre caps. £500

Wekly bump

Added Bluefin device added, reset by Superchips.

Wheels sold. Some guys just drove from outside Manchester, approx 680 miles round trip, nutter!!!

Im interested in the Intravee but dont really know if it will work with my E53 or what it is capable of tbh.

Spent a good time reading on them and made it more confusing !

Hi,

I bought it primarily for playing music from my ipod (apple connections), select album, artist, playlist etc etc. However it does allow you to configure some other aspects of the car, auto-locking on drive off, flashing indicators when locking the car etc plus a few more I can't think of just now.

Do you have the Nav screen? I did, so know 100% it works with that set. Unsure if\how it would work with a standard head unit. 

There is lots of support\information here - http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/forum/117-intravee/

Let me know if you want any more information.

Does it charge the Ipod and play the music from it at the same time ?

Im my last car (with after market head unit) I had it set up to just read music from a USB stick (as I dont have an Ipod) but this seems alot harder to do on the BMW.

The extra features are nice but im more concerned with getting the music to work in all honesty

In the future id like to add a reverse camera too - does the intravee help or hinder with this at all ?

Also can I keep the opearation of the CD changer too ?

Sorry for all the questions but im not really in the know when it comes to in car entertainment

Ive got the 16:9 sat nav in a 4.8IS if that affects anything also ?

Sorry for all the questions !

It does charge the ipod yes, I think mine was a generation 3 or 4.

Not sure about the reverse camera, sorry. (one thing the Intravee gives you is distances for each corner of parking sensors which is cool, i.e. front left 1.2" .....

Sorry no, I should have said, the Intravee replaces the CD autochanger

I had the 16:9 Sat Nav too.

Just to add that it IS possible to have a CD changer as well as an Intravee fitted, but NOT the BMW OEM CD changer - there are a few Alpine changers which are compatible, plus you need a special Intravee switch to enable both the cd changer and the Intravee to work - these switches are rather hard to come by these days.  I have one somewhere as well as a compatible CD changer which I was going to fit to my 4.8, but never got around to it. 

Generally, though, the Intravee replaces the CD changer.

Thats cool - id assume I can add a camera at a later date if the Intravee does not use the tv screen mode ?

When it replaces it do I have to cut wires etc or just unplug one and plug the other in ?

Cheers for ths info guys
