Hi guys, due to some thieving t**t helping themselves to my head unit over the weekend.. I'm now in the market for a new head unit!! Problem is.. I'm unsure which ones will be compatible with my headrest screens?? I have a 2004 E53 with the entertainment pack. Any help and guidance will be gratefully received

If it is a genuine BMW system, then you need a Mark 4 widescreen head.  The clever stuff is in the boot.

It’s called the BMW DVD Advanced System.  No longer available new, but Mark 4 heads are around second hand.

Use Realoem (BMW Parts Database copy on line) and the last 7 characters of your VIN to pull up the right model.

Details will be in the Retrofittings section and Audio/Navigation section.

Oh, and :hi: aboard.  Not the greatest way to join  :o

Thanks for the info..

Are there any aftermarket head units that you could recommend at all?

Glad to be here, even given the circumstances!! Always good to speak with owners and pros
