Hi all, just bought a 2007 x5 3.0d with a small fault and thought I'd share what turned out to be a cheap solution!

The sat nav doesn't work in my car (doesn't recognise the disc) google, and websites like this revealed that this is a common fail as the anti vibration gel hardens on the DVD head. Looked around on eBay for a new ccc and could only find full units for £5-600.

Decided to ring BMW and it turns out they now sell the DVD unit for a very reasonable £70. I've ordered one for pick up tomorrow and will fit it myself thanks to a YouTube video showing you how!

Isn't tinternet brilliant!

Congratulations on the car.  Sadly the one thing on BMWs that is useless is the SatNav, so don't get too excited.  The rest of the car is brilliant ...

Welcome Hoppy, nice find and congratulations on your new ride.

PS, don't take too long to throw up some pictures of the beast. 

That's the only one I have at the mo!

Has it just been crashed into a brick wall!??

haha, its a bit close to the garage door! If i'd know the photo was going public i'd have made a bit more of an effort... O:-)
