You have one of the easiest cars to retrofit. It's really simple. You bolt in a bracket, plug in a small loom in the boot, fit the antenna and slide in the nav. Done. All the work happens in the boot. Very easily DIY. You must use a Mk4 nav (Mk3 cannot be used in the X3). Mk4 nav new is about $5,000, or 2nd hand around $700 to $1200 depending on your luck 2nd hand see ebay, or email hotwire on this forum, he probably has a nav available. Bracket from BMW new, plus about 2 or 3 bolts. See RealOEM for part numbers. And at the end get BMW to run the retrofit coding so you car has nav properly entered in its options list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
