curryinahurry 39 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Hi Clinton, I've got one from an 2002 M3. I was planning to install it in my car, but have kinda lost motivation due to difficulties obtaining the correct harness to make everything work. I'm not sure if it'll work on your car, and it will be up to you to find out. Let me know if your interested. Cheers, Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Just did a realOEM search for you and it seems only fa tuner from an E53 will work. Thats based on part numbers though, theres always a custom job you could do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jochen 4 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 Just did a realOEM search for you and it seems only fa tuner from an E53 will work. Thats based on part numbers though, theres always a custom job you could do Any TV tuner from any BMW with the same VDO/Philips Mk3/Mk4 nav system will work Only prerequisites: Must be 16:9 capable - this means manufacture date of 2002 or newer So you can take a tuner from a BMW 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, X3, X5, Z4, or a Mini, or a Range Rover, or a Rolls Royce. All with the same system. The same tuner is fitted world wide, so it doesn't matter what market the car was built for (Europe, USA, Japan, China, etc) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jochen 4 Report post Posted February 22, 2010 And as for the loom, you may need to buy that new or get one from a wreckers. The loom is X5 specific, due to the cable lengths required due to the location of the TV tuner with respect to the nav system. An E38, E46 or E39 loom won't fit. See RealOEM for the loom part number.

I honestly have no clue what its worth though Opinions on price would be welcome... if its not worth a lot then I might have to figure out how to get it in my car.
