bmw navman

holycow · 12-18-2010, 07:34 PM

we have a 125i and are thinking of a bmw navman that fits into the empty compartment on top of the dash.do they sell a basic bmw navman to fit there and if they do ,at what cost?

As far as i thought the BMW navman is called Idrive and it has to be ordered with the car when its built...

Theres plenty of aftermarkets mods in the electrical section about putting non-BMW nav systems in.

Maybe theres something im not aware of though.

AFAIK all the BMW nav units are made by Garmin, and you can buy one along with a modified box to retrofit it into your car, but you'd be up for a bit of dough.

I am positive that BMW was offering some sort of portable Sat Nav device back in 08/09 as part of the corporate program.

Check with your dealer.

It's a Garmin, so it can't be anywhere near as dreadful as the iDrive's nav system.

My Idrive (2010 build) is utter rubbish! My Nuvifone A50 is better in every respect and get this - $200 at tricky dickeys, no lock, no contract and lifetime updates!
