Sat Nav Retrofit Fitting Details

From memory:

20 gbp for the navigation antenna
75 gbp for the Nav radio
300 gbp for the Navigation Computer
75 - 120 for the screen
50 for the BMW supplied cable harness (plug and play)

Then you need the navigation DVD itself, which can be from "free" to 99 gbp from a dealer.
 
You need a combined fitting team :D I did the complete installation in 2 hours excluding the screen, which took me about 6. So get srhutch to do the screen in 2 hours :D

I did the screen cutting over 3 nights as I got fed up with it hence the prolonged time

I got a quote from a breaker at £245, just to be on the safe side. :wink:

Prices PVR quoted are spot on, with the exception of the Nav Computer generally yes they go for £300+ but I found one advertised on ebay as a Mini Cooper unit for £200 buy it now, very rare find.

PS both BMW and Mini Splashscreens are loaded into the unit, and so will display the correct spashscreen when connected to your Z4.

The hardest thing to find is the headunit, generally the only ones I have seen on ebay are advertised at 499 euros, but I know where you can get one for £75 plus postage. :lol:

and top it all off with some nice carbon leather trim. £180 ebay
 
£300 is for those that want to do the project "soon", not for those that can wait about a year before they start :P

That and plucking up courage to cut the hole.

PS if anybody wants a template you can have mine for £1,000. :lol:

Seriously though, if anybody did want it, they are more than welcome.

Thats the main reason it took me so long, I was patient and waited for a cheap DVD drive, that along with cutting the hole meant I was in no rush.
 
Stunning job, I know this may have been asked a million times... I would like to pay someone to do this including obtaining the parts, for a couple of reasons:

a) I'm crap at DIY
b) I'm lazy
c) I'm crap at DIY

ok thats 3, does anyone know a dealer that offers this service... in the UK.

Ta,

Neil
