Sat Nav Retrofit Fitting Details

There's more there than just the nav loom. Looks like the audio loom to. I would go with the eBay one and check the loom continuity before fitting, but can't really see any issues.

thought it looked like a a lot of wires just waiting for a few more quotes
 
Hey guys, where did you get the cutting template from? I'm considering a similar mod and I have all the parts, except the cutting template :-)
I want to make sure I have the right one with the indication for the screw holes at the back!
 
I am also considering retrofitting a nav, as it happens that I can probably buy CID and HU for more less 200quid
but I cant really find the loom anywhere - is it possible that my 06 3.0si is prewired or I need the loom desperately?
 
Loom wont exist, you can modify one from an X3 or find a used one. Both myself and PVR made our own templates using the monitors as guides.
 
I am a "newbie"- recent owner of an 04 plate Z4; I am not skilled enough to install a sat nav / blue tooth device- suggestions on best/ most economical place to have this done? Thanks.
 
For the cost of sourcing all the parts this mod is no longer economical, and thats with out having someone to pay to install it :)
 
I have a small (Business) Navigation in my Z4 as in the following picture:

Is it possible to upgrade to Professional navigation with just monitor and Professional radio unit? I presume the loom mentioned here is already in my car used for small navi or is it a different one?
 
Loom will be different as it connects the monitor to the computer. Also believe you computer is a mk3 where as the pro unit is a DVD based mk4.
 
Oh, that's bad news.. About the computer. It's MK4, cuz it says DVD on it and i have a new bmw high 2017 maps on a DVD disc inserted and it works.

Just the loom, screen and head unit then. Loom will be the issue unless you can find one at a scrap yard.
 
Yeah i was afraid of that. The loom is impossible to find, so I guess i'm stuck with business navigation.. :( Thank you srhutch for the right answers.
 
Yes I read that. I just wanna know if the loom from the picture is really for X3's navigation. Does it look legit? Sometimes people sell something they don't know what it is.
 
Hard to say as there is probably more than one loom there. There is a connector for the head unit showing which isn't on the Nav loom.

You need to get the seller to separate the looms and send better pictures of connectors etc.
