The Alpine TUA-100DAB can sell for upwards of £250 on eBay.

This equipment is all in full working condition and is in good condition cosmetically apart from the KCA-420i which has some surface marking on it's casing. This is the way I bought it, however it is in perfect working order and has worked faultlessly in the three years it was installed in my X5. Once installed it's hidden anyway.

Having sold my E53 X5, I removed this complete set up. I make the assumption that if you're looking at this advert that you have a fair idea of what functions this will give you. If not then it's for playing iPhone, iPod, iPad audio content through the car's speakers and allowing operation through the car's nav screen and controls (works without a nav screen also).

The Intravee also allows the set up of certain features within the car such as auto door locking, mirror folding etc.

The digital radio function is provided via an Alpine TUA-100DAB unit which are ultra rare and only come up for sale very occasionally. Again, once connected to the Intravee, this allows full operation of DAB stations through the nav screen and vehicle controls. The unit requires a separate DAB aerial and I used this one which was discretely stuck to the outer edge of the windscreen on the passenger side.

My aerial isn't included in this sale as they are a one use application but the JVC extension lead is (probably not required in a Z4 installation).This will work with other makes of DAB aerial with the same connector type.

The wiring loom I made up using BMW connectors makes the installation plug and play with no need to use a separate power source for the DAB unit and no cutting in to the vehicle's wiring. You only need to connect the ground cable up to the vehicle. It can be made to look like original equipment.

I still have the same set up in my Z4MC and I wouldn't have a BMW of this era without it installed. It makes up to a large extent for the ageing technology that's installed in these cars which has been quickly surpassed.

This is also advertised on Xdrivers forum before I put it on eBay. I think the price is fair and would be less than that which could be attained on eBay. I'd rather sell it to a forum member and save on eBay fees at the same time. My preference is to sell it together but I'd consider splitting the DAB unit from the rest if I got the right offer. Thanks.

Really want this set-up, but having just shelled out on the Z4MC this weekend, I'm a bit short.

....easy payment instalment method? :D

Good luck with the sale.
Love DAB. Got the factory DAB in the x5 and I bought a dab unit a while ago to add to my intravee in the Z4 but have yet to install it. Didn't realise you could power it like that. Where did you get the connectors from and what are they called please?
 
Thanks, loads of watchers for it so looks promising on eBay.

The connectors and BMW part numbers are

Plug - 61138377072
Bushing Contacts (3 required) 61130005197
Socket - 61136931929 *
Pins (3 required) 61130005198

I initially got the suggestion and part numbers from the late founder of the Intravee site, really simple idea that saves a lot of messing about.
 
Excellent. Thanks. The cd cable on my Z does not have much slack so this will enable me to relocate the intravee as well.
