Ordered this today...I like the basic black look, closer to OEM than most stuff out there. It's purely digital based, so SD cards and USB drives will be the media of choice. Screen color is customizable, so I should be able to dial in a BMW interior orange on it.

Plus, I believe it's a bit lighter than a deck with a CD mechanism in it, so perfect for the CSL project!

Weird that only a couple places seem to carry all their stuff in North America...

all bmw's back in 80's used to have the blaupunkt products

Where did you end up ordering this from?

Where did you end up ordering this from?

Since I'm in Canada, I ordered from midwestelectronics.com . . .
If I was in the States I would have ordered it from Crutchfield.

cheers

how much was that?

midwest = $150 + s/h
crutchfield = $160, free shipping to cont.US

Looks like a nice unit. Please let us know how it turns out once you install/use it.

Cheers

Will follow up with pics and a review!

Sounds really good, though I think I toasted an important module when I swapped heads....argh.

Looks good. I'm very dumb on anything that deals with electricity. Is that a thumb drive?

I'm dumb on electricity too, which is probably why I screwed something up.
It's a USB cable in the glove box with a thumb drive....unit also has an SD card slot.

cheers
