16:9 screen without SatNAV

[MistaSmiff]

..I'm sure this is possible.. [hmm

16:9 screen (genuine BMW) with no Sat Nav and no TV, just running your stereo. I spoke to Navman who said it can't be done, I'm not doubting him BUT I'm sure the U.S guys have done this. [hmm

Without the TV module you won't get the full screen. Just the back up screen which looks like a computer monitor from the 1980s.

Right then...so I can still have the 16:9 screen+TV with no SATNAV ? [hmm

[BigFas]

yep, you'll also have the OBC functions on the screen as well.

[MistaSmiff]

Wicked stuff [banana , Navman said he could'nt do this set up :( , will ask him again.

[BigFas]

It's an option from the factory. Widescreen, OBC, TV without Sat Nav. just needs the right wiring loom

[MistaSmiff]

cheers BigFas.

Why would you not want the sat nav. It will only be about £350 more to retrofit [hmm

Also the TV is something you will probably never really use..... Even if you add a DVD player :confused:

I basically want an OEM screen that controls my stereo and OBC.

I don't need sat nav simply because I don't travel around europe which is the only real use i can see for sat nav, I can more or less find my around the uk with a simple £2.99 atlas. Having the TV module as BigFas says is necessary.

I know you can get the 16:9 screens for approx £400-£500 ebay :rolleyes: , the tv module can't be that much then it's just installation but as Big Fas says it can be done. I'm not gonna spend £££'s for stuff i'm not going to put it to good use.

The later more reliable TV modules go for about £200. You will also need a radio module (proffesional I would assume) this will be about another £200-£250 then you will need the mounting brackets......

You see even without the Nav you are going to spend a grand of your hard reddies [bang

[MistaSmiff]

Hapry...you've put me right off getting one now :confused:

Sorry dude...

Been there done it...
