Anyone interested in Factory Nav?

I am thinking about selling my factory nav system -whole or parted out. I drive a 2008 Z4MR. I find it more distracting than useful. It's cool.. but I know where I'm going. ;-)

If interested; send me an offer.

There's at least 3 parts to this.
!) The display with motor drive
2) The head unit with radio
3) The DVD drive in the storage compartment

Which are you offering?

I'd be interested in the display with the motor drive ... but I'd also be happy with a mechanically working unit that has a faulty/broken LCD display (for a project perhaps!) if anyone has one for a reasonable price.

If you sold the satnav ... what would you put in its place?

It's more than just a nav

If you had a Intravee II you might consider keeping the nav after seeing all the cool stuff it can do besides just hooking up a ipod and HD radio. The journal log is pretty cool since it records the max speed and max rpm, the acceleration and braking G forces are displayed, but I don't know how accurate is it due to the slower sample rate. I have not association with Intravee, just a satisfied customer.

PS. I believe the GPS aerial is located in the middle of the roof frame behind the interior lamp, so you should include that with the sale.

I'm in the Twin Cities area. We can meet up at either your place or mine and swap. Let's talk.

@Stickmon: In for penny, in for a pound. All 3. No sense in leaving partial system in place.

@Pungo: I've read about the add-ons. I'm not interested. I have a big, loaded CX-9 for commuting.. this is just a fun, summer car.

@ongnoi: Swap what? Not really interested in factory radios. Is there local Z4 group? I was thinking of doing BIR on the 15th (http://birperformance.com/skins/defa...dule-lr-v1.pdf)

You are going to remove the nav and not swap in the stock setup...?

Just curious, what do you plan on putting in it's place? Theres going to be a huge hole in your dashboard isnt there?

@Z4inAZ : X3 has same system. It seems all (at least after a certain date) had the hole cut in their dash. There is a in dash shelf option. Basically; looks the same as nag system, except little button in front that opens the lid to small storage bin.

I swap my NAV/Bluetooth system for a regular Z4 audio system for 800$. And we swap dash so I don't have a big hole in the middle of the dash.

I think it worth the time you will take to strip the car interior completely

Sinbad4 - My M Coupe doesn't have NAV. So ideally we can swap my dash and head unit + cash for your dash, head unit, NAV display and other electronics that make it work.

Now that you mention it, I know exactly what you are talking about, I have a friend with a later X3! That explains why that cubby is their on that car... I do admit I was always a bit curious. Nav hadnt even crossed my mind.

Should be good for holding sunglasses or wallet I for one am all about simplicity on my BMWs so I love this swap. Good luck I hope it works out for you
