    New multi media system fitted

    Well i finaly got around to fitting the Digoptions multi media system today. I took it to Peter at Platinum car audio in Ryde hes a mobile guy but i went to his place as i new it was going to be a little more difficult than a normal repacement.
    The unit is the same as for the x5 and several other BMW vehicles. At first it didnt look like it was going to fit but with a bit of surgery to the hidden plastic frame we were able to rotate the whole unit and get a nice even curve top & bottom. Everything works sat nav is great with on & off road maps ,reverse camera & forward recorder cam. The radio & stereo are much improved. Hands free phone is very clear. Blue tooth conectivity is quick and i can play music from my ipad or phone. The gps warns you when you are over the speec limit which is very clever.
    I will post a few pics over a few posts.

    Plastic wood

    I had some wood trim bits left over from kit i recently fitted so i cut these up to cover the side of the curve of the unit.

    So those of you were waiting to see how good it worked out can go ahead and get one. If your fitting it yourself i took a video of the surgery required for the rear frame. A mini air reciprocating saw does this very well & a mini air linisher to tidy op the cuts. If you live in Sydney its worth having it done by a professional for $250. Now Peter has done mine the next one will be twice as quick but it may pay to do tne wood trim kit as well really sets it off nice.

    Im mot sure the exact wattage but its over double the original. Very clear no distortion . It has amplifer capability to add on but thatbwould be wasted on me.
    But you never know . I now have a redundant CD Stacker if anyone wants one . I have thousands of songs on my ipad so dont use the stacker.

    DM, can I ask where the rear camera is mounted? I'm about to add one to back of my car as the absurd one at the top of rear windscreen cant see the tow ball (needless to say yours has nailed that problem lol!!!.

    I was going to attach to rear number plate...but is yours in the bumper?



    Cheers
