This is for the 02 t0 05 pre touch screen cars
lets start with the easy ones,change the mk3 nav to the mk4 system, this is very easy and you will end up with a far better nav system, this was my first upgrade.

TV tuner was the next, this was also very easy but finding a digital unit was the hardest part i have ever looked for. the hybrid unit was used on most mtec bmw after 04, 3and 5 series, x5 z3/4 had them but they are hard to find or when you do they are big money, but in my opinion a well worth upgrade with all the free view channels available and the fact that analog is on its way out fast.
ipod integration, i have not done this one my self but there are a few posts on here about the intravee along with the changing of the cd player for the later unit that plays mp3s and if you have the b54 radio you will get cd text,as long as its on the cd..
I KNOW OF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOT MP3 DISC STUCK IN THERE PLAYERS TRYING TO SEE IF THEY WILL PLAY, ME INCLUDED SO BE WARNED,
They started to roll out the mp3 players after September 05 any thing before that will not work.
hi, we all know that putting the 06 on-wards fronts on to the l322 pre touch screen models 02/05 is possible and now the 2010 fronts have been fitted, lights grills,vents and wheels also fit, you can fit the 05 onwards mirrors to the earlier model but have to use the later switches in order to get the folding option to work, brembo callipers can also be fitted, but you must use a set from the supercharged and not the sport.
you can change your rear quarter windows with the 06 full glass to get rid of the large black plastic moulding on the edge of the window that's on the early ones,

you can fit the bmw bluetooth unit,this gives you full voice recognition over the phone and nav,
the car will see your phone and connect to it as soon as you get in the car, this one does require that you have the pre wired telephone system in the car as other wise you will need to fit a complete telephone loom from front to back, not the end of the world..
