Welcome on board the X Drivers band-wagon 

[quote="IronMonkeyPimp"] Whats the going rate for an Intravee II and KCA combo ? Any common issues to look out for when buying used ? Thanks [/quote] I bought one on here a few weeks ago for £185, they vary between £165 to £220 that I've seen on diff forums. The reason the Intravee doesn't...

its nationwide. I got it through Amazon local as I'm near Southampton but if you look at the link it says any ATS throughout the country

Where about? Maybe meet up next time I'm over?

I'm in Southampton end of this month to collect my daughter from uni, I might just check this out

I don't know of any dedicated X series forums, but I have a couple of others that might be able to help.

Good luck

Oooooo I'm seriously tempted Raj, decisions decisions  :'(

Does it have a TuV certificate with it, I'd need one to get it thru the MOT over here.

I must say I had it done in my old E39, but that was to be able to get the 2 rear headrest screens working
to watch TV for the kids.

If you put something on that you have absolutely no interest in, then it doesn't affect you 

You could look at a Dynavin replacement head unit at £600 http://www.dynavinstore.com/shop/bmw-series/dynavin-dvn-e39a-d99.html The DVN-E39A is the most technically advanced unit available for your BMW E39 5-Series (1996-2003) or BMW E53 X5-Series (1999-2006). The software of the DVN-E39A can be upg...

I had my '05 3.0d re-mapped about 2 months after I bought it 6 years ago. It already had a 'strong' engine before the re-map according to the guy that did it. I had it on a rolling road about 3 years ago and it had 275 PS and 535 NM if I remember correctly. Fuel consumption improved 1-2 MPG on short...

CHA-S634 Alpine 6 CD & MP3 changer.  Also you can use an Alpine KCA-410c in lieu of the Intravee switch.

Thxvm for that

[quote="Sanj"] Tbh I don't know - there used to be a thread on the old intravention forum but that site is no more.  Have a search on this forum as it's been used for all things Intravee now and RichardP is the guru on this. [/quote] Ah yes, I'm on the 5 forum so I can go ask, cheers Sanj.

You need the Intravee switch, link here. Third one down.
[/quote]

Thxvm Sanj, which Alpine CDC is needed, or will any of them do the job?

[quote="dgm"] You can keep a CD changer with an Intravee if you want, it just means buying a different Alpine CD player which is a physical match for the OEM one and fits exactly but works with Intravee. It means more expense and work though, I did it on my Z4 and wished I hadn't bothered ...
