Re: Language?

Found solution on forum
Speed Camera Alerts ON - English
Speed Camera Alerts OFF - French
Is it possible to set it to English regardless?

Language?

Just loaded Nav v32 on my E53 X5. All is well with the on board computer/GPS etc including use of English on screen and for directions but:
the language in the Instrument cluster displays has suddenly changed to French e.g 'Heure' instead of 'Time'

Just bought a 2005 X5 3.0d (from somewhere too far away for convenient return of vehicle)

Steering wheel paint defects

Hi
Just bought a 2005 3.0d Sport. Along with others we looked at the paint (?) is coming off the black multi function steering wheel plastic section with the buttons where it meets the rim. Is matt black paint best for touching up? 
Thanks for any advice

Re: CD changer

Hello
Thanks for the replies. So a CD changer unit should just connect up and slot in? What I am trying to ask is this - is any other hardware required i.e a unit to secure it in place so it clicks in and stays put, or is that already built in?
Regards
John

CD changer

Hello
Just buying a 2005 3.0TDi Sport. No CD changer but BMW spec says "Preparation, BMW 6-CD changer I-bus"
Does this mean I can simply plug in the appropriate CD changer as available on Ebay or am I likely to need something to fit it into the appropriate space in the boot.
Thanks for any advice ...
