Anyone have a good source for the parts and DIY procedeure to take a 2002 e46 m3 CD-based Navigation system and convert it to the newer DVD-based Navigation??
This is for my '02 PY m3 (will post pics soon) that I purchased yesterday! Love everything about the vehicle, except the Nav system is from the ice-age.

Yes, I hate the CD-based navigation. Soooo slow and obsolete. I only wish a Garmin would integrate as beautifully as the OEM one does in the dash.
Upgrading is a simple as buying a MkIV unit, usually from eBay, for about $450-500. It's plug-and-play, IIRC, but honestly, it still won't be nearly as good and customizable as a $300 Garmin.
Congrats on your purchase. Obligatory pics or .

Wow, very helpful responses so far.
So the unit EAS sells is plug and play, and it is just the OEM piece from a 2003.5+?
What Nav disks will I need to have the 'latest and greatest'.
Ohnoes - thanks for the tip on ebay, what should I search for? And yes I will get pics soon enough I'm stuck at work (trying to pay for this yellow monster).
okay so to get this straigt, the CD based version is now out dated, and the DVD system is what everyone is going with? With that said, can software or DVD's be cut from the internet as updates are avail?
