If I can get all the other goodies working too - Aux Heat, BC and such, that is reason enough for me to shell out the cash, to transfer my E38 into the Media Future. My Stance on this is like zipdrives - I love my 16" wheels, because they drive sooo much better on long distances, the mpgs are higher, and the tires are cheaper. Win Win all around. I did spend 9000€ on overhauling the engine/drivetrain at 510 000 km, and have also spent tons of money on alpine audio equipment in the car. This mod is right up there, and I´d just love to get going.

    Are you guys all going 10" route, or 8.8? Adrian wrote me that 8.8 is easier to fit?

    For the controller location. I wil be ripping out my telefon, and will go for a sled based design. I will try to add the controller to a small protrudence infront of the sled / incorperated into the sled, so if you dangle your hand in the natural position, you can grab the controller. Not quite sure if feasible, but worth a try. Maybe something for a friends 3d printer

    I never knew what happened there, unless it was due to the banter between he and Sig.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out why my nav doesn't have any voice output. That's a different story though.
    But then why not something like those Dynavin units? They are a few hundred bucks, integrate cleanly and seems like people have enjoyed them? Not saying not to go with this retrofit, but since it's not supported, you have to have heavily modify things, cost a couple grand, no warranty, etc..

    I've got this system and I'm really not impressed with it (and BT audio is not that good). I wouldn't transfer it into my E38 even if it were free and assuming everything worked on it.

    For one thing there isn't a dynavin for e38 and e39 won't work.

    Ah, then that does make a little more sense for this mod. I still wouldn't bother moving my F01 system to the E38, personally. But then again, I did just spend 40 hours installing massaging seats in my E38.. feels great, but probably not something most people would bother doing.

    Out on bail.....lol. But NBT retrofit still not complete. I have all the parts and everything. The biggest challenge has been getting bezels/frames made for the screen and idrive controller. Been getting some expensive quotes from local shops. But got a reasonable quote from Fizz Autosports, here in Chicago. Drop off the parts to them earlier. Hopefully its all installed by next week.

    Anybody else make any progress or doing this retrofit?
