just showing off here,, I was pretty disappointed with the stock navigation on my 525i when I bought it (dont know why I expected better from a 2004 model) and since it also didnt have the Bluetooth module installed I was interested in upgrading, it wasnt until after I got a fine for using my phone (google maps) whilst operating a vehicle I hunted around for upgrade options then ended up buying and installing this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BMW-E60-...AAAOSwItJacsg7
Works really well, not feeling like I'm driving and outdated car anymore and dont have to keep 100 cd's with me for a variety of music and finally I have a functional bluetooth I recommend one to anyone wanting to upgrade, I didnt know they were available until recently and almost spent a few hundred just one a bmw bluetooth module.

I wish the drivers in the US were fined for using their phone while driving.
You mean its not illegal there? police actively fine people just touching their phone whilst behind the wheel, even if you are stationary at a set of lights. seen some idiots swerving over the road only to find them on their phone (myself included sometimes), its seriously dangerous I'm not even against it being illegal.
Thanks for posting this reegz.
I am looking into this also. Have you had any bugs to workout? Have all previous functions continued to work correctly?Did you opt for AppleCarPlay? or DVD?
BTW In New York State they will absolutely fine you just for having your phone in your hand.
