A month ago, I decided to go with the INAV system that has a pop up screen (first photo), which is essentially an android device that leverages AUX input to toggle back and forth. I liked it, but it just didn't feel the same as my wife's X5. It's a great option but wanted something a little more and OEM. I did some research and went with an ebay retailer navi and bmw parts who could code the NBT EVO to my VIN as well as manufacturer a touchscreen from another vehicle but modified to fit the F10. Installed last night, fired right up and works perfectly. I was expecting some coding needed post install but all worked out - switched the Sirius over to the new unit in 10 min and good to go. Here are some pics of the install - took about 3 hours all in making sure I connected the right wires including the fiber optic cables and taking my time. Don't worry - I disconnected the negative terminal before I started taking things apart. Towards the end, I reconnected it before screwing everything to make sure things were working properly.
