Of course we have always ensured that you get the right kit for your cars and helped our customers get the best deals possible on any OEM or third-party kit for their project. But as we all know even with using Second hand used BMW parts to retrofit a navigation system. You really are looking at the best part of £1000.00 plus a whole lot of fitting and coding.
Being the first Company in the UK to sucessfully integrate a PC into our Demo car E38 that was controlled via all OEM controls. It got us thinking, why can't we have a headunit that fully replaces any BMW headunit, and give you all the extra features without loosing and OEM functions.
The results are jaw dropping! Put simply buy the germans this is true "Preis leistungsverh�ltnis"
Meaning it offers
great price quality and performance ratio!!!
There are currently two versions of the headunit available to match the current OEM headunit versions. meaning your installation will have the look and feel of any BMW headunit Headunit Repacement Specification

BMW Navigation Demo Video
Due to the Mountains of emails I've put together the following video to show off the Nav that comes preloaded with the headunit (can easily updated for newer versions). As you can see it is a vast improvement on our current OEM mk3/4 units! It is touch screen controllable too! I don't know about you but spinning the control knob to type in streets on the OEM unit was getting a bit tedious

A. We sell adaptors for the OEM mini aerial connectors�to aftermarket aerials for use with OEM Aerials on Navi Equipped cars. �
Q. 'keeping functions that would normally be lost on an aftermarket head unit swap' - as already mentioned, what 'exactly' does that mean? the current owners of the 16:9 Satnav setup have various computer functions accessed through that system - does what TV in Motion say mean that those 'functions will not be lost'?
A. 'keeping functions does mean not loosing functions. Such as OBC functions. this has been possible for about years on CarPC based integrated navi systems.
Q. The general consensus is that they do NOT have full OBC connectivity and nor do they support the things like consmptn and date time and stopwatch settings etc on the OEM systems?
A.There will be a mass on slaught of "similar"�Chinese units with varying quality and functionality�popping up�everywhere. Caveat emptor (buyer beware)�OUR SYSTEM HAS FULL OBC CONNECTIVITY!!!!
Q. TV in Motion are simply acting as re-sellers at this stage - they don't have the after care or service levels in case of faults or warranty claims?
A. In the UK you have a full 1year warranty with the company you buy from not the manufacturer. Imagine you went to Currys a Samsung re-seller with your 50" Samsung Plasma under warranty and you were given no service, it's the UK not the wild west.�
We have been fixing OEM modules and Navi's for our local BMW dealers for years in house, We have also been fixing electronic sound and lighting equipment in house for over 30years now.�
Q. Although a 12 month warranty is provided by Tv In Motion, any issues arising would take ages to resolve as they'd simply send the unit back to the manufacturer and await their decision etc. That could potentially mean months with no head unit and then being asked to stump up any repair costs etc?
A. Warranty issues are dealt with straigh away by us. You do not have to "Stump up" for warranty repairs. The Joys of an in house Repair Department
Q. Is this a Hualingan / Dynavin / D3 MMI BMW headunit?
