The progress so far.... yes were 99% there!!!

We know that everyone is excited about this product and can't wait to get them fitted. All we can say is we are sorry about the delay but being BMW enthusiasts our selves we want this product to be 110% perfect and to the level of quality we all want.

We have been getting flooded with emails, and although we have been answering as many as humanly possible. It has come to our attention that due to the amount of emails with similar subjects and body text. Our Mail server was putting alot of emails into a spam folder. Don't worry we have found you and added you to the mailing list!

On a side note this mailing list is purely for the BMW headunit. It will be deleted as soon as the unit is launched so don't worry about being constantly spammed. Also you can unsubscribe at the bottom.

So what have we been up to I hear you ask? Well thanks to feed back from the few customers who got prototypes to play with, we have been able to make some tweaks to make the unit even better!

Faster 3D Navigation

We have upgraded the units chipset to allow for smoother running of 3D navigation. If you thought prospective mode was cool on the Mk4 you'll love 3D!!

Digital TV for all

Because 95% of people requesting these units wanted them with TV built in we have integrated it as standard to make the install even easier!

Other news you might find interesting...

OEM AERIAL INTEGRATION

For people with OEM Navigation and analogue TV who want to use the existing car aerials rather than the ones supplied in our kit we have a new piece of kit that will be launched with the unit to allow you to connect any aftermarket kit with the existing OEM BMW system

Reversing Camera's

We have brought out a new range of BMW replacement reversing camera's with high quality picture output. These unit's are the perfect accessory for your headunit installation. We now have a range from £99.99 to £2000.00 ( for those of you that want that real James bond Night vision)

The quick Faq's section

Here we will run through some of the most common question's emailed into us.

Does the unit come with an external microphone?
 The headunit it's self has a built in microphone, with great pickup.

Does the unit enable digital radio as well as TV?
The unit will give you digital radio as well.

Does the 12 month warranty cover parts as well as labour?
The unit comes with a 12 month warranty that covers parts and labour for fixing it.

Where does the SD card plug in to the unit for the Sat nav (i.e. is it accessible for updating the software)?
The SD slot is on the front so you can easily take it in and out the car to update.

What, if any, other cables or connectors will I need from you for my car and what do they cost?
We supply you with the aerial cables for the TV and GPS. For people wanting to plug in their iPod they can use their normal iPod lead. we would advise getting a spare at Asda of all places, we got some extra long ones for under £10.00

Out of interest, is it an option to use Garmin nav software instead?
As you can imagine anything is possible with some time and effort, at the moment we just want to get a perfectly working unit out, before the mod's begin, and yes there is talks about the possibility of TOMTOM. But lets not slow the launch down. These things can be looked into at a later date and we can all upgrade.

I am interested in your reversing camera (one that also works at night), so would appreciate a complete cost with cabling etc please?
We have reversing camera's from £99.99 night vision ones of a 'Decent quality' from £149.99. Real FLIR night vision for those who want to join the police interceptors on TV it's £2000.00

I assume that the reverse camera shows on screen automatically when reverse gear is engaged?
Yes. The headunit has the automatic reversing camera function

Do you currently have these units in stock and, if not, what is the lead time?
Now that we are happy with the Hardware, the units are being manufactured to our new specification. As we type the first batch should be getting sealed up and shipped to us. Any further upgrades are going to be software so we will upgrade the units with any improvements in house. Any future improvements upgrade firmware will be listed on our site.
