    Facelict or prefacelift

    Presuming facelift

    You need
    loom
    16:9 monitor + frame
    Bm54 radio module
    Mk iv nav
    Module brackets/holders


    Id seriously consider the unit I bought the bm54 and mk iv nav are worth the price of the unit I picked up and you get a lot more functions with oem looks

    i like your unit and it has lots of features the oem dosent,i can get the 16.9 oem screen and the drive for 100 euro.depending on the price of the loom and other bits it seems a better bet for me.we will see what happens,easier for me to buy bits the odd time than hand over 400 in one go.

    Sound and completely understandable

    For the loom id recommend ebay.de or you could try that guy in Fermanagh that breaks the m5's

    Make sure you get the correct loom it will really make life easy

    From memory looms is around 80-100e

    And radio module is
    Bm54 (facelift) 250-300 minimum
    Bm24 (pre facelift) 100-150

    If the sat nav drive he has is below mk3 its really only fit for the bin

    I bought all the modules loom mk4 nav bluetooth module 16:9 screen tv tuner brackets but the loom was wrong it wrecked my head I sold the lot and made a nice profit but with the correct loom its pretty straight forward

    I have pdf install guides on the laptoo too in case you need them any questions feel free to pm me

    Its really just a matter of taking out the rear seats boot carpet and lower dash then rooting the loom from the boot to the dash
