JJ when you go NBT I will be following your thread closely. This is the route that I would like to go once that day arrives and since your in Texas I feel that at least I have a resident expert in the vicinity in the event I run into problems.

I also agree with four.8is, customer service on the ebay android head units is usually very lacking. I had great CS with the Avin Avant but I paid $650 for all of that gear from the US.

This is something I have been considering too. While I love my E53, I believe the head unit is the one feature that is lacking. Mine is the full screen version and I've updated the mapping disc, however it lacks so many features that 'modern' units have, I'm tempted to undertake the upgrade albeit something I don't have time to do...
There seems to be a few options out there, for the cheap Chinese android units - some claim they're suited to the E53, yet using their compatibility chart reveals it's not so. Before biting the bullet, I need to know if this is going to work or not and which one to go for. There is the tablet type: 9" BMW X5 E39 Android 6.0 9" Car Video GPS Stereo Player Head Unit 5 SERIES E53 | eBay And the smaller screen type with control buttons on each side: 7" Win CE BMW X5 E53 Car DVD GPS Stereo Player Head Unit DAB+ Radio Camera BT M | eBay So.... which one to go for? I already have a rear view camera and wonder if the wiring to it can be used...and what will become of the dvd mapping unit...redundant no doubt...and what about the microphone that's already there (in the rear view mirror I think)? So many questions I know - for those of you who have already gone down this path, I would be in your debt if you could give me some pointers. TIA.

2001 E53 X5 CD Player
Can someone tell me what the small connector on the back of the CD Player is? I know the big coax connection is the antenna, what's the other connection? I have no DSP, no NAV. Thx, Alan.

Appears the new 9" versions are out with 2GB of RAM.
9€ BMW ANDROID 6.0 E39 E53 X5 SERIE 5 OCTA-CORE 2GB RADIO GPS WIFI DAB USB 3G SD | eBay I am still on fence on whether I want the OEM look of the smaller screen w/buttons or this flatter tablet style which appears to offer a friendlier angle. Not concerned with rounding off the bottom corners myself.

Had one of these in a previous car. The plug and play is nice plus the OEM fitted look.
My X5 though I went with a Pioneer NEX4100 with Android Auto and CarPlay. I prefer this actually more than the other unit Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
