DennisCooper Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi, Your question is a bit vague. Do you want a standalone SatNav device from the likes of TomTom, Garmin, Mio, Snooper? Or do you want a head unit for your car which has SatNav as a feature? If you want a standalone, then those brands make solutions. If you want a head unit, you can either go for one of the cheap chinese replacement units or you can go for a premium, recognised brand. If you want a cheap chinese unit, take your pick and hope that you get a good working unit longer term. There's lots and lots of threads on this and all the other BMW forums about them, you may find you need to change/update and fiddle with software settings, firmware updates etc to get a better and more stable unit. My recommendation would be for a premium brand solution. With these, you get a much higher quality product, more consistently reliable and functional along with full aftersales care and support and warranty from a reputable UK based specialist dealer in case you need it. Cheers, Dennis! pvb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
