[QUOTE="affan66, post: 480158, member: 65"] i have done the above as per thule's post. 1. Radio mod - however the mod for newer i-Drive (gray coloured screen instead of orange) will give you full range of radio freq but you cannot save the stations (YET!!!) 2. Multimedia interface - I added an OEM-look boot button reverse camera and aux cable from the glovebox (instead of using the aux in from behind the centre armrest) 3. Unlock TV/Video - allows tv / video watching on the move So, the above gives me full msian radio, movie (full screen) watching from my iPod (using iPod Composite AV cable) and TV watching all the time. Great to watch the Msia-Indo football match while driving. What I don't get? Navigation. Not a big concern because my outboard garmin does the job pretty well, running on MFM maps.. However, being Japan spec, the TV is SECAM based, (I believe) so don't expect clear TV from the i-Drive screen. Some pictures in attachment to give you an idea of what I'm talking about and an indirect racun. Price wise, as Thule wrote. So far, I heard only two guys can do this in Malaysia and the price is pretty much fixed [/QUOTE]
