[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8709065, member: 679555"] I would exhaust your options on reversible head unit installation kits for the BMW first. Most cars it can be done in a completely reversible and full-featured fashion, but of course some can't like my Accord where the backup camera will be shitty without permanent modifications. From there I would explore the least gimmicky looking solutions first, probably starting with an embedded portable head unit with a mobile display. This would be running independent of your factory unit, but at the same time so you still had original functionality except music. You could mount the screen to your dash and use adapters to splice the ignition, and battery wires all behind the scenes and reversible, then run RCAs to the amplifier for clean input. The downsides with most of this including all of your ideas is that you'd either have to splice in your door chimes and other sound functionality that uses the speakers or go without. [/QUOTE]
