WOW, this looks like just what I've been looking for.
Anyone know if this would plug and play with my Bose system...probably not, huh?
So, it sounds like the steering wheel controls and bluetooth are built in (and included)? But, will need to purchase the SD card for the GPS. Does this sound right?
Yes, post pix please.

You are correct d1no. cargpsnavi.com is a SCAM SITE. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM cargpsnavi.com
The phone number listed is phony.
The irony is that the site is hosted in Provo, Utah.
I did another search and found that some bimmer owners have already been scammed.

And the scary thing is if you do a google search using this link the scammer has been extremely active on many many forums, using virtually the same wording.
The scam website is getting about 2500 hits per month.

Sorry for the delay fellas....here are some pics of the Dynavin Unit installed
Here's what the iPod control looks like with my iPod connected
Here's with the navigation on....there's other views you can set like 3D or 2D, etc.
Here's a screenshot of the Bluetooth. Very simple to sync your iPhone to and has a mini mic for you to talk thru, allows for handsfree talking thru your speakers. Sound quality was surprising very good, better than some bluetooth earpieces.

Philly, how does it perform? Is it snappy? Any regrets? WinCE5.0 is a major bonus for application support.

No regrets whatsoever. You can also add the 3G modem and have Wifi internet connection from the unit. Best unit on the market for the price and best of all, it's looks OEM which was what I wanted. I've had the Kenwood and Pioneer double din before, but I'd rank this higher.

Here's a link that provides a review of the Dynavin unit, it's based on a unit for the bmw's which has the same functions and features as the W203 unit.

Philly did you install yourself?
Or did you take it to a professional mechanic? Was wondering if this is something I could do myself or would I need to take it somewhere to get installed. Any drilling, splicing, soldering, etc? It would be great if there are any installation instructions in PDF or otherwise so that I could take a look at how easy it is to install.
Thanks for a the great post and pictures I am salivating now.

Here is the manual link. This manual is for the A series, but the functions are identical - just a slightly different faceplate.

I spoke with Trent from CarAudioCraze and he's very open and willing to do a group buy but haven't told me any specifics as far as discounts based on the number of buyers. Whoever is interested can start up a Group Buy list and I'll forward it to Trent.

Thanks but I am still stuck on how to take the panel out
Is there a simple way to take the current module out? I just went to the car and tried to remove it. Does not move at all. Where are the screws, if any? Any help would be appreciated.
