if you set the alarm to netherlands setting it will 1) throw errorcodes due to a missing IMS and 2) not work with the panic button anymore...that is NOT the way to go and def not a "discovery".

I was gonna go with a factory command but after seeing that set up I'm going with it. Can you point me in the right direction for the din kit?

Thank you, as for the difference im not quite sure, from a quick look it appears to be just updated, most if not all features appear to be there. I love it personally, i have never had a nav unit before, works really well. My install im not 100% happy, it's adequate, just not up to my standards.

I need to do something too......the front with oems don't look that great. While I've done other mods over the years, I prefer a shop to do the lights.

In respnse to your PM, PM MBenzNL in this post. He can sell you the bi-xenons and if your lucky have him install them on one of his road trips out here to the states. Not sure where your at or if he even hits your town but ask him. It is a pretty straight forward install if your the mechanical type. If your going from xenon to bi-x its truely plug-N'play. If you go from halogen to bi-x you need some programing done.....hope this helps....
