Always missed having Sat Nav and extended BT in the car and this thread looks do-able. Thing is, I just had the s*** news my cars head unit is dead - quoted £1200+VAT to get part, fitted and coded (only done 27k miles!)
Do you know if I was to follow this guide - replacing the parts the way you have - that it might also replace the faulty head unit so I can get it done cheaper than quoted?
I know it might be a long shot, but looking for a good outcome from a bad situation!!

I'm having difficulty working out which one I need. I'm after 1 with DAB and so I can use EBT (I don't have a separate combox). Is there anything else I need to look out for apart from the other parts you mentioned above? Also would this work with my existing iDrive controller (which doesn't have a Nav button)?
Much appreciated! I do have DAB so I will look out for any of those part numbers on the link you provided then I should hopefully be able to code nav and EBT!
Is eBay my best bet for the new HU. I see you paid around £150 so I take it this is the ballpark figure...
You're a legend! So realistically I could get nav and EBT working for around £200 or less with all the parts?
So I also need just the GPS antenna and NBT/nav emulator?
Would my exisiting iDrive controller (without the nav button) work or do I need a new one?
Also, does the emulator affect any of the existing setup? ie. would I lose my service history saved on iDrive?
No new controller needed the old one works fine.with the emulator mine was showing the donor car service history but It came back when I serviced it at Bmw.other than that the emulator took ages to come I think about 1 month.

Ok mate, cheers.My service is due very soon so might get this all installed first. I'm wondering whether there is a way to code the emulator to show the correct settings maybe?

No worries if you want the I drive controller they are not all canbus2.in mine part number 9267955 was plug and play.
