Original BMW GPS on a 523i F10
Hi Folks,
First off, I am a newbie to this forum so please guide me along I've just gotten my F10 but it doesn't come with a GPS. I tried to call my local BMW dealer but they told me that the retrofit kit for this model is not available yet. Any of you folks have a similar problem / reply from your local dealers? Cheers. |

Not sure if retrofit OE GPS is possible. Aftermarket GPS is possible but not sure if they are available yet.
Not many here have the GPS, too expansive and have to upgrade the data base at the dealer every now and then and they charge you.

They are already doing the retrofitting of the GPS into the I-drive here in Singapore, the company doing it is excellent and they can even make it touch screen!!
Costs around SGD$1800 or HKD$11000 for this. |

The touch screen feature had it for the E60 before. Not for the F10 yet in HK.

I personally have not installed the aftermarket GPS, Singapore is pretty small and easy to navigate. For those instances where I really need the GPS..I rely on my trusted portable Garmin GPS.
According to the guy who installs the aftermarket GPS on the F10 here in Singapore, a few F10 owners have already done but not sure if they are on this forum. |

Personally I don't need the GPS. HK is tiny and I know most of the routes already. I use my iphone google map for any places which I am not familiar with and found it very useful already.
