Why is BMW Making Upgrades So Difficult?

Profit? I'm pretty new to this forum, but this is my 5th BMW. Currently looking to figure out upgrades to a 2009 X5. My base model came with small screen, no nav, no backup camera, etc. Even radio could use some improvement. I get the idea of that BMW did this intentionally, but this seems so silly not to engineer the system so they can be tweaked a little. I see some readers have upgraded to new CIC system from the CCC, but that really is an expensive solution. I will wait for new design model to come out and will likely trade. But until then, I hope more coding takes place and more vendors meet the demand of folks that want to add some new features to the CPO vehicles that are very common with most other manufactures. For those that have explored coding and new Nav systems, keep posting. I enjoy reading the posts and feel like your thumbing your nose at BMW for all of us frustrated owners out there. Anyone else agree?
