Hey it's not for everybody but I enjoy it so it works for me so take your wining elsewhere. Hey buying it new from Bmw is thousands more so 1700 is not bad for all the hardware and the help they gave to walk me through it. If people want to know more about it I'm their to help. Theirs a lot out their to wast money on and for me this worked and gave me what I wanted. It's a free country and I can blow my money on what I want and don't need a stupid response like that. And also for me I don't want Chinese products in the car if I can help it so the Avin was not an option. The e70 doesn't work well to adapt an aftermarket stereo and with this OEM unit I get a huge update to my navigation, HD radio, sat radio, sound effects that sound like the F15 x5, better all around hardware and wireless apple CarPlay and wireless android mirroring as well as other options. free lifetime updates, and also updates are coming to link to the phones internet for fully functioning net and traffic and weather, stocks and all that Jazz. All of my stock programming that my e70 system had, I retain with the evo system. I upgraded and retrofitted HUD, and have lift gate level control. Aftermarket stereos don't really work with the e70 and I know the AVIN unit is great for budget minded people but as you even stated theirs small issues that people have with theirs ranging from usability to i-drive dial controls not working and the volume issue you stated. Well I don't have those issues as mine operates like any oem Bmw unit because it is. Though in time the issues you speak of from the AVIN will probably be fixed if not already. So yes. In my opinion 1700 is not bad given the quality of the larger 10" screen and new options and excellent customer service Incase theirs an issue. And the fact that I have 100% factory controls like the touch controls and I drive wheel that work effortlessly. You can go OEM touch screen if you want as well but I hate marks all over the screen. It just feels like quality oem system should. With CarPlay I press my steering wheel voice button Siri responds and does what I ask. It's a very well thought out upgrade. The other options that are cheaper and offer different options and functionality are fine if that floats your boat but I'm not going to piss all over it because I didn't go that route. Thank god we have options both cheap and premium or just plain expensive because if we didn't man that would be boring! As you said To each Their own. |
