Thanks guys, the rail delete is one of my favorite mods I've done by far.

It's a killer man, looks great! Just needs a tint in the front to match the rear.

Unfortunately had to remove it due to the police harassing me over and over. I do want to get it done again, since I think I'm moving it, it shouldn't be a problem!

Added some gloss black dual slat grilles. Not sure on the gloss, but will run it for awhile and maybe matte them sooner or later.

Another toy arrived...

No, I didn't because I just plan to use it with the stock system. Using it more or less for the monitor and looks. Hoping to update the look of the interior.

I bought it used from a guy on here who upgraded his to the 8.1... I don't see anything extra with it, just the harness and screen itself. I meant to get it installed today, but my wife had other plans for me apparently so hoping for tomorrow. I'll post some pics during the install

Ok sounds good bud, looking forward to your install, pics and feedback. Thanks.

So I followed the 4x4 Canada video and went through the steps. I pulled a bit too hard on the radio front, (where the cds go in) and broke a tab, but nothing you notice. It's held in by the surround as well, so it might have been already broken as well. It took me about an hour to install start to finish and testing. I took my time and replayed parts of the video a bunch. I absolutely love it and how it turned out. Fits perfect, not good, it fits perfect and looks great. Really changes the interior. The hardest part of the whole install is getting the wiring tucked behind the radio. If you don't have one of these, whether you want to use the Android or not like me, it really is worth it. It's well made and feels like a factory part.

RDR142 · 03-29-2019, 07:47 AM

you've been busy. car is looking great. love the upgrades and updates

Looks perfect. Im going to get one too. How do you bypass the Android? Does it give you an option? Do your factory USB in the glovebox and armrest aux usb etc still work?

I'll test that today, but I didn't route any of that through the Avin screen, so it should. I'll report back!

As far as bypassing it, I only clicked one time on the touchscreen and scrolled through the menu. There is a box to open "original car" and clicked on that. When I start the car, it just goes right to my stock screen, no issues.

Excellent. Sounds good, thank you for the feedback. I might just got for the new anti glare screen units from canada 4x4 or Avin if they release it.

quick · 03-29-2019, 09:50 AM

Looks great but personally I like the factory unit which seems more integrated with the dash. This screen was one of the main reason I didn't consider the later model X5M...

None the less, unit looks great in your 5 though

IN-FLT · 03-30-2019, 02:22 AM

Nice .. also curious on feedback for glare during the day? Any issues?

Here's the thing about that... I might just be very simple or something, but I kind of have it on the radio and just use the steering wheel controls for changing the station. I haven't noticed any issues because it sits back a ways from the windshield and I don't keep the moon roof open. I really haven't noticed much of an issue. If I do though, I'll pick up a pack of the anti glare protectors for the screen. Loving this so far!

Did you lose the NAV button? Mine takes me to the android screen.

I'll have to try it, I don't use the nav in the car, I just use my phone for some reason, but I'll report back if that happens...
