I don't think it'll work in an R56. Looks like a nice unit. So you plug usb into the back and either dock or headphone into iPod? I assume you can hide the iPod in the glovebox right?

link to adapter?

Has anyone installed the IDA-x001 with the OEM NAV system? Let me know what I am in for, if possible or if you can provide any guidance.

Hate to sound too simple, but what adapter do I need to get before I start this and where?

Cup holder is still there. Just out of the picture. It's set low.

IMHO it looks best in red at night during it almost has pink/purple look to the buttons. Because the buttons have a blue shade to tem and with the red light it shows during the day in sunlight, but once the sun goes down the red looks real good. The Video screen on it is real clear. there is three displays you can have on the screen, 1) is having Album art with song detail, artist and album detail 2) is just Album Art 3) cool looking clock

Wow, that's the best-looking aftermarket solution yet, at least from what i've seen. I already have the Dension iPod kit and the MFSW BT interface for EVO Handsfree, so I'm all configured, but this is nice to know about for the future...

Ok, looks pretty good.. but, can you put in a red background for the display?!

Other things I want to know:
Does it have a cross over for the sub out? Is the sub out just full rang?
What are the frequencies for the bass & treble (and are they shelving?)

Thanks
