Professional installation highly recommended and worth it, sounds better than the premium with more flexibility, and now I have navi without the BMW's clumsy Idrive.
I assume that you're talking about installing something like the JL Audio or Pioneer AXM-P90RS that takes the BMW head unit signal, allows you to re-equalize it with pre-outs for digital amps, etc.?

I think the biggest thing people fight is getting a new headend unit that doesn't look poor and doesn't give up the functionality of the built in systems. But I really would like to see how the new headend fits! Please provide pics of it and the installation if possible.
