So, if you had a long enough cable, you could place the box in the glove compartment and the screen in the dash compartment. However, I think you might have enough room in the dash where the iDrive normally goes. So, you could save the glove compartment.
Whenever you wanted audio for the joying, you would just switch the radio to AUX. The screen is pretty thin and will fit in the dash compartment. I cannot detach it to show you, but I am pretty sure it will fit nicely. I have it mounted flush against the dash (given the rolled feature above the radio slot). Here is a photo from the side, if that helps.

Exactly you got my point.... I have purchased the unit and the extra 1m cable..... Keep you updated with my findings, issues, etc
thanks for the pics.... Would you think the 11x4.7 inch screen will look nice in the dashboard resting in the compartment door? Your opinion is really welcome
Thanks
