![]() ![]() Other than that, the nav system is waaay more capable than the RNS-E. I also modded the speech library to say "northbound" or "southbound" for things like "turn left onto I-15 SB." It originally would just say "SB." That's just me being picky though. Navigation (the unit comes with iGo Primo loaded on a MicroSD, works great! The version they send doesn't have any voices that read out the street names, so I modded the software to do that. No album art, but the track info and skip buttons work, such happiness) You can search, list by artist, song, album, playlist, etc - full functionality) iPod (forgot to show this in the video, but it works great and displays album art as well. You can also set the MFSW left thumb wheel click to activate Siri or Google Now, so voice activation works great) Bluetooth phone (not much to explain here, it works. Radio (reception is definitely better than the RNS-E but still not totally amazing, make sure you select phantom power in the radio settings - the little cog on the bottom of the radio screen) ![]() Now here's a video of the magic and a few notes on the video sequence: Also, a shot of the reverse camera I used (I know it's no longer available at that link, but you can find the same one all over the internet - I paid $15 for that camera and it actually produces some great video and does nicely in the dark).

I wasn't happy with any available option to get bluetooth streaming on the RNS-E, so I started to look elsewhere.Īfter shooting some emails back and forth with Jeff at J&T Distributing and browsing some BMW forums (Dynavin is much more popular with them), I decided to pull the trigger.
