Re: Transmission sluggish selecting first at roundabouts/junctions

I get this in mine. If I need to move faster than normal it does nothing.  I can shout come on at the car three or four times before it lurches off down the road. Making it look like I've left it too late to pull out. It does seem a bit better in sport. Basically I try and plan a bit better now. It'...

Re: 3.0d breather filter

I just changed mine today to the vortex type. 2004 facelift. The old one was like a stone and totally useless. The car runs much happier now it can actually breath. Smoke seems to be better too.

Re: BMW Headrests with built in screens - £££?

Ok so. The cables poke out in the corner of the seat. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/17/use7usuz.jpg they hide pretty well on the black seat and very rarely do people look at that part of the seat aswel so for me it's quite acceptable. They're also cable tied under the seat leaving enough slack for...

Re: BMW Headrests with built in screens - £££?

You can get the headrests to play on the front monitor by plugging into the input on the rear console though. The sound is only in mono though and it's a bit poo. Plus you need tv In motion to watch on the move obviously. I don't have that either yet. I'm not going to go nuts with the install as it ...

Re: BMW Headrests with built in screens - £££?

Nope. Not on the rear screens I'm afraid. Saying that though I can't watch it in front either as I have the analogue tuner lol. The cables tuck under the seat with a few zip ties and through a dent in the carpet to the centre tunnel. I'll get some pics. I got my - from the cig lighter with a piggy b...

Re: BMW Headrests with built in screens - £££?

I will get some better pics as soon as I can for you. The backs come off really easy  On the underside of the plastic back down in the footwell are 2 screw in style fasteners. Undo the screws and pull out the rest of the fastener by hand. It then pulls very lightly T the bottom and slides. I can't r...

Re: BMW Headrests with built in screens - £££?

You can see the difference between the standard headrest and the dvd one in the pic. They sit pretty well in the cabin.

I have the earlier version of the ones in the link and they work perfectly ok for the kids in the back. And easy to install. The rear lighter socket in my e53 d. Stayed live permanently though so found a cable in the centre tunnel instead. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/11/va5ase3e.jpg http://img.t...

Re: E53 Bluetooth Connectivity

No idea I'm afraid. Mines still not playing nicely. Kind of given up now.
It's frustrating to say the least. Maybe you should try pairing through a PC.
