Double Din Nav Install Vancouver, BC

Hello, first post here... I sold my Audi A4 and might be going to the darkside with a BMW 335i coupe. Problem is I want navigation and people charge an arm and a leg for it.

I was wondering, who can install this in Vancouver?

http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/p130...duct_info.html

I have contacted futureshop and they flat out said that it cannot be done due to fiber optics ....

Anyone with insight or someone in my, please let me know ...

Thanks!

I wouldnt recommend that.
Even though you install this, the screen is too low to see while driving.
I would get portable nav
But, if you don't want something hanging on your windshield, get CIC retrofit.

Do your steering wheel controls still work?...Like can you turn the volume up/down and change songs/stations using the buttons on the steering wheel?

if you are not disabled and have a screw driver you can install the CIC retrofit yourself with less than 30mins.
