BMW E38 Installation Photos
First step is to remove the Cover for the rear compartment.

Next step is to remove the two plastic screws on the right and the
Navigation computer

You can purchase a special BMW tool that must be used to remove the
Navigation
computer. I made mine out of a coat hanger cut in four pieces

The idea with the tool or the coat hanger is to push in just far enough
to unlock the spring loaded catch

Close up of what you are doing with the coat hanger. You only
need to push in far enough to unlock the catch.

Remove the plastic trim ring around the navigation computer bracket

Once the navigation drive has been removed, gently remove the whole
trim piece.

On
the 7 series the TV tuner attaches to these two
mounts and then I used a nut and bolt for the top hole (no picture, but
it is obvious)

If using the Bimmernav
wiring harness.
To complete the install you will need to remove the blue connector from
the back your navigation computer, connect this plug to the
harness.

Next, take the Blue connector on
the NEW wiring harness and plug it
into the Car’s navigation computer.

On the other end of the
television harness connect white connector into the white of
the TV
video module and the blue plug into the blue plug of the Television
module.

Once
you turn your car back on Television will be shown on your screen
