 BMW Touchscreen
I'm thinking of putting in my bmw an 7" touchscreen in order to operate a carputer, that will have multiple functions (GPS, Cellphone, MP3 player, Parking camera). the problem is that the center console of the car doesn´t have a spot for the touchscreen.
Anyone has suggestions how to modify the center console in order to install the touchscreen?

If u do not mind some heavy rewire work, u can buy the GPS screen that fits as part of the center speaker. u can wire just about anything into that (GPS, DVD, Game Console,...)

I think so you should go with TV free because it is easy to operate as well as it is faster and can be accessed directly.

The center console comes in two variants:On cars with a manual gearbox the console is split into two sections,the black surface surrounding the gearshift lever and the buttons on the optional Driving Dynamics Control oriented towards the driver.A key holder has been placed between the gearshift lever and the climate controls.
On models with automatic transmission,the space between the electronic gear selector lever and the climate control unit offers enough room for two cupholders and a key holder.A further storage compartment is located behind the iDrive Controller (where there is another cupholder on models with a manual gearbox).

I bought a head unit for my E39 have multiple functions (GPS, Cellphone, MP3 player, Parking camera) from oemcargps.com, it works perfect so far. You can go and have a look, I think you can find what you need.
