yeah and its a complete pain in the arse...A series 3 does not have a disk player for the nav. It’s built into the software of the car.
yeah and its a complete pain in the arse...
and yet when I look into it nobody anywhere seems to have the full info or where and how you get it done, yes i have looked but info even on this forum seems scetchy at best, and its best part of £1000!! not cheap... even if i could find out where and how to get it done...But the Series 3 E51 CAN be converted to English. It's not cheap, but means you don't have to replace any hardware! I think the going rate at the moment is around the £1000 mark.
But for that money, you get a completely stock system that works. Great for those who don't want their car to look like an aftermarket car parts bin. lol

E51 2008 series 3 and I cant find it lol
yeah I sort of gathered that, hard drive I presume, we discuss above... but its annoying in one sense, hopeful in the next, but like I mention to Karl who the hell know how to sort it out! apart from anecdotal evidence to suggest that some Russian firm can convert it all for £1000 hardy a ringing endorsement for getting the job sorted.....I don't believe there is a disk on S3 mate.
I have this conversion bought for our project S3 Elgrand I just need time to fit it. I even have English buttons to fit.and yet when I look into it nobody anywhere seems to have the full info or where and how you get it done, yes i have looked but info even on this forum seems scetchy at best, and its best part of £1000!! not cheap... even if i could find out where and how to get it done...
So where, when,how, from who and how much lolI have this conversion bought for our project S3 Elgrand I just need time to fit it. I even have English buttons to fit.
video can be seen here on this unit working this is from the company on eBay. I bought it off of eBay for a bit less still paid through PayPal. I believe the only thing that won’t work is the mpg I think it’s been ages since I spoke to them.So where, when,how, from who and how much lol
or more importantly see it working on one of the members Elgrands... I imagine if its done right (sales and marketing and cost effective) then there could possible be a decent market for having the conversion done... but if thats the case why are firms and there are a few on here buying the kit/conversion and offering the service? To me it just doesn't add up yet...! oh how I wish it did...I think there are a few of us with series 3 who are waiting to see what happens when teamcowie installs his.
I agree that the information is a little vague. When you look at the e bay link for it it doesn’t really say what won’t work when it’s done.
I also haven’t seen anyone else that’s bought one

there is absolutely no doubt thats the solution I want, but until someone actually offers it for sale and fitting then I dont see how its viable yet?video can be seen here on this unit working this is from the company on eBay.
