I did this today,

Took me longer than expected, the location of the TV module is a bit awkward to say the least.

If you have never done it before, trust me you do not want to change the battery on a BMW E53.

Job done.

- Could one be fitted to an F10 that has Pro Nav also installed (perhaps they use the same screen)

Good job and other stuff you've posted
