Ipod Video - Video Source Module & DVD Player
Has anyone installed one of these EAS Video Source Module and DVD Player combo?

Any feedback on installation, video and audio quality? Worthy upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry no feedback, however I am interested now that you found this. I'm iPOD IceLink Plus setup in my M5 and only missing a TV/video solution.

It's just like any other aux input for BMW's w/ nav screens, it just doesnt have TV tuner built into it.

I understand. I am just asking for feedback on how the video quality is and if members here feel this is a worthy upgrade.

I too have the Icelink already and quite happy with it.

the 16:9 monitor's resolution will be the weak point in this equation. IIRC, it cannot handle even VHS levels of resolution.
