More and more BMW X5 E53 owners prefer to upgrading the factory car stereo with an aftermarket one which has DVD player and GPS navigation system built-in,such as Pumpkin Android BMW navigation dvd,wince 6.0 BMW navigation car dvd. And some of these people would like to install the new replacement by themselves, but there may be some problems during installation if you have never installed an aftermarket car gps dvd palyer before. We write this post to introduce you some tips on installation of Pumpkin android 5.1 BMW Car Navigation GPS DVD Player.

If your BMW X5 e53 just comes with factory car radio and CD player in dash, there’s a plastic cage inside of the dashboard as you can see after you take out the factory radio and CD, if you don’t remove this cage, you may think it does not fit into the opening of the original entry, the new BMW navigation dvd unit can not be pushed entirely into the dashboard, see pics below:

Don’t worry, there are two methods which can allow you to push the new BMW X5 navigation car dvd into the dashboard fully. Some installers just cut the plastic cage, and others remove it.

In order to remove the plastic cage, firstly take off the 4 screws that hold the cage in place, 2 on the right side, and 2 on the left side (same as right side). The following pictures are for your reference:

You need to pull down and slightly left the dash part which is close to the steering wheel. When you are doing this, use your other hand to push down in the middle of the opening where the cage is, and as you opened/pulled the dash/trim this far, you are able to hold it with one hand in this position and start wiggling the cage with your other hand. When are doing this, some force is necessary, but not too much. Once you start playing with it, you will get the jest on how to pull out the hooks, then as you have the left hook out, you now pull to a side and down on the right side (glove compartment side) to clear the other hook.

Once you removed the plastic cage, you are able to push into the new unit into the dash fully. And you will need to use the included iron frame support to fix the new unit to the dash, you may check the following photo as referrence.

If your BMW X5 E53 comes with factory navigation system, there’s a large screen in the dash, the 17pins(before year 2002) or 40pins(after year 2002) plug is not at the back of your factory radio, it’s located under the trunk, so you need to use a 5m long power cable with 17pins or 40pins plug to connect the correct plug under the trunk.

Now the question is not why they cause risks to our lives, but what we can do to avoid car tragedy happening on us.

Choose the right Car DVD player Types according to your needs and buying capacity. 
There are mainly four car DVD/monitors on the markets now – In-dash DVDs(in-car DVDs), Sun Visor DVDs, Roof mount DVDs(flip down DVDs) and Head rest Monitors(back seat monitors). In-dash DVDs that to be installed into car dashboard are driver’s good friends by providing GPS navigation, car reverse safety camera and surround sound entertainment. Sun visor DVDs are designed to entertain front seat passenger while they can also block some direct sunlight when you are heading toward the sun. Roof mount DVDs are now the most popular car entertainments devices as they can keep the whole atmosphere delightful. With advanced features like horizontal turning screen, IR remote control and hi-fi surround sound, they are going to become a must-have to modern cars. Head rest monitors can work together with in-dash DVD players to keep the back seat passengers entertained. Of course some models have much more useful functions like AM/FM tuner and, TV receiver and antenna and game play.

Use authentic installation agents and install the required safety measurements. 
Most in-dash DVD player manufacturers have made certain safety measurements . Certain measurements include DVD won’t work until emergency brake is on or car is parked. Though there are full list of street car accessory shop that will help you to bypass these safety measurements when install in-car DVDs, you should always choose those legitimate store and make sure all required safety measurements are there. Wrong placements of car DVD players is another reason of causing problem. Sun visor DVDs should not be placed in front of driver as its name may suggest. What the consequence if the driver is gawking at what’s being shown while he/she should be more careful on roads. Roof mount DVDs also should avoid to catch the attentions of drivers. if possible, use headphones.

Keep in mind that lives are the most important things over any other.
Everyday thousands of car accidents happen, a large part of that are merely caused by ignoring of basic rules and driving ethics. Actually endangering not just your life and even other’s lives are far more exceeding ethics. Experts estimate that around 93% of all car accidents are the result of poor driving, intoxication, and other human factors. Respect your self and others is always the simplest way to a safe driving.
