Great weather brought out a great group of ///M enthusiasts to the Houston ///M Club Meet & Greet in Sugar Land.

Thanks to ///M Ryder for organizing it!

Sick photos guys! Sucks I couldn't make it out, seems like it was a full house.

Brian and Frank, I can't thank you guys enough for the support you provide to the club. Your photo skills are always there to capture the moments we all share. Thanks for all that you both do................Phil

Our pleasure, Phil. Just sharing the love! (...and making up for the fact that I haven't yet tracked my car.)

all the cars look really good


I would have been there if the rain did not mess up the meet you all had plan for Saturday I was in the area damn the luck . I see I am going to have to make a guest visit at Houston Cars & Coffee on Saturday March 3rd in order to catch some of you members. My son has a track meet that day. I will be in the Houston area again that weekend .

Nice meet, and the weather was perfect!! I don't even have an E92 yet, but the mod wish list grew even longer yesterday.

What are the details on this? Ash tray replaced with an ipod linked into the radio.

Wow! Great cars out there! You Texans are lucky, if we had a meet here right now we'd all be wearing parkas.

I'll let Bluemonde come in here and explain better. But this thing was sweet. He did the installation himself. Basically, it's a jail-broken iPhone 4 with a data plan, that is connected to the Modmynav.com interface module using a 30-pin dock connector to Audio/Video RCA banana plugs. Whatever is displayed on the iPhone 4, will show up on the Navi screen. Since he has data plan enabled, he has the phone connected to streaming music apps (Pandora, etc.) that will play through his car's speakers. All his music album artwork was displayed in the Navi screen when he had music running.

The phone gets power from the car so that it charges when the car is on.

Since it has the power of a jail-broken iPhone 4, you can imagine the capabilities. You could use the iPhone's map program if you hate BMW's navigation, use it to search the web.

He said he's not done finalizing it yet as he's trying to figure out how to get the OEM ash tray door cover back on.

What I think would be pretty sweet if he could set it up to where it automatically flips up at a 45 deg angle tilt when opened, for easier typing and navigating through the iPhone's menus.

He said it all Thanks Frank
I'm into multimedia, I have MY08 Nav and spending 4K for an upgrade (MY09+) and to be limited to "many options" didnt justify the 4K.
4K can buy me alot of CF!!!

the project is not done, Once I finish it I will post pics and videos.
I'm looking for an OEM look with a CF touch.

Great cars awesome pics sick turn out.
