    Yah, a friend of mine bought one and installed in his new X7. After a month, the controller top has stopped working which means he could no longer control anything on the infotainment except for scrolling up and down. So he switched back the stock control top and brought his car to a BMW dealership, there they noticed that he modified the controller top and to fix it; It will cost $5000 and on top of that the warranty of the car also got voided. I mean the warranty for the whole car was voided because of this $100 modification. So be carefully everyone when you modify this part.

      I believe this would be illegal in Europe, i.e. they can't void the warranty because of such modification. (But I might be wrong, I'm only quoting something I heard in a youtube video.)

      How did they notice he modified the controller if he already switched back to stock? Something not adding up with the story.

    Also can you do a video with the puddle projector install for bmw x7 or provide the correct part number?
