Is the 5501 the superseeded model, and will it work?Reason being that $350us seems to be the going online price for the 5502, the 3302 is $250us, but I have found a place that is still listing the 5501 at $179.95 (I assume it is old stock). This converts to $233 aud, not including import duty or shipping.So say $250 for the converter, $180 for the cable, plus whatever hardware you want to run......not bad.... *edit* ok just re-read the thread and KrasH has a 5501 manual, so it must work.....

I knew $500 bucks was steep when I did it but I went ahead for a couple of reasons. Every other mod I found only allowed an upgraded HD to about 100-150gig I wanted 200. I can rip DVD's straight from the xbox to the HD with this mod, it came with all the software so I did not have to find the software and flash the chip myself... I could have got a chip for about $40 and soldered it in myself, but then u risk stuffing it, and also have to find all the software etc. And on top of that, your limited in HD size. The actually mod was about $200 and I got the HD off ebay for $295 So I guess it's about $160 more than the alternative but worth it in extra benefits. With this HD I should be able to mount the box, and never look at it again untill I want to add something to the HD. In which case, I just plug the network cable into the car (xbox in car) and dump!Trumpy, I think I know the site your talking about and I have already emailed them :D Here's the response:"Presently, we only accept orders being shipped within the US, Canada, and US territories and require that any credit card used for payment be issued from a US or Canadian bank.

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 3m 30d Posted 28/02/04 06:12 AM Author Share Posted 28/02/04 06:12 AM Good news and bad news.First, I emailed about a dozen US companies RE: IVSC-5501 and they all said they wont deliver to Australia................................except one...............This company (Click me) :D Parts Express! YAY!Now, the bad news......as yet I have been unable to find anyone who will lend me the software to test my machine and evaluate it..... Again, if anyone can help here it would be greatly appreciated. The current version for the Travelpilot is V.9.0 and RRP $345. When I get around to it I will order the BA interface.....Does anyone know if I should purchase this through a shop or direct from Blaupunkt? Maybe a group purchase is in order.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 3m 30d Posted 03/03/04 01:36 AM Author Share Posted 03/03/04 01:36 AM RGB 1.5m = $39RGB 4.0m = $59BA Interface = $189So. About $260 for the IVSC from the states + $287 for these bits and pieces = $547 then you decide for yourself if you want Satnav or DVD or anything! I just got quoted $600 to install sat nav and Xbox or $400 for just sat nav!!So there you have it folks, if your willing to install it yourself, it is definately possible to get satnav/dvd/mp3/games console etc all for $2000-$2500. About half the price of taking the easy route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 3m 30d Posted 10/03/04 05:42 AM Author Share Posted 10/03/04 05:42 AM UPDATE: IVSC5501 arrived today from the states. It took approximately 8 days and cost me approximately 280AUD landed with express/insured post. I just rang a Blau dealer and have ordered the remaining parts which should be in by Friday. Out of interest I was quoted $490 for the IVSC-5501 so it is definately worth getting it from the states. Final few hurdles:+ Nav software - Still can't find a copy for evaluation purposes!+ 300w inverter - Should be able to pick this up off ebay for about $90+ DX-N I/r remote - The remote which comes with the DX-N is actually attached to the unit via a cable. I could mount the unit where the tissue holder is but I would prefer to mount it in the boot. This means I will have to buy an I/R remote which I think is about $100 and may need a software upgrade which is about $60.It's slowly coming together. If anybody has or knows of anybody who has the Nav software could you please drop me a PM. Is it DVD or CD based? If not, is there any places that sell it cheap? Damn I'm a tightarse...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
