There are some aftermarket NAV units out there, though, that could possibly suit your needs. But what little I've read about the audio quality is not promising: http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=757576


Quality of sound is much better through the USB port, and you can just plug in a cheap memory card/stick. BMW didn't completely disable the USB port. However your control over content can be difficult, unless like me, you prefer your music random. I, too have a no-line model with the BMW "Professional" head unit.
