Displaying What's on My X5 on to a Car monitor

I use my X5 as part of my GPS system. My eyesight has degraded as I've aged. So even with my glasses, it is harder for me to see/read what's on my X5 screen. Does anyone know of a practical method to display what's on my X5 on to a 7" TFT car monitor? Thanks in advance.

Just what the world needs..........an already visualy impaired driver cruisin' down the freeway, looking at a GPS Monitor instead of where he's going.

Get "Voice" or get a Right Seat Navigator.

Just please don't tell me you talk on your Cell Phone at the same time, too!


.......this is a particularly sore subject for me, very close to my heart.......more specifically, the piece of it that will be eternally missing because of a distracted, multitasking driver.

Go ahead, tell me how careful you are......rationalize all you want.

A Driver should drive, that's why they're called a Driver.

Mad Don't Know What Your Beef Is and I Dont' Care

You got my blood boiling. This is a particularly sore subject for me too, just what the world needs - another disrespectful moron. I use PocketMap Navigator and it has voice direction. However, on occasion I do stop and use the program to view streets in the vicinity. If you can't help me with question just don't reply to it. Just mind your own business. Go ahead tell all of us what a considerate person you are..... rationalize your prior response to me anyway you want. Have a great week... BTW - learn how to spell.

Eric, You're a good kid, I like you........but please stop trying to "soften" this.

I feel very strongly about, and have been personally affected by, Driver Multi-Tasking.

Driving is serious business, figure out where you're going before you set out. He said he stops "on occasion" to "view streets in the vicinity." I sincerely hope it's more than "on occasion".

I'll Post no more here, I've said what I mean, and I mean what I said.....can't get much clearer than that.
