+= Plugins for XBMC =
+
+Since I do not like to remove any of the BMW equipment out of the car, I do need to write plugins to control those. This way everything stays mostly OEM. So following is a small overview incl. screenshots showing couple of those plugins.
+
+== Radio and CD-Changer control ==
+
+Radio and CD-Changer control is done by emulating MID device. The thing is that I do not own any BM24 or BM54 radio, so just a simple professional rds. This radio has never been supplied with a OEM bordmonitor. That means that this radio might not work when emulating bordmonitor, hence MID emulation is in place. The plugin is almost done. I can switch stations, search them (tune), switch mode (RDS, Freq, ..) and change to CD-changer mode. In the cd changer mode I can anything as with OEM MID device. Here are some impressions:

+
+Last screenshot shows that since radio or cd-changer are on, video can still be played in the background. 
+
+The radio plugin can either be enabled by press to the 'BMW Radio' button in the main menu or by pressing the 'MODE' button on the bordmonitor device.
