No, that's the Alpine upgrade for the OEM Stereo system (yes, that's the name) not the HiFi. And even if you want to use it, it can only drive 2 Logic7 components sets (2 ohms each) and two 6.5" woofers and not the 7 Premium speakers (4 ohms each) and two 8" woofers that we have.

Again, if you get the FSC codes (based on your VIN) it will command that CIC to switch ouputs to digital. The issue is getting the codes... that's the reason I'm buying now the CIC new and the screen used instead of both used as I planned so I would have a better leverage with BMW when I request the FSC codes... the codes are supposed to be included when you buy the CIC at the dealer.
