Guys, guys
I'm not trying to upset the applecart I thought my original question was very straightforward. I've read through the entire thread multiple times since the beginning of the year and back over sections when I have been researching things that I need to do. Quite often as in this case people tried lots of different things, and suggested different tools more often that not they didn't lead to a solution. I searched this thread for an answer to my question and didn't find the answer to 'what worked' so I asked. The question was which tool/cable was used to load the FSC. No different to the question I saw many people ask of fluffyb when he was involved in the conversation, yet that didn't result in a go find it yourself response, just because you dared to ask. I'm far from trying to be a leech I've been on the forum for only a short time but I believe I have contributed fairly across several threads when I have been able to make an input. I've completed a few retrofits so know how to research and know that asking and helping others is part and parcel of spreading the knowledge. If the link in post 729 is the only known method that is currently available then fine, I just needed clarification, I have already contacted that forum member and we have already exchanged a few emails.

Technic,
After you did your CIC and coding, do you still have the steering wheel diamond button settings in the Idrive to select its desired function, say next source or mute etc..? If so how do you access that menu? I'm still using the old controller. |

@ MEN, did you do the E60 retrofit? Got any pics of your install?
I just came from my local dealer and they were not able to find the USA p/n. Gotta order from Europe. |

OK - now you're asking direct questions which is a lot better. You will need a DCAN cable which you can get off ebay. Search "BMW DCAN" and you should be able to find what you need. Patrys, on this board, offers the remote retrofit. Beyond that, all the info is in this thread....good luck!

The video and USB cable for my CIC arrived a couple of hours ago so I plugged everything together and just took some picks of the menus. Nothing particularly special apart from the fact that all functions are enabled.
From what I have seen so far, this CIC was coded perfectly for my car. 6FL is working, Logic 7 works, Navigation & Voice control are currently working, I did a quick recording of the voice control with my iphone. I didn't even have to pair the iphone, all of my contacts were immediately available. Photo's are taken outside with an iphone so the contrast isn't too good. Haven't tried any interactive/online stuff yet, have time for that later. Yes I HAVE READ that quite often the navigation greys out after a few attempts but at the moment everything is working.

Has anyone tried a CIC->Sirius antenna retrofit yet. I have only read of instances were people have had a dealer hookup. Does anyone know what the Sirius antenna actually connects up to.
Obviously there are no available ports on the back of the CIC and 2010 cars fitted with sirius at the factory have no pre-install cabling running to the trunk. so I kind of think the hookup will be via the diversity antenna but don't have access to a newer WDS that shows it.

Some might say it was posted as a roundabout question but since I hadn't seen a direct answer to how the FSC was loaded I still think it was posed appropriately. I have a passthru +xs cable so when I saw the bit about programming the CIC over the internet my initial thought was that it was done online by linking directly to bmw via www.bmwtechinfo.com and hence my need for clarification.

This maybe of interest
This circuit board is a similar concept to that described by nik49 back in post 740. It interrupts the CAN bus and makes the navigation option available. http://www.codecard.lt/dash/bmw-cic-.../prod_432.html

You are using the old idrive controller with the CIC? Hmm, didn't realize that worked - cool.
What exactly did you code to make that work?

My CIC recognized the old idrive controller without coding it. It did not recognize the new controller. I decided to keep the old idrive controller because i would had to do some cutting.

Big advantage to this circuit is that it would also retain voice control; if voice control was already activated in the CIC since you're not doing any recoding. I sent the US distributor of their products an email to check on availability, chances are they don't even know about it yet. Potentially would be a good group buy opportunity to get some units over here. I wouldn't be surprised though if it was vaporware.
