The CIC and the CCC use the same Quadralock with the same pin assignments. Only the HD CID power/CAN connector is different.

Awesome! I'll have to look into a used CIC and play around myself.

You should call them and offer no more than $500 for it... it has been relisted in eBay twice, and price reduced already and still no buyers for the last 6 weeks. |

You can extend it with a USB port + cable and you might want to change a connector on the HD CID power/CAN cable to make it OEM. I just extracted pins from the cable and connected them to my new CID. You do not have to change a controller, but it you do it you will need a new trim. |

I installed my new CID and CIC this morning. Oddly enough, everything seems to work even without coding. Its clear that this CIC came from a 128i Automatic, as the PDC screen is different. Of course, nav & voice control does not work without FSC. Happily, the CIC works (somewhat) with the old style controller, although it sucks not having that "option" button! I was pleased to see that telematics seems to be working, even with the old TCU (bluetooth, address book, calling, seems to work) - I haven't tried assist yet. Although in comparing to a newer style LCI TCU, I did notice that that multiple listings for the same person in the address book are handled much better/easier to break down by number. Interesting. I think I want a newer TCU for that reason alone.
Oh, on another note, I was gonna swap the plastic lens/hood for the CID - the old style and new style are different, even though they look identical. The micro light sensor has a different ribbon cable which goes into the CID which is slightly different (different # of contacts) - weird. I have pix if anyone is interested. I guess I'll go out and code the CIC now (assuming I have new enough software on my laptop) and see what changes... So far, so good. |

That's what this whole 28 page thread is about.

I got a hold of a LCI 5-series tonight and took the glovebox apart. I found that the USB port cable runs and joins into the main dash harness and goes up into the dash (as opposed to a single wire going "left" towards the radio.) Go figure.
I was hoping to find a 24" cable that went from the USB port to the CIC with a nice gray tag with part numbers on it...sort of like the old & new LVDS cables do. No luck. Tomorrow, I will try to get my paws on a nice LCI 3-series and do the same. |

Guys do we have pictures of any of this? also some one please explain the FSC coding...is it something that can be hacked? I have programming resources ..I believe all BMW code is written in siemens VDO (http://www.vdo.com/generator/www/com...e/home_en.html) I know BMW is still using siemens just not sure exactly the code structure...can we crack this if we had a programmer who is familar?
