I would imagine that the shortcut buttons could be a requisite for the buttons on the controller to work. I have 1/07 production car which means no buttons.

If it will work on someone else's car without the programmable idrive buttons, then I would strongly consider it.

i just tested on an 06 e90 idrive. it did not work.

What about the "option" and "back" buttons?

back allows you to go back to previous menu, the option buttons takes you to settings.

So for a pre-programmable-button IDrive CCC (ie 06/07 car) this LCI controller doesn't work

However, if I were to change my old CCC for the 08 version with the programmable buttons, it will work...! I would imagine it's quite easy to change, just that the car needs recoding...??

For that I would just go all the way and get instead a CIC and the new screen with the new controller knob... and have the new iDrive.

I agree, but at the moment it isn't a viable option. I have the opportunity to get hold of a 'new' CCC with the programmable buttons for next to no money... might just get it anyway just in case!

Could that just be swapped out without a recoding by the dealership?

longtran · 01-29-2009, 12:52 PM

this setup is forsale if anyone is interested. since this was made the the previous idrive, i doubt he can use it. So its up forsale now.
