Yes, but it is more extensive than what is being discussed in this thread.

Thank you

There are 4 pins that power the screen. They are 1,3,5, and 6. I just did mine and it was probably one of the best mod I did to my car. Hope that Helsinki you.

Thanks alot mate, i did the full retrofit today, and it fully works, the nav came with the tcu and the previous owner had bmw online service supsciption which is still active so i get the weather, news, google etc.

The sat nav was not working at first as i expected because i dont have the fsc code, but this morning when i got in the car to go to work the navigation option came up and everything works now perfectly without any programing

apart from the sound as i have logic7 in my car and the the car it came from dident, but hoping to get it sorted soon

If you need coding for the cic, just contact Patrys. He's the guy you want to talk to. He coded my cic to my car, dvd in motion, and folding mirrors. Patrys is the man.

I don't know how it works in USA, but for Russia - it's great)

With all this tech going into cars, I can see some statistics going up in RTA's not keeping an eye on the road,
If only we had tech like in the Firefox movie.... must speak Russian...

For those of you that retrofitted a CIC, do these two screens work for you?

I can't seem to check off that box for the speed limit warning and my trip computer is always blank for me. Regardless if I have a destination set or not.

They both work for me... I think that your problem is that your cluster does not know that there's a Nav in your car yet. The info for those screens most probably is coming from the cluster (speed and trip computer).

Hi,

I read this thread and now I want to do this upgrade!!

I found a unit but I don't know the difference between the US/Canadian model and the euro production date is 14/10, 2010 march,

froman · 11-07-2010, 10:30 PM

How about this guy in Lithuania selling complete kits?

Seems like everything you need, and he has a guy who logs in to your car to do the programming. And the price is good...

Also, could I sell the old CCC and display to recoup some of my costs? Or do you still need the CCC if you take the car in for service?

Well I read every single page in this thread and I found NOTHING.

Could someone post the PN for the GSM TSU that says "Continential" on it?

PLEASE?????

Oh I'd love to see it. Where did you get it done or did you do it yourself?

Show us all man!!

And how helped with the programming? Do you get the voice to work as will?

GTiceman · 12-02-2010, 03:11 PM

Unfortunately I don't have really any photos except pieces on the floor and the dash cavity

Did it myself so was trying to get it done and not miss anything but I can take a picture of the finished install ... I followed Booster's instructions for most of the project and the tips in this thread in tandem

the programming was done by BMW Retrofit who did it all remotely and were very helpful and great guys

I have not tested Voice Control but that was not a huge concern for me initially

SCtud · 12-02-2010, 03:18 PM

Can you give us an estimate on total costs spent? There's only one prepackaged solution out there right now which is too expensive. EAS has not come out with their solution yet either.
