What happened with this?

If that assembly is still available, I'll take it.

1230vani · 02-16-2009, 10:57 AM

Is the idrive controller knob lit (under)?

1230vani · 02-16-2009, 11:15 AM

What I meant is that if it is retrofit, how come that all the light works as well?

dmurray14 · 02-20-2009, 06:19 PM

Hey longtran, are you sure it isn't just a software mismatch? Maybe the newer version "understands" the commands coming over the bus from the newer controller where the old one doesn't? May just be a software issue...

Joker330i · 02-22-2009, 10:44 PM

if i have the 08 software coding will it work?

Who knows. It was just a thought....could still be a hardware limitation as LT originally proposed.

Nice!!! Nothing is impossible through Long...!

Is there any way we can have the new navigation program software from the LCI models as well??

I believe that's a definite no. The new iDrive includes a new main system (the CIC) and a new high resolution display in addition to the updated controller. There are some guys on here working on trying a retrofit, though.

CTsang1234 · 02-24-2009, 06:30 PM

I like the new LCI version control knob.

I was looking on line and noticed that a Pre-LCI knob had the Menu Button and the Voice Command Button. My 2007 only has the Menu Button. Did BMW release two versions in pre-LCI vehicles? I found this two-button one on BMW's official release video.

That's what mine has. I think the earlier builds had both buttons, later had only the menu button. Don't know why

i2iSTUDIOS · 02-24-2009, 10:05 PM

I have two as well. I think BMW figured out that passengers shouldn't get to muck with everything, only the driver should.

They should have left both buttons. I have an E60 with the two buttons and use the Voice Command button regularly. On the E93, BMW swapped the phone and voice commnad button placement. I keeping hitting the damn phone button when I want a voice command.

1230vani · 03-03-2009, 05:02 AM

I have one menu button, will this new controller work with my old idrive?

e92leon · 03-04-2009, 04:30 PM

nice!

ibd12nv · 03-26-2009, 07:55 AM

anybody still looking into this?

The new 2009 shifter trim (the new iDrive controller mount) still is not available for ordering from BMW as of today...

Atny286 · 03-29-2009, 04:43 PM

Why is this still not available?? The knob has been available for a long time... Anyone knows where to get an aftermarket carbon fiber trim for the LCI idrive knob?

Thanks,
A.

I have asked the same question to 3 different dealers and nobody know the answer... the sucker is not available to order at all, even with a P/N.

ibd12nv · 03-31-2009, 12:46 AM

I have the part number for the controller but what is the P/N for the trim? I'll see if it can be got here in Germany.

I have a 10/06 production and what I'm reading is that the buttons will not work. Has any one developed a work around for it?

roadkillrob · 03-31-2009, 06:19 AM

I talked to Evan at Tischer and they will be offering the parts and says they should be available soon!

Soon = almost 3 months from your post

My order finally is being shipped today, after almost two months of order.
