I know I can get an aftermarket apple play/android radio in its current slot but I’m really not keen on that position.
So it looks like I can retrofit non Idrive with Idrive and I feel like if I’m going through the hassle of that, I would rather have CIC than the older CCC. I could then fit a combox for bluetooth functionality and apple car play. Or I could then fit an Android unit. I will have some questions if I do go with the complete retrofit lol.
It would be nice to have the bmw Idrive functions but the main thing I want is apple car play in the bubble dash. So I wondered if I could replace the dash with the “bubble” dash (space for Idrive) and then fit an android unit there using the current radio setup. This would be a lot cheaper.
Let me know any thoughts?
Thanks

A few people have added carplay/android boxes to non iDrive dashboards which involves cutting, but with the supplied bezel the end result always looks good. Saw a video of it being done just last week, this would surely be the cheapest solution for you.
