I’m hoping with it being a newer model, coding will be easier. I’ll be buying a bn2000 Combox soon as well and doing a pin swap.
Have you any experience with that era cic?
As the car doesn’t have gps, is it simply a case of buying a gps antenna with a fakra connector and plugging it into the Combox and maybe some coding?
The CIC also happens to have DAB, so is it the same as above by connecting a dab antenna but directly to the cic?

CICs are mostly the same. It is the C1A firmware that many are upgraded to that makes the CIC patcher work to activate the nav and other features. Combox does not need the GPS if you are just using it for bluetooth and USB. If there is a blue antenna wire in the trunk, it can be extended to the CIC in the front for nav. If no blue connector, the shark fin may have the un-used port. Or aftermarket antenna in the dash can also work.
I don't know about European DAB. US uses the same antenna for alll radio.
