if the engine is mechanically sound, simply reflash the ECU to stock.

I consider no nav/idrive a plus actually.
even the CIC system is dated, and eventually it will be in the same boat as my CCC system. Completely abandoned.

at least with the base model dash it's far easier and cheaperto upgrade to a modern aftermarket radio. I put a pioneer in my wifes car for $200 that does screen mirroring, rear view cam and everything else you could possibly want.
car technology just doesn't age well. it's usually 5-8 years behind when release because of the ruggedness and longevity requirements. just think of it, the first incarnation of the CCC software is 20 years old at this point. My ten year old car has 20 year old technology. I mean, VxWorks came out in the 80's.

It's like going back to a dial up modem.
