Performed our retrofit a couple of days ago:
Pictured are 2 CIC units - one used (married) and one unused - I'll be documenting the entire process to see which is the most effective install. Also pictured: - HD CID Display - 2nd Gen TCU (GSM) - CIC specific Controller (different part numbers) - Center console trim, LVDS cabling and USB port At the moment, I am up and running with full operation (including NAV/Voice Control) with the used CIC unit and custom module used for CAN analysis.

Swapping the iDrive does not require any "rip apart", just replace the shifter trim and only if you want the new controller. If you are retrofitting the iDrive then you will have to replace the whole dash and creating wire harnesses, it does not matter who's your supplier of the parts.

If you have the CCC Navigation you can install my retrofit kit in less than an hour. It's PnP and requires no cutting and no aftermarket parts - the complete OEM solution Just a few sets sent out in last two weeks Last edited by Patrys@BimmerTech; 07-10-2010 at 05:11 PM.. |

Patryk rocks!
Patryk helped me with my 2008 335i retrofit and it is working great! Patryk is the real deal. He is brilliant and helps you through the whole process. Highly recommended. The programming part can be quite challenging, especially if your laptop is not in tip top shape, but with perseverance Patryk will get you through it. He found me excellent parts and provided all the technical expertise to get the job done.
If you are sitting on the fence and thinking about this, you should contact Patryk. When you are finished and you have an entertainment system that is state of the art, you will be very happy that you did it. You will be proud of yourself for tackling a challenging project and succeeding. Your passengers will also be very impressed. p.s. I also got some help and advice along the way from Rich S. and Technic, but Patryk provided the turnkey product Last edited by mrvegas; 07-21-2010 at 11:01 AM.. Reason: updating msg |

Did you do the install yourself?
Tom, any update on your retrofit? I'd like to know if your retrofit will enable HD radio on cars that did not have it before and when it might be available and of course cost. I would like the HD radio feature, which will not work with Patryk's euro CIC units. Any chance you can tell me which US part unit I would need swapped (if it is at all even possible) that would enable it? Quote:

But really all you need to do with the CCC's is install the IBOC tuner. I have one sitting around I've been meaning to put in, but I have to find an extra MOST cable
