DAB retrofit, information required.

Andystobbs · 11-15-2019, 01:11 AM

My car has CIC and pro nav. Without DAB option. At this point I haven't actually checked the back of the CIC unit but I doubt it has DAB aerial inputs.

While removing the interior from the breaker e91 yesterday I suddenly thought about the DAB unit on that car which doesn't have idrive, but does have a separate DAB module under the boot floor.

Can I use the separate DAB module to feed the signal to my CIC?

No it will not work, CIC will not work with module, needs to be built in.

Thats interesting, in the absence of any replies I'd been trawling the net and found the Kufatec Fistune module seems to be able to work with CIC and doesn't appear to be emulated as a CD changer.

Oh no sorry it is emulating as a CD changer. My mistake.
