So if we want to retrofit a used CIC navigation we have to trick it every time we drive the car? Has anyone made any progress on this retrofit? I'm getting bored and like to retrofit mine. I've already done the bluetooth, homelink, Sirius...I'd love to have the new navy to complete my package.

I mean I saved 15k on my car buying it used so I had to sacrifice options...but I retrofitted everything I wanted but the navigation system...I think the old CCC is not worth the trouble, but the new HDD system is the shiz. |

I don't see any intention whatsoever from BMW to make an OEM retrofit of the new iDrive in older than MY2008 cars... I know as I have asked directly too many times for too many months and the answer is always just no. |

Are you inferring that there is an intention from BMW to make an OEM retrofit for MY2008 cars? Mine's a June 2008 build and I just missed out on the new iDrive.

I should have stated in simpler terms that BMW has no intentions of doing an official CIC retrofit for CCC-equipped vehicles.

Well Technic, you've had it in your car for a while at least semi-functional. Is giving up voice-control and nav worth what you get as far as the new interface/HDD/other goodies or should we just stick with the old version and not bother with trying to fit this in at all?

As an iDrive swap it is not worth it if the Navigation is not enabled, because a lot of really useful features -current and future- will be missing as well as the maps as they are directly linked to that activation. Voice Control is not a biggie, as BMW has not implemented the new Nuance system yet so there's no loss here. There is a solution to enabling the maps, unfortunately it is not fully available in the USA. But the reason I did the swap was to test such solution in the USA somehow, so I would say that the swap is worth to me. |

There will be no Voice Control in this retrofit unless you load the VC FSC, though. I have not worked with my FZD so I don't know how many mic are really installed... I only see one mic grille there. |

Retrofit/swap status:
Received this morning what it seems to be the real FSC files for Nav enable and 2010.1 Map update for my CIC; at least the FSC for the 2010.1 USA maps file information matches the P/N in the USA ETKA, so that looks good. The previous FSC received were for my CCC, sent by mistake; its file information contained a CCC P/N. The CIC FSC file information does not have any CCC P/N anywhere, so that's also looks good. Will try loading these files some time next week to see if they actually work. I cannot find the P/N for the Voice Control FSC to obtain those files, so if somebody knows please send PM with details. |
