The $420 iDrive Retrofit Build Log
Huge thanks to Booster4075 for his amazing DIY that just turned 10 years old. I would have never attempted this without his DIY.
"iDrive retrofits are hard and are thousands of $$$$" = False E9X cars can now be found in junkyards which means cheap parts. My price list: CCC(Defective) and CID: $61 Replacment CCC: $130 Knob: $45 Center Console Trim: $40 (Worn, will replace) Dash: $61 AC Trim: $5 Cooling Hose: Came with CCC CID Harness: Came with CID CID Display Cable: Came with CID Head Unit Trim: $30 Screws: $5 20g Wire: $7 (Should have just cut some wire from junkyard car for free) Crimp Connectors: $7 OEM wire with pins: $25 (Should have just cut some wire from junkyard car for free) Coding: FREE 25 pack of DVD-R to burn the 2015 map pack on: $4 (PM me for iso) Total cost: $420 If the junkyard car had all of the bits I needed it would have been sub $250 easily Optional Extras: Sat Radio Box: $40 (I didn't buy this, but is a direct plugin with coding) eBay Bluetooth box: $140 (Already had from pro radio) Pics: If I had all of the parts when I started the DIY it would have taken a full Saturday. It really wasn't that hard to do any of the DIY. As long as you take your time and work neatly. |

CIC would have been an extra $700. I am very happy with the CCC with the eBay Bluetooth box. In a few years I plan on doing a CIC with sat radio and combox.

I understand though. Side note: US CIC systems have SAT tuner within. A Separate SAT module isn't needed.
