I'm tempted to get back into this.

Reading through the parts list, because I'm already CIC and I have front and rear cameras.

I should just need

- $1764 Retrofit Kit
- $124 iDrive Touch Controller
- $50 postage

- $1938 AUD right?

What's the go with installation? Is everyone DIYing themselves?

Pretty much. $124 is for an iDrive controller ECU. IT comes with the controller. That price is for a brand new one from a European dealer. There are many different versions on eBay that I've fond but don't wanna risk buying the wrong one, even if they're a bit cheaper.

Also, you'll easily be able to sell your CIC for 800-1000 bucks for someone who wants CIC into CCC

I'm gonna close this off in a couple of days. The people on the list are committed to the GB regardless of the answers I get back from the seller. I emailed him last week and he was having a major fever and took a week so off work and will get back to me shortly.

I will be paying for the kits in one go and will require payment to my account or at least a small non refundable deposit of I dunno $500 in case it arrives and you don't want it. Everyone except DAT355 has met me. I won't fuck you over but if you don't trust me with your 1,800 odd buckaroos then that's cool too and you can exit out of the GB and buy yourself. I will provide you with details. I'm not loaded but I'm financially savvy so I'm not broke either. I wouldn't waste your time trying to scam you. I have given my car parts away here for charity. I am a Nigerian Prince. I will be sending you $1,000,000.



The units will all be sent to NSW. Shane, Elliott and Oz and Oscar from Hills, I will deliver the units personally to you, as I will be driving past Wollongong, Sydney and Newcastle as I move from Nowra to Port Macquarie in two weeks time.

DAT355, I can post the unit to you at your expense. At the moment, it looks like it's gonna be about 50AUD each to get landed into Australia. I'm gonna put it out there just so we are prepared, but we may be hit with import duty and GST, but I highly doubt it. I will get him to wirte a low value down on the items when shipping them. I can ship it to you for about $20-$25 from memory using Officeworks Mailman service.

So guys, ready to go on this?! Have I left anything out? Any questions, PM me. I'll forward you all my bank details in the following days

pm me your details and i will do the transfer

That's a good point I didn't think of that.

So the iDrive ECU is the controller itself, as in the the thing in the Center trim? Are you buying NBT controllers or CIC controllers? How's that work?

The kit already comes with an NBT touch controller. It just doesn't come with the ECU module for some reason. I'm guessing when people rip them out of wrecked cars, they don't take the ECU out as well? No idea

I have some good news and semi bad news.

The good news is that I have negotiated the discount which will be 10% off if EB89 jumps on board and 7% if he doesn't instead of the original 5%. Doesn't sound like much, but a 5% difference is nearly $100. The discount will also apply for the iDrive touch controller.

The bad news is that the shipping will be 65 euro, which is about $100. The head units will be shipped out individually instead of all at once. This is more expensive than shipping them together, but the seller has advised against shipping 2-3 units in one unit as to not raise the suspicions of Australian Customs and thus avoiding paying any import duty and taxes. He will also write a low value down so even if we pay GST, it won't be much.

So the revised prices are as follows:

eNBT retrofit kit 1,200 euro
-7% = 1,116 euro = $1,725.83
-10% = 1,080 euro = $1,670.16

touch iDrive controller ECU = 80 euro
-7% = 74.40 euro = $115.06
-10% = 72 euro = $111.35

Shipping 65 euro
= $100.52 AU

Total price of kit landed to your door with iDrive touch controller ECU
with 7% off = $1,941.41
with 10% off = $1,822.03

Also guys, please give me your VIN. I need this for coding the unit and also so the seller can confirm which fascia and faceplates we require and also get us a price for these items that we need.

EB, you could also just use your existing CIC controller so you wouldn't need to buy the iDrive touch controller. I do think the touch would be a cool useful feature to write the alphabet out, but not a huge necessity. I would suggest you don't get it as you will also need to trim your carbon fibre skinned centre console.

I have also asked if there will be a discount for those who do not need the iDrive touch controller (Socket and EB89)

[CashedUpBogan]

More good news for you Elliot (and Socket). If you drop the iDrive touch controller from the order, your kit will only be 1,100 euro.

Elliot, for you that means a grand total of less than $1650 all up.

[Socket]

Good news Cashy

I think I'm in then, got to get that 10% for the rest of the boys.

The touch controler I still want, I'm having trim prices made locally and will get them to make the right sized hole for this shape, then can sell my CIC trim and controller together.

Is the screen plug and play? Goes into the existing slot?

No its not plug n play. You'd need to remove the LCD from the screen unit and cut the plastic behind the LCD mount to get the F30 screen to fit. Better off buying an old CCC screen to cut up so you don't hack into your CIC one.

Is this the plastic shroud that sits between the LCD and the actual dash?

Yep thats it, its the whole screen assembly. Remove the LCD, cut the plastic on the back and the F30 LCD should fit in. Wont look too pretty but its all at the back where you can't see anything.

I think pitos_7 has a CCC screen he can sell you.

Are there any images for the F30 LCD in a CCC or CIC shroud? How much bigger is it, there isn't much room on the edge or top corners to go bigger.

[EB89]

Found this, doesn't look like the front rectangle hole has changed

[vtl]

The 8.8" LCD frame is the same size as the NBT screen so its a perfect match.

The NBT screen just doesn't mount to the plastics properly as there are some support structures that need to be cut out for the LCD to fit.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

Ill have to find the part number for just the housing without the LCD

You'll need to buy the entire screen assembly, they don't sell just the plastics by itself. Plenty of them for ebay for under $200. Might be able to get a bargain if you buy it off someone locally who upgraded to CIC.

Oh yeah haha, of of you lads want to sell me yours

[Trev88]

Haha I'm happy to take the professional screen lcd if it's not scratched!

[vtl]

I'd buy your CIC unit and Combox if Trev takes the screen
