Difference between iDrive High and iDrive Low controllers
Hi guys, can someone tell me what is the difference between the high and low controllers?
As I'm aware the High supports the diagonals in order to navigate thru the map. My core question is, can the LOW controller be used with a Prof Navi for gaining basic functionality, or I need the High in order to get things moving on the screen?
Thank you!

Well, thank you so much!
You've literally made my day! Hopefully the CCC test will be positive and I'll make the retrofit.
Do you know if I can use the 6.6" monitor to test the CCC, becuase I still don't have the 8.8", I'm waiting to find a CCC module first, but in order to fully test it I want to see how it works.
Thank you again!

Not to thread jack but I just received a M5 controller. The donor car had nav but mine doesn't, will I need coding to make it work?

As far as High and Lo Controller...I believe High just gives end of option feedback response. You can use it, it's not a problem. May not even need coding. My car was pre-wired for nav w/voice and I did not replace the iDrive controller but I may have had the High anyway because I get feedback.

yes you can use your 6.6 monitor, plugs right in,

My Vehicle is manufactured 07.2003. I have the Business Navi and the CCC is plug-n-play, only coding. I've tested a CCC module, but I guess it was dead, because nothing happend when I connected it. The screen was blank, there was a DVD inside it and I couldn't eject it.
I read that when you connect the CCC, without any coding you should get something on the screen, is that right?
