I am trying to find a Radio/CD / non HD for my 08 535I I have checked for 2008 all i can find are the HDs, I have one and am having problems getting it to work, I got the order code for the radio (s663a)and it pulls up for a 2007 530I, Most of the radios were not HD in 07 so is ths an option. I have found many of these at the scrap yards. Any input would help I did watch a You Tube VId on the 07 it looks the same and the connections looked the same.

I'm not sure about your question honestly, but if you do this, I believe that you will also lose the live traffic data picked up on the FM subchannels (which wasn't available on the 07 models, built before August or something.) |
My bet is that it won't work. Pretty much all idrive components are different between LCI (2008-up) and pre-LCI (2003-07). Even if the actual component works, the idrive trim won't fit your car.

Actually, if you are looking for a non-NAV unit, I have my MASK system from my old idrive upgrade (idrive CD unit + mp3 without HD radio from a 2008 car) that I will be happy to sell.
