Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say hello
There is one more cool feature we can activate in a CIC - DVD/Video playback while driving.
Not very safe but passengers will enjoy it for sure

That would be pretty sweet, but the ticket from the cops would be less pleasing! Still worth it tho!

I hope you guys don't mind me jumping into this post. I've got a pre-LCI 2007 525i with DVD NAV and I've wanted to upgrade my iDrive system ever since I saw the new version. Now that I've discovered this post its exiting to know that this is now a real possibility. The only caveat of course being that it will be a substantially expensive mod. If I decide to go with this I would probably rather purchase the entire solution from Patryk as you guys are suggesting.
In terms of trim finish, I have a dark variegated poplar wood trim so I've got to figure out which panels need to be changed to accommodate the new iDrive Controller and CIC. In the event Patryk is willing to support possible future html programming of the CIC, it would probably be beneficial to buy the program interface also. External USB port for music/file downloads to the HDD sounds like a must also.
Here are additional programming options he has offered in the E90post forums:
Loosing any existing functionality that I currently have by migrating to the new iDrive system will definitely be a step backwards. Hopefully coding is available for voice control etc.
Anyway, I'll send Patryk and email for more details. If anyone is interested I've copied his email addy from the post over at E90post forums. Hopefully he doesn't mind. (Do you Patryk?) info@modyfikacjebmw.pl

Special Offer:
If you have a XP based laptop and you can have it connected to the Internet when sitting in your car I can remotely code the following features for you:
- automatic mirror folding with a keyfob (no need to buy an expensive device to activate this feature any more),
- automatic windows/sunroof opening/closing with a keyfob,
- DVD-in-motion - you can watch DVD movies with your new CIC Navigation, but only when car is parked. This extra feature will allow your passenger to enjoy movies/videos at all times,
- Euro front blinkers (sidemarkers) - your blinkers will go ON only when you turn them ON,
- digital speedometer in your cluster,
- do you have any codes on the dashboard due to installation of aftermarket lights/bulbs or the OEM E92 LCI tail lights? - these codes can be removed,

@Georgieb
This is what you will need for your car, for those who have wood trim i feel bad for you guys
51169156126 Panel, decorative with oddments tray. DUNKEL( dark poplar wood)
51459156041 Set of covers. PAPPEL DUNKEL(ashtray cover)
51456976376 Ashtray
From what i understand they working on the Voice Control codes. Personally its not a deal breaker because i never had it.
I got a retrofit blog on the Patrts and Mods section

Nelson29,
Thanks for the reply! I've sent an email to Patryk with multiple queries regarding this install. I'll also update this thread with my progress. As a side note (and correct me if I'm wrong) but the part number listed below as "51169156126 Panel, decorative with oddments tray. DUNKEL( dark poplar wood)" is for the old iDrive controller that I already have, correct? I would be interested in upgrading to the new controller and suspect the panel would change also. Would I be looking at this one instead? "51169156127 Decor panel with oddments tray (Dark poplar wood)"
In addition I think I would also need the modified CIC trim since I have two slots for CD/DVD. I think this part number is 51456976361?
Lastly, I'm a bit confused regarding the ashtray components. Given the changes listed above, would I still need these components?
Thanks again for the advice!

Here's the trim with the cic. it took me days getting the correct p/n.
You will also need the ashtray components if you have a Pre-lci. The p/n is 51456976376.
This is how it looks
You will also the dtc, dsc and heating switches, from what i hear they are about $60 each.
Here's a rundown of the p/n that you need, i notice that you're in Canada and im pretty sure Garry @ Newport BMW does not ship to Canada. Don't know if you aware but he gives e60 owners 25% discount, you will definitely want to take advantage of it. If you need help in shipping to Canada, let me know so i can i help you with the shipping. Also most of these parts need to be ordered from Germany so it will take 2-3 weeks to get to the US. If you sure you gonna do the retrofit, i would do that first.

61119185171 CIC HD Screen cable
61319167196 USB Port
61129196805 USB Port cable
51456976361 CIC Center trim
61136954526 CID CAN/power connector
Im still trying to get the frame for the controller and the black trim that goes around it. Waiting on p/n from Patryk.

Nelson,
Thanks for the detailed part numbers and all the great info you are providing. Even with the list above I'm guessing that I'll also need the frame and trim for the new controller along with a new DTC, DSC panel. (This may be a good thing given that I wanted to try to upgrade this panel and use an additonal OEM button to activate the SprintBooster V2 module I just ordered. I didn't much like the double sided adhesive button they provide).
I don't have any contact info for Garry @ Newport BMW but once I do I'll definately get in contact with him, given the 25% discount. Looks like my wood trim replacements won't be cheap. Better I figure out the complete parts list I need before ordering so I only have to ship once to Toronto from Germany. Thanks for the offer to help with shipment. I also have an address in France providing that Garry can ship there. If so I would then forward the shipment to Toronto. If that's a no-go I'll definately take you up on your offer.
May be a redundant question; these part numbers do reflect components for North American left-hand drive E60s, correct?
This also may be a bit off topic but since we are talking about replacing half our dash (ha ha), have you given any thought to upgrading to the LCI version automatic shifter? Is it possible and does the CIC require coding for this also?
Looks like this will be a great project!

P/N 51459156041 is the panel that you need. you just have to buy the dtc, heating seat switches.
This is what p/n 51459156041 looks like without the switches.
Here's the link to Garrry @ Newport BMW, Im 99% sure that he doesn't ship to Canada, but call him to verify.

You Can also try contacting Jason Or Evan @ Tischer BMW, Im also pretty positive that they don't also ship to Canada.

Yes, All the parts listed reflect components for North American left-hand drive E60s
I been wanting to do the LCI automatic shifter since the first day i saw it but from what i have read its impossible because its an electronic shifter. Im pretty sure sure is doable but it might need be worth it. Its all about how much you willing to spend.
