ive been looing at the combox but is that a plug n play or stand alone unit with out using the idrive computer

What equipment do you have? If you have a MOST coding equipment (OPS, etc), you could try just recoding the entire CCC. I would try that route before spending money.

[QUOTE=noberryafterdingl;1513394] I don't really know bout the combo box .but if u purchase a new unit it should b plug and play and controlled thru the idrive knob. I like bimmer tech stuff cause its an Oem upgrade. I myself am probably goen that route I have an 05 idrive system and want a newer looking graphics and system.

I think Gee_115 is giving u good advice to recode first ,,makes dollars and sense. If it don't fix the problem then go for the upgrade.

You are likely S.O.L. CCCs are known to die from heat - breakdown of soldering within microchips. Your options are to get a used CCC or upgrade to CIC. The later will open a path to Combox.
