I know what Nelson means but the 6NR for the car with the 6FL is cheaper than if there is no 6FL installed.

I have a 09 335i so I also already have CIC plus 6FL and bluetooth. I'm also interested in the combox and 6nr if the group buy is valid for just them.

The combox has two USB inputs, 6FL and 6NR.

6FL gives you a Type B USB port, 6NR normally doesn't give you a USB port but the OEM connection is directly to the snap-in cradle. However the way the vendor do this and make the install cheaper is they use an after market Apple cable instead of the snap-in cradle and that's why then reuse the 6FL wiring for the 6NR. But if you wanted you can have 6FL and 6NR together, including having two Type B USB ports, one for each.

I will order tomorrow. For those of you who has question, you can contact Patryk directly at info@bimmer-tech.net

Do you think it's better to just get the CIC + Combox only or also the 6FL and 6NR? My car does not have 6FL to begin with...I am still on the fence whether I should order also 6FL/6NR together...I know I can do bluetooth streaming for the audio.

Thank you

So excited for you man. Will order in the next few days too. Did you got shipment from DHL/other insured vendor or did you pick the EMS shipping option (no insurance)?

Yes, but if your CIC software has not been updated since March 2011 it will require an update to perform this retrofit.
Please send me your VIN and location at info@bimmer-tech.net and I will check what we can do for you.

Not sure. I'm guessing DHL et al. given Patryk's style, but I could be wrong. Patryk can you clarify. Thank you. (Can't tell you how long I've been waiting to do this!)

By default all packages are shipped by DHL.
