Hi All

I know I have been stating earlyer that this "up-grade" was not possible to do , due to warius software issues , but after a lot of time and effort , I/we have manged to do it "hurra" , what are he talking about ??? , you see earlyer on this forum there have been written a lot about "up-grading" the pre LCI CCC to the LCI CCC ( and pre-M-ASK's to LCI-M-ASK's ) with the 8 direct choise bottons/keys ( in the US only 6 bottons/keys ) , this feture came in early 2008 ( Marts if I remember right )

I have now done this up-grade and all is function , I now only have to get the Voice command function coded , but that should not be a big deal to do , so hope I will get this done in the start of the New Year.

In order to get the front cover fit , I had to also change the IHK ( Klima control unit ) there to the bottons on that unit is not the same size as on the pre-LCI , so the old IHK's botton's where to smal to the LCI front cover ( was looking stupid ).

This is a up-grade that only should be performed by people who have good knowleged to the INPA NCS-expert softweare , and are able to alter TRC fils and convet them to MAN fils etc.

I'll not be making any DIY for this , due to the fact that there is so many compleks factores in this proceedure.

But take a look , here is the avidence that is now have been done

Hi BenAnd

Besides adding the additional keys, does the new CCC improve overall speed of the I-Drive system? I find my system soooooo slow. Especially when starting the car, it takes ? a minute or more before the system is fully functional. Also calculating routes is terrible slow....

Thanks,
Thomas.

hmm - ok. Then no real reason for upgrading :-)

Is this the unit with the HDD integrated? If so, what does that do?

Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas

No it is not the unit with the HDD integrated , that came first here in 2009 , so way upgrade ?

1st to show that it could be done

2nd , to get the direct access to the Men?'s , and what a relife not to have going in the I-drive men? each time I want to switch from one source to another ( Cd to DAB to radio etc. ) , if I want to make a call home now , I just have to press ONE botton and the call is made , the same goes now for the Navigation , ONE push and the Navigation is started to go home , I now do not have to get to the adress book first and find "home adress" , the same goes now for the AUX-in ( when using the DVD ) and TV , must say I just "love" it

And also it's fun to make a upgrade that BMW say "can't be done"
