Sorry for the late response Balb,
Quick answer is yes, I did.

 

Hi All,
Have an 08 LCI 550 sport and thinking of tackling this (along with potentially heated seats - though it seems impossible). Amazing info in this thread

Can anyone summarize "what doesn't work" with this/Patry's conversion?
-night time illum mode
-anything else? bluetooth?
-woofer?

Also, anyone know the implications of doing this and trying to add heated seats?

Thanks!

 

GeorgieB, how did you take the old iDrive controller out while the console area is(seems to be) still mounted?

 

Hey Balbs, this was some time ago but if I remember correctly I definitely ripped the entire console area out to get at the old controller. Given the mounting position of the support screws, I don't think there is a way of doing it otherwise. The pictures I posted may be deceiving.

Thanks to pclausen for this image. (Although it does not depict the bracket I used, it clarifies the mounting assembly of the old controller).

 

Ha ha okay thanks! I was scratching my head there for awhile thinking "Man, that dude must have small hands to squeeze them between the ducts and unscrew those". LOL!

 

No problem Balbs, I'm glad to shed clarity. I haven't been participating in the forums much lately. Are you in the process of completing this mod now?

 

Yes, In fact I started my own log here:

I would like to retrofit the apple music/media snap in adapter cradle for iphone 4/4s. I already have the CIC coded and retrofitted with 6NF and 6NR.
Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

 

I have a problem with the controller after my battery was down. No power (backlight) in the button -just do not work!
I'm with CIC Retrofit. Please help ...

 

Does anyone know if email or pm would be the best way to get ahold of Patryk? I emailed him 3 days ago about purchasing a kit but haven't heard anything back.
