Hi,
If I am duplicating any "happy ending" previous Thread, please refer / point me to that Thread.
Project Scope:
Upgrade the Current M-ASK , 6.5" on board monitor to the CCC Navigation pro version with the 8.8" on Board Monitor.
What I have:
VIN: CB86255
BMW E60 525xi
iDrive, 6.5" On Board Monitor, M-ASK, BT,....etc
Research:
I looked up 2 paths:
A-Purchase a retrofit Kit ( $5000+ ) PN# 65900397300 & 65900413216.
B-Purchase parts one by one depending on ETK V12 and realoem.com
Preparation:
-CCC PN# 65839123088
-8.8" on Board Monitor PN#65829193757
-CCC Fan harness / cable.
-Navigation MIC and cable.
-After market GPS Antenna with the blue connector cable.
-DASHBOARD COVER PN#51456951026
-Coding using BMW SSS Progman V39 and DIS V57 GT1 OPS.
-Navigation retrofit kit Installation instructions SA 609 (Attached), will need cables A & E and follow steps in pages : 11, 13, 15 & 16.
Now, Any feedback, comment, Suggestion is highly appreciated.
My Questions:
-Did any one went through similar project?
-Any one can tell me what is the PN# of the fan Cable / harness ( E cable) and the navigation MIC cable ( A cable )
-Any one want to sell any of the retrofit kits mentions above with "reasonable price" ? let me know, I will buy.
I did read several threads but with "no happy ending" mostly they miss the fan cable, navigation MIC and coding part.
Thanks in advance guys!

Long Story Short, The CCC retrofit needs more work and more parts if the car didn't have the option SA 609, which I didn't mind, however I never found the part number for cables A and E mentioned in the retrofit installation PDF.
Plan changed to CIC Upgrade.
Just ordered my new CIC kit from bimmer-tech.net ( Patryk).
There are a decent number of posts / threads about CIC upgrade, mine will be tilted "keep it simple with pictures" (I hope).
I am glad to have a GPS Antenna ( no need to remove the shark Tale fin Antenna ) as I was able to check the connected cables to that Antenna through removing the center rear overhead roof piece ( See pictures).
I will need to run the GPS cable from the trunk to the CIC back, Any one got some PDF / pictures about how to route that?

My change from MASK to CCC was a piece of cake! Total cost was around 1000. Two trim panels and a antenna along with the CCC system. Coded S609 changed a few language options and it was complete. I don't have the mic though.

I just went with the aftermarket antenna and placed it the in the center IP speaker opening under the grill.
I am interested in the mic option. I used to have the bluetooth voice command but with the upgrade I lost it. So I guess I need the a new mic. I'm not sure if I would use the mic for the nav since I don't use it in the our X5 CIC system. Maybe because I don't drive this car a lot. But I did use the bluetooth for the phone.

The Upgrade is NOT Complete
The USB is still not working.
I am getting a new SOS error message.
The Seller is not responding.
