Hello great people of the forum. I need your help. I just bought the CIC Nav. Retrofit and I need links and pictures showing how people did their cable runs on an E60. In particular, I need:

1. CIC to combox in rear trunk cable run
2. CIC to USB in Glove box cable run
3. CIC to new iDrive controller cable run
4. Combox to arm rest USB\Aux cable run

Thank you in advance!!!!

Maybe you missed this thread couple down from yours... CIC install

balbs

Yes I've gone through that thread. It doesn't have much as far as cable runs though. The most it has is for the combox to 6FL.

BTW, That thread is a BIBLE!!!!

Try PM'ing member Nelson29, he has done several of these retrofits. Maybe he can help?

balbs

Good idea! I'll see if he can post on this thread so it will help others.

Nelson29 is a great guy. When I did this install I treated it like a sub/car audio install and ran wires tucked underneath carpet & other areas

Thanks Chris I ran all the wires thru the center on the car. You gonna have to remove the passenger and back seat.

balbs

Both front passenger and back seat?...Dayum!!
So the combox USB and GPS antenna (to CIC) all run to the middle of the car through the center console?

balbs

Did you run all the wires (GPS antenna, combox usb) along the side of the "bump" between the left and right rear passenger? Where is the best place to lift the carpeting?

Thanks!

I put the gps antennae in the dash itself instead of running it to the back of the car.

But I would run it along the center console then under the seats if it were me..
