If you are going through all this trouble, I would say why not put in the CIC idrive controller itself. It works fine and gives you a lot more functionality than the normal idrive. But otherwise yes even an LCI one will work fine for you.

You don't have to get new trim. Your existing trim can be cut to fit the new controller.

It is not plug and play. The new one is lighted and has different button configuration. Plenty of DIY info around that shows how to modify the plugs and code for the controller.

Just to clarify the lci controller with just menu button is direct fit to my controller wiring and panel

And for the new cic controller I need to cut panel and plugs and wire?
