It looks great Ben!

Thanks for the kind words. I guess the next thing should be the Combox retrofit with the 6FL/6NF options

Hi Zino,

Congrats on your CIC navigation system installation. I am very much interested on the CIC upgrade in my car.
Thanks for all the info.

Currently I am driving E60 BMW 525i, 04 model, UK spec with a twist knob kind of heater climate control. I am very sure it is a M-ASK (business non navigation) model. I know that the CIC navigation system could be easily installed in my car. If you don't mind, can you write to me what are the items needed for the installation and how much it will cost.

Secondly,

I would also like to upgrade my standard twist knob heater climate control to the round knob auto climate control. Is that possible? The twist knob heater has 2 connectors at the back whereby the round knob automatic heater has 3 connectors at the back of it..

Please advice.

Thanks

Narinder

Ben,
Do you recall which wire you had to cut? I've been debating this past while on whether or not I should upgrade my climate control unit also with the CIC retrofit. Did you absolutely have to cut it or could you just remove the pin??

Thanks and best regards,

Did you order FSC code for your vin-number or from a newer car who have CIC from factory?

Do you know the part number for the CIC/FSC code? I find many codes in ETK, "enabler", "reparation" ++..

I live in the Netherlands and would like to upgrade to the CIC navigation and multibutton iDrive controller on my 2006 Touring.
But have no knowledge how to program and not done such a mod before. Is there anyone who can help or do this?

Also would help to see pictures of the idrive controller installed in the prefacelift facia.
I donot wan to upgrade to the LCI as the ashtray location is important to me (no smoker but havve equipment installed).

Any help or advice is appreciated.
