Bluetooth retrofit and combox

Hi,

Hope this is the right forum. I recently retrofitted a cic idrive system taken from my friend's 2011 328i car onto my 2011 335i. His car has a combox and usb/aux( 6FL) while mine does not have any wiring for tcu or mulf or bluetooth and only has an aux input in the armrest.

I see there is a MMI box I can get or a new screen with carplay but I wan't to eliminate aux input and use bluetooth so I can use my steering wheel controls and retain the oem idrive streaming services like spotify etc. I see these units use the aux input to push audio in? I have the HIFI system but I feel like it does not sound good with aux.

How would I go about wiring it up? My current CIC idrive wiring was spliced into the cic screen connector to retain simplicity so it only comes down to 4 wires to go into the front JBE connector.

Update:

Pulled out the combox wiring harness from my friends car, combox, bluetooth, usb aux, phone cradle, usb/aux fakra cables and mic with mic wire. Planning to retrofit it this week. I want to use the passenger side to place the harness and use the MOST bus on the drivers side. I have pulled the MOST connector also but how would I wire it up? My E90 already has a MOST bus system since it had the connector in the quadlock but I will check to confirm it tommorow. I have the TOP HIFI amp option so there should be a most bus system. How would I use the MOST connection for the combox?
