Combox retrofit in a CIC equipped vehicle questions
I'd like to bluetooth streaming and possibly enable album art, office apps on my 09 E92 with factory CIC.
I 09 N51 e92 with bluetooth(call only), satellite radio and usb/ipod from factory. From what I have gathered, Tune2air bluetooth adapter will give me bluetooth streaming/call function and nothing else. -About $90 -easiest, I already have 30 pin y cable. I am trying to guage if combox retrofit is worth it. This is the information I gathered for Combox telematics retrofit. If someone can answer the questions and correct me where I am wrong, that would be great. -About $150-$200 for used combox and DIY harness -coding ( I am willing to learn) -will allow me to use standard lightning cable instead of the bulky 30 pin connector plus lightning to 30 pin adapter to charge. -can stream from any other bluetooth device/phone when I have company. -text message read (I can do it with "hey Siri" now). -office for emails and such. -connected drive/bmw apps. No idea what exactly it does. -I dont have BMW assist. But will a retrofit give me an assist error although I dont have subscription? -Is connected drive/BMW apps even possible without BMW assist subscription? -Does it mess with the TPMS and engine oil readings? -video playback on CIC screen via bluetooth or cable? -FSC code cost? -update CIC cost(I believe the software is still the original from 09, is an update required)? -Do other modules in the car need update as well? -reversible if I want to bring the car back to stock? I am sure if I use retrofit harness, physical reverse process is possible. I am more concerned about the coding reversal. Currently in process of factory alarm and reverse camera retrofit, and would like to do PDC retrofit. Would a combox retrofit pose any issues with these? Shall I do the pdc and alarm retrofits first and then do the combox retrofit? |
