Can an aftermarket head unit be fitted to am I drive car ?

Mark e90 · 04-12-2017, 05:54 PM

Just wondering if it would be possible to fit something like this to a car the comes from factory equipped with idrive ( 2005 ccc I believe)

I know it might seem daft as I would lose the use of the idrive but just wondering if it's even possible todo ?

There's no reason you couldn't remove the iDrive just like you can retrofit it. So I'd start by reading retrofit guides and go from there.

I'd suggest a CIC retrofit over an aftermarket unit though.

how much are you talking for that though ?

between £750 and £1200 depending on who you go to and what is exactly required. (those are examples of the lowest and highest quotes I have received)

I just thought a ghetto install would have been available for around under £500 ?
