7+ years later from the original post, I say thank you sir. I just got my system all set, powered up and tested. I just have to swap my dashboard as soon as I'm on vacation at the end of this week. I'm very exited.

Does anyone have a copy of the PDF referenced in this post? It seems the original link is now dead.

Sold my BMW, so my navigation project is effectively cancelled.
However, I had already purchased practically everything I needed for this conversion so now I'm selling it as a complete conversion kit, including double-scoop dash panel. No head unit, display, or controller. This allows the buyer to select either the CCC (not recommended), CIC, or NBT system. Click on this link for the marketplace ad.

My Junkyard iDrive retrofit is underway. I should be under $250 for the swap all said and done. Can just add the VO with inpa or ncsexpert like I did when retrofitting a CD changer emulator?
Everything is hooked up except the idrive knob and the head unit van. The CID will not power up. I checked the connector as the CID and it is getting 12v power and 4v at the bus. I am stumped on what to do. I used OEM tap wires I got from the dealer. + power is from a fuse tap, everything else is how the DIY did it. Update 2: I took the head unit apart and manually removed the two disks. It still did not work. I wonder if either the head unit or screen are dead since they did come from the junkyard. Update 3: Everything is working now. For future reference: in CAPPLE change ZBE from high to low Thats fixed the knob Last edited by Nickco43; 06-15-2018 at 04:46 PM.. |

Thank you much
Back in 2011 I had a '06 325i with CCC iDrive. After a couple years, sold it. Couple years later, kinda missed my E90. So I picked up a '08 328i, but no iDrive. Although not as enthusiastic with my E90 as then, missing my iDrive, I was motivated enough to do this non-iDrive to CIC retrofit. Just wanted to give a huge Thanks!! to Booster, and others like voucher76, etc. Without your detailed posts, I couldn't have done it. Booster, if you're still on here, you're a legend.
To add something new/different: i) I couldn't get the center console out / over the hand brake. So instead of running the GPS wire under the carpet, it is exposed for about 4 inches (from back of console to going under rear seat). ii) I found that I didn't have to disconnect any of the wires from underneath the driver side footwell area; just left them hanging. I still have some coding issues but with all the major hardware and wiring out of the way, the rest is cake. I know this is a really old thread but just wanted to say thanks again to Booster, voucher76 and all you others that have contributed over the years. |

Thanks, yo!
I'm glad some peeps, even years later, are getting use out of it. I've sold my car long ago, but still think about and miss it. Maybe I'll get another one to tinker with. I'm sure there are much better tools out there now for programming, etc. so hopefully its easier than when I did it! |

well here we go...
I picked up a 06 325xi as a parts and it has CCC iDrive. I have a non-drive 07 335i. I have already purchased a new cid as the one that came in the parts car was bad. I am now looking for a newer ccc unit (after 03/07) because the one in the parts car is shot. Once I have everything working in the parts car I will remove everything and install into my 335i Now who can do remote coding for me to get the retrofit working correctly?!
