Combox without I-drive?

neilvan · 11-05-2019, 12:39 PM

I thought the combo of combox and non-drive didn't exist(through all my reading) but this morning I came across one. 2011 328 that had no I-drive but had the combox (telematik_GPS_BN2000) in the back (VIN: NN86060)

I was planning on using it with the CIC retrofit in my E61 but it got me thinking. Is there any benefit to put it in my 09 E90 (non-Idrive with Mulf2Hi/TCU) I have Bluetooth, 6FL and BMW assist standard with my car.

Is bluetooth streaming even an option with that 2011 I pulled it from or is it only integrated into the I-drive software? (All my research says must have CIC to have combox to get A2DP)

No bluetooth streaming without Idrive has been the response
here. The rest of the combox works except for that with pro radio.
