What's involved in retrofitting Logic 7?

Friend is parting out a car, I'm thinking about pulling the Logic 7 components.

08 335i with iDrive
to
09 328iT without iDrive

Questions
-Do iDrive and iDrive cars use the same logic 7 system?
-anyone have the official BMW instructions for this retrofit?
-better yet, anyone have a DIY thread or even just outline (I don't need step by step how to remove door cards, etc, just what components need to be swapped, what pins need to be moved, what harnesses/brackets are required)?
-if it's really infeasible, what about just pulling the under seats sub woofers and/or door card speakers? What would be involved in getting them to work with the "HiFi" setup in the e91?

I don't mind a big project (I rebuild my M5 engine this summer myself, and have a very unusual stereo setup in the M3), I just can't seem to find any guide to what actually needs to be done here.

Thanks!

Don't do it, not worth the trouble.

What is the trouble?

And...
Are the speakers a plug and play swap (if I don't do all of it)? Can the under seat subs be made to work?

I also agree don't do it. Contact musicar nw. If you can get them to answer the phone they can set you up with a complete system that will outperform the logic 7 system for less money.

Price: free

Anyone have an answer on retrofitting the subs and speakers, but not entire system?

FYI look at this

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ghlight=idrive

A lot of work to say the least.
And like they said there is better stuff if your going
to this much trouble.

Any car with Hi Fi is and easy upgrade.
Amp and speakers are what you need.
