Can a central control unit be retrofitted in a E90 without Navigation?
Can it be used to control a professional radio, phone, ipod, etc...?

I couldn't find any results during a search. I could be searching wrong though.

could you provide an example of what you mean by central control unit?

Do you mean I drive/Nav?

The above would replace the pro radio off course.
Next easiest thing would be a Dynavin N6.
Big threads on that here .

Idrive/Nav is basically
Expensive and not practical.

The new ones have the options integrated into them
called the NBT.

There are sub forums here for specific sections of the car that
are most useful

What are you trying to accomplish and
what is the year and option list for your car especially with the audio section.

ctuna and cdgatti I want to know if the center console wheel control can be used with professional radio to control the radio, phone, iPod, etc...

This is the unit I'm talking about.



I drive a 2008 328i E90 sedan with the Bluetooth ULF & aux/usb in the center armrest.

No you need the idrive/navi unit and screen.
Which contains the Nav/radio for the idrive setup.
That is what its designed to work with.
The pro radio has no remote functions.
That is the idrive controller.
