What do I need for COMBOX retrofit?

I have searched but only found posts in which people are trying to retrofit older cars. I have a 2011 328i with iDrive and my car doesn't have A2DP. What do I need to do a Combox retrofit since my car already has a Combox just not the right one? Is it a simple swap? Is a Viseeo WMA1000 a better option than a retrofit? Why?

Keep in mind I have an android phone so I am looking for the best android solution. Kind of ridiculous that my gf's 5 year old Corolla can play Bluetooth music and my Beamer can't. Thanks for your advice!

Does your car has Navigation?

If not then having a Combox (retrofitted or not) will not give you A2DP.

Please contact forum vendor BimmerTech for details on the Combox swap.
