Combox Retrofit From E9X to E60 for Bluetooth Music Streaming, etc.....DIY?

[vernors]

I've been researching a combox install for a 2010 535i, with CIC, and so far have found a lot of forum posts for an E9X Combox upgrade, but no clear walkthrough for an E60. It's entirely possibly my research skills are crap, has anyone done this upgrade? Did you put together a walk through, or from which DIY post did you work? Do you get clear bluetooth music streaming? I've heard it also enables a back up camera, all-time dvd playing, on-screen SMS and more. True?

From what I've heard I need a 2009 to 2013 E9x combox.....

Also, I spoke with Alex over at Alpinemss.com, he can program the combox/idrive system so that everything works. Apparently he usually remote's in via your laptop and programs it while you watch.

Any thoughts, walk through suggestions or advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Does anyone know what kind of connector is used in the "rear" port of the Multimedia Unit? (it is a 5 pin connector) mine broke and I don't know how to find it
