Full Idrive Retrofit

ASAP · 10-05-2014, 11:18 AM

Has anyone done a OEM full navigation retrofit if you have never had idrive? I know it requires a different dash. Does anyone sell a full kit?

I've done it, look four threads down.

You only need to cut a whole for the Nav screen. The entire retrofit can be done. But its not cheap at around 2K euros parts and labor.

The climate controls doesn't fit that good if you don't change the dash, but other than that it's working fine.

I haven't changed mine, but the climate panel thing is quite annoying, so I've sourced a "new" dash from eBay from a car with factory fitted iDrive.

Don't bother going CIC. Do the NBT retrofit. You will love your life a million times more.
