GUYS BE WARNED THIS IS A VERY RAW AND TECHNICAL VIDEO, IVE HAD LOADS OF REQUEST FOR THIS SO THERE A LOT LESS MUSIC, MORE EXPLAINING AND MORE OF A STEP BY STEP FOR ANYONE WANTING TO DO THIS AT HOME. HOPE YOU ENJOY.
I don't know what is more impressive, the fact you pulled this off or the fact that you took apart pretty much the whole of the dash and put it back together and it works. Nice job! (great quality video too :-)
New follower, Just got a spare 320i with big head unit to put into my originally 318d SE which now boosted to 250hp ❤ Found everything I needed in this video and can't wait to watch more of them. Thanks
Damn, that's a hell of a good job. Well done man. This retrofit crossed my mind since I also have a non-idrive pre lci E92 but I don't have the balls or knowledge to do it. Was great to finally see someone do it though, great job once again!
Hi Dee another quality vlog interesting and very informative defo the best channel on TH-cam by miles and it’s growing daily 😀I’ll be entering the raffle for sure keep up the good work and content.Salvage Nation rocks😀🏴
Where does the idrive controller connect to from factory?.. where are the 12v, ground plus can hi and can low? Just wondered if there was a more factory way of doing that as screen wiring does. Thanks
Check the boot lid from the inside , should see a little plastic handle stuck down on the grey carpet attached to like a metal wire , tug on that and it should pop open ..
This video is so helpfull my man thanks i have just bought all the parts i need to do this i just need to figure out where to find the constant power for the idrive controller
@@SALVAGENATION my brother thanks to you i was able to install the cic kit into my car but im faced with the issue where the head unit i have does not have bluetooth built in and my car never had a tcu or mulf to fitting a combox would not be easy. what would you suggest so i can get the phone functionality back?
Yoooooo! Doing big things homie! Small world you're from the endz. E5 to E9. I also have a e92 lci but m sports plus. I just need to fix the audio. I had a trespasser in my whip few weeks back. An they managed to take out. The air ducts from front of car/lower grill area. Plus audio sound not as punchy before. They've open up a panel from my firewall glove box area with a wire a sticking out. So sound less punchy. But keep doing you! Levels! I hope I have more time to get into these particulars.
Excellent content, info, tips and of course the job itself! I extra liked the fact that you were working alone and without the confort of a garage or nice shop! 👏 Could you make a rough estimation of the total value in parts for this retrofit? Only the CIC head unit with the screen (both 2nd hand, OC) is like 700-800 EUR now in NOV-2022.
Hey. Stumbled across your channel and boy this is top quality content. I have a E92 320 M Sport without the I Drive system and would LOVE this. I admire your technical skills. I'm learning bit by bit. I've remapped mine and thinking of other customisations like the I Drive..Where would I start with sourcing donor parts? Scrap yards?
So what if you have another e92 with the idrive with all the parts would you need to redo the wiring or just completely transfer everything over? Since the electronic connector in the fuse box is the same.
hey man, i got a problem with my cic controller, i wired every cable, i got permanent plus, good ground, and voltage on my CAN wires, yet the controller is still not working. would you know why? or is there any tricks to make it work?
Awesome video man! Quick question though. I'm essentially doing the reverse of this conversation and deleting the Idrive on my 2012 E82 135i track car project, and all the wiring/routing is identical to the car in this video. For vehicles like mine that were equipped with the CIC Idrive from the factory though, is the harness/connector for the Idrive controller actually spliced into the main harness like how you installed it in the video? Or does the controller have its own independent harness going to the navigation screen that is simply bundled and taped together with the main harness? I've been under the impression I wouldn't have to modify any of the remaining wires, but if the controller harness is spliced in then removing it could prove to be a massive headache
Nice video! But where did the dvd drive connect to? Did it go into the orginal wiring for the radio? I wanna install the idrive in my 06 E87 but not sure if its worth the job and money. Just trying to find out how much work it is for now regarding the wiring and stuff. Im not afraid of repinning stuff, done alot of retrofits and really enjoy it. But not sure if its worth putting all this work into the car.. 😛 Even to i love doing stuff like this.
sweet vid. Where can we find out what size wire to use? The pin out/schematic for the wiring locations? and what crimps to use in those connectors? Thanks dude
Your videos are super , keep up posting !!! Can you please help, after watching your video I want to carry this out to my e93, the only problem is I cannot find a centre console for the CIC controller that also has the roof switch. Have you any guidance you can give me please? Respect !!!
Broo you smashed it with this video! just a couple questions really as i do not have the luxury of a donor car. do you have the pin out on the junction box plug? as well as the required plugs i'll need to order from BMW?
Hey mate, is it mandatory to run power and ground for screen through the fuse panel or is it okay to just tap off the main quadrolock connector for the head unit? Great content!
I have a question brother, since you've been working with BMW's for so long I thought it'd be best to ask you for help instead of going to a dealer or mechanic that'll get back with a simple "Bring it in we'll fix it for you" response ... My iDrive hasn't been working for a while (around a year) and I've tried the hard reset with pressing and holding the 3 buttons on the DVD unit but to no avail. Different sources/videos recommend replacing your CCC unit and others say it could just be your iDrive screen. What do you recommend? The screen flashes white upon startup, goes black and flashes white maybe every 20 - 30 seconds. Used to work just fine, everything functioned but it just stopped out of the blue (used to fully work every day or so with the occasional flash but now it just flashes). Really miss using my aux input, I'm getting sick of using a bluetooth speaker lol. If there's anything I could try without diving straight into the main components that would be awesome i.e fuses, adaptors or even if it's possible to just hardwire an external amp and headunit to the car speaker themselves instead of having to use the iDrive that would highly be appreciated ... or something like that 😅 BMW 325i E90 2005 TIA Bruce
Unfortunately its common for those old CCC units to fail. And by the sounds of it it seems like it has. You can replace the CCC fairly cheap by getting on on eBay or u can upgrade to the CIC and have nav, bluetooth streaming etc
Bro love what you're doing man great stuff. quick question I'm looking to get a 3 series in the summer (hopefully if insurance dont take the piss 😂). I'm sweet with the handy work like taking the dash off and that but terrible with wiring and soldering. Do you know of they have like plug in kits for the idrive to work ? And love the idea of the raffle definitely need to enter that 💯

Good work brother . Did a Amazing Job , Keep the uploads coming 💪🏽🚨
Amazing work, you got mad skills, highly inspiring!
I want to do this but I can’t find any idrive systems that come with the harness can you help bro?
Can't you just run the wire the controller wires to the same wires as the screen. Like tap it from the connect? Will it work?
Dude you create so much quality content your followers should be a million by now. No short cuts with your work. Another good one Dee.

This channel has loads of ❤️
This video is so helpfull my man thanks i have just bought all the parts i need to do this i just need to figure out where to find the constant power for the idrive controller
Its easy, constant power you can locate with a tester and just switch the ignition one or off.

What a great video, the process nicely explained! gave me so much confidence into doing this myself, thank you man!

Hey my G,this Reagan from Wolverhampton.
Just a quick one to know,
What your experience about "anhanced vehicle"on copart
Brother, have you got a full retrofit available for a non I drive? E90?
I have a question brother, since you've been working with BMW's for so long I thought it'd be best to ask you for help instead of going to a dealer or mechanic that'll get back with a simple "Bring it in we'll fix it for you" response ...
My iDrive hasn't been working for a while (around a year) and I've tried the hard reset with pressing and holding the 3 buttons on the DVD unit but to no avail.
Different sources/videos recommend replacing your CCC unit and others say it could just be your iDrive screen.
What do you recommend?
The screen flashes white upon startup, goes black and flashes white maybe every 20 - 30 seconds.
Used to work just fine, everything functioned but it just stopped out of the blue (used to fully work every day or so with the occasional flash but now it just flashes).
Really miss using my aux input, I'm getting sick of using a bluetooth speaker lol.

Unfortunately its common for those old CCC units to fail. And by the sounds of it it seems like it has.
You can replace the CCC fairly cheap by getting on on eBay or u can upgrade to the CIC and have nav, bluetooth streaming etc
Bro love what you're doing man great stuff. quick question I'm looking to get a 3 series in the summer (hopefully if insurance dont take the piss 😂). I'm sweet with the handy work like taking the dash off and that but terrible with wiring and soldering. Do you know of they have like plug in kits for the idrive to work ?
And love the idea of the raffle definitely need to enter that 💯
No plug in kits, but u can buy the piggy back clips that u just squeeze
I really wanna do this to my e93
Hi Dee, do you know of any shops offering this service?
Nah just me
could I change a CCC version to a CIC
Thays even easier, get the parts and come see me
Hey, does it work with the CCC system? same install? Thanks
Its the better install actually with ccc the wires are there already, but you need to re-pin the screen, and combx connectors.
What are the differences between this and a android one, I mean what can the original do that the android one doesn't do?
Android does more yes but the oem set up just flows better especially when selling the car.
U didn't show the most important where exactly to pin them
Yo dee I need some advice I got a e60 530i I have the ccc idrive and I want to upgrade it what would you recommend?
Easy!!! Just got for cic like mine but for the cic, with a combox added!!! Orrrrr u can upgrade to the NBT SYSTEM.
Cool bro I like into them both 👊🏾
Look*
Was the cic unit you used remanufactured or was it from a donor car? Cheers mate
Ha, you mentioned at the end, should have waited till the end, this is awesome info! Thank you!
Donor.
I thought this was impossible imma buy the parts and try find someone to do this
I did this mod but for some reason my nav is greyed out
U need an activator/can filter box 📦
@@SALVAGENATION where can I get something like that
How much would u charge to do this to my e90
