Interresting to see your effort in that direction, as I'm precisely going away from my iDrive.
I don't have the Combox, so no bluetooth nor album covers...

I like the "vanilla" and OEM style, but to me the Navi is clearly outdated, and my main motivation was to get Waze on a real screen (bored of sticking my phone on the air vent).

So I juste installed last week a freshly received Android 10 Head Unit, and I'm pretty happy with it

But yeah...no flip screen anymore...

For your info, there is a 4-pin wire at the back of the screen, to control the motor I guess. Video signal is handled through the LVDS connector I think.
It's going to be an interesting project, but I'm sure I'll be happy with it in the end

Did you go with the add-on Android screen on top of the dash? Or did you replace the actual headunit?
