Now that I know you can I'd defiantly prefer the oem flip screen.

I have the Bluetooth calls feature for my car which is great it's just a shame I can't do Bluetooth music which is what I really want

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to retrofit the idrive? Just ball park? More than £500?
Yeah I love the CarPlay option and then keeping the OE look.

Cost wise it was about £800, but it could be done cheaper, 1 because you already have Bluetooth (which is excellent ) and 2 if you really look around to find the bargains. There are ways and means to make it more cost effective.

Some parts are a little harder to find than others, and the best way is to get it all from one car that is being broken, although they might then charge more.
