Retrofitting CIC
Hello everyone,
I would like to take on a side project, to retrofit CIC on my Z4. Has anyone did this or find a guide on how to do this? Right now, I am at the "drawing board" status, came up with the following plan: 1. Remove the console between the passanger seats so I can add the wiring and the "remote knob" 2. Remove the CCC controler 3. Remove the top storage space and place the screen 4. Link the screen to the CIC controler 5. <TODO> <- Gotta find out how to get cables for the parking sensors (and camera) from the back and from the front of the vehicle to the CIC As well, is anyone selling a CIC system? knob + controller + screen + wiring + parking sensors & camera (please message me!) |

Not really sure what you currently have but I'm not aware of CCC in an e89 Z4. If you don't have CIC iDrive then you'll have a Professional standard head unit that you'll also need to replace.
If you buy a ready made retrofit kit then you're looking at $2000 plus. Its straight forward to fit everything but a lit of hassle to sort all the options out. Another option is the addition of the new Android touchscreen unit that sits where the iDrive screen fits and connects into the car's existing radio system, all for around $700 and its plug-n-play Last edited by DavesZed; 02-16-2019 at 10:11 AM.. |

As I see you are in Romania then AVIN USA may not be the best place for you to buy it (not that theirs is actually on sale just yet), then a-carnavi.com will probably be better for you, but I am told that they have European distributers. It's a bit of wait and see as the manufacture (a-carnavi) isn't actually advertising it just yet. I will be having one of these units, I'm currently talking to them to have one as soon as possible and will be producing a How-To guide and video for it, hopefully within the next month or so. So if you can wait for a little bit longer then I'll be supplying as much info as you could possibly want

If you have nav then you have CIC. All the head units were called Professional for the e89, and you have Pro Nav (Professional Navigation) |
