As stated above, you will need a new CIC post-MY2010, for sure MY2011.5+.

The CIC has its own Voice Control built-in and activated via FSC. So I do not think that retrofitting the Combox to your 2009 CIC will give you the Nuance voice control for the Navigation as it is a Telephone module. At least not for free.

Thanks for the reply folks. You've given me a name to search for... and it sounds like it's 2011+! Thanks.


Edit: Apparently the latest Combox has this functionality.


Features of the Combox Media retrofit:
- Album art covers (over USB port in the armrest)
- Bluetooth Audio
- Office menu (for iPhone only Contacts are currently available, other phones can have text messages, Calendar, Tasks, Emails, etc.)
- Navigation map Satellite View
- New version of the Voice Control powered by Nuance including One-Shot Destination Entry feature
- Internet and BMW Live* (Optional. Please check the available options)
