Technic-
Is the WDS available yet for LCI/CIC cars? If so...it'd be fairly easy to track down where the USB cable goes. I gotta believe if that you/we/I buy a salvage CIC, we can mandate that they chop out the new "special" CID cable as a retrofit is unusable without it..

Without those two cables any thinking about a new iDrive retrofit is impossible.
I need to find a junkyard with late model cars with some MY2009 3 Series iDrive parts to see if I can get at least those cables from the OEM harness. The rest of the parts are no problem to get at all.
