Any information about local junkyards in your area with MY2009 3-Series? I'm looking to buy iDrive parts...

LOL. Surely, you had to have known. No?
To the OP, good luck. I'd think it a bit too soon to be seeing '09 cars show up in the junkyard. However, I am very eagerly waiting for a DIY on this.

There's no hurry, as a completely new and much better Voice Activation feature will be out by 09/10 - MY2010. It could be either a new CIC hardware/software of just new iDrive software in the current unit. |

My theory is that because the FSC codes are VIN-based and dependent, once they are loaded into the CIC either the car or the CIC itself will automatically configure themselves to whatever audio devices are connected thru the MOST (TCU, Sirius, MOST OEM amp) so it should work basically as plug 'n play. There's no other coding -much less a vehicle coding- mentioned in the document attached, just that when a CIC is replaced the FSC codes must be loaded for it to work. How the CIC will know which audio devices configuration is present in the car? So it is either thru those FSC codes or thru the Vehicle Order, and both are based on the VIN. Of course, that's my guess. But without the actual hardware and the FSC I cannot prove this at all. How am I going to get the FSC codes? I already asked BMWNA directly if they can provide a custom set for the VIN of my car once I get the hardware... |

Do late model cars even end up in junk yards anymore? I thought they all got bought up and parted out by parts recyclers and used parts dealers. But I suppose these are really just modern-day junk yards in a way.
Good luck with the project Technic, sounds like a pretty big undertaking. |

Probably the largest network fo junkyards in the US. I have seen many late model euro cars at their So Cal facilities.

The main issue is no FSC codes, no CIC worky even in a MY2009... the next issue is convincing BMWNA to create a set for my MY2008 M3 VIN.

I am doing my ED at the moment so I can check if anyone has a way to confirm the new system - all I know is that it's finally easier to speak to the iDrive NAV or system options than it is to key things in with the controller. Oh, and 3D maps FTW! |

Bad news: ... until I checked each P/N. This CIC P/N has been superseded 4 times and the screen P/N twice. Back to searching. |
