That's right, no individual component can be updated. The whole car needs to be brought to the present level. Every dealer has the latest SW version through the dealer portal from BMW Germany. When the car is plugged in the list of updaes are listed and the time taken to update is presented.

My car is E92 Jan/2008 version.
I orderd a new controller and I tested it but the new controller didn't work with my car!! I asked to my dealer to update the softeware but they don't want to do the job. If someone needs a new controller, PM me. PN: 65 82 9 213 309 |

Unless there is something wrong and the car is doing something it shouldn't be, the dealer will not bring the car to the current integration level. That's the directive from BMW.
Having said that, the cars produced between Oct '08 and March'09, and anyone who had their sw upgraded by dealer during that period, will have a buggy software, which forces the CCC to shut down without notice for a lengthy periods. Also you will have issues with SOS function. If anyone had any of these issues should demand that the sw to brought to the current integration level. The current integration level is the most stable for the E9x series. So there you go, you have a valid reason to request for warranty sw upgrade. I think there is a SB on this if I am not mistaken.

Go to another dealer and don't mention the new controller. I got my M3 updated yesterday for no specific complaint, and when the dealer checked two pages of updates were required.

What specific tools do I need to do this? Could you expand a little more on this topic? Hardware (BavTech cable?), software (BMW website?). |

I have voiced my concern over this in the past on the idrive retrofit forum. I have been concerned that doing a 2nd-gen retrofit without the car "authorized" for those part numbers will be a major stumbling block. I had similar issues when I got a incorrect region (ECE) CCC on my US car... SSS/Progman refused to program my car since the part numbers were incorrect for my application.
Unless BMW releases an official "retrofit" or changes their software to allow this mis-matched controller part number to work, their software will not program around this. Changing the VO doesn't help since the VO doesn't change based on the difference of controllers...609 is the only option, and thats just for nav in general, both 1st gen and the LCI 2nd gen. From what I understand (but haven't used it myself) is that Autologic can see past this p/n issue and will force programming on all other modules. (problem is that CON is programmable and takes updates too.) Best bet for those who are putting this controller in is to keep your old controller and trim so that the car can be programmed, just in case. The good news is that is takes like 90 seconds (and requires no tools) to make a trim/controller swap. Quote:

All the new iDrive parts had to be swapped -CIC, HD Screen and Controller in about 30 minutes- with the old iDrive parts before any coding could be performed. I have stated this issue several times in several threads as a warning to any -not only this new iDrive- retrofit that it is not OEM approved/supported: the days of the E46-PnP OEM retrofits ended with the E46. Don't be confused with retrofits that seem to work PnP, that's completely different from an OEM software integration. Any E9x retrofit requires to go thru an OEM software integration process or a software update cannot performed. That OEM software integration allows the update/change of the respective modules P/N of the Vehicle Order file but only if this new module P/N is already part of the OEM list of superceded parts database. In other words, if the update process does not include those added/changed/superceded P/N's in their database (be in the retrofit path or just regular part upgrades database) then they cannot be added/changed by any other OEM means, much less by a dealer and much less by a customer. There are non-OEM methods to override the OEM software integration but these are very dangerous methods that can mess up you car in a matter of minutes if done wrong, and even void the whole electrical warranty in the car as software mismatches will be created when different module P/N require specific software versions that were not expected to be installed in the same vehicle. You need to be extremely knowledgeable to even go this route, and especially willing to sacrifice your warranty if the worst happens. Again, that's the reason I do not want any change of VO and just do a "stand-alone" retrofit that it is easily swapped with the original parts. |

My dealer updated my car in Nov when I brought it in for its 15k service without any problem and I have done the retrofit. Could it be the problems you're having is because you're doing a semi DIY upgrade yourself vs. having the dealer do it themselves? My service advisor said they updated everything to the latest software and although the computer took a little longer and they had to reset some things no other problems. So maybe that may be the problem as I guess sometimes service advisors and managers can be "particular" in what they will do for customer's car sometimes especially when they have done upgrades or DIY work.
Anyway my car runs fine...so far...fingers crossed! Good luck!

Perhaps your dealer performed some "special" routine (most probably with the help of the regional rep) that allowed them to override the presence of the new iDrive controller, but definitely ISTA/P knows that the iDrive controller is not the one listed in your VO. |

Just completed this mod. Took less than 30 thanks to OP pics/instructions. LOVE IT! Also, thanks to Evan at Tischer for providing the parts.
Forgot an important piece of info 4/08 production date. and I might have had software upgrade because I had OEM alarm installed.

Anyone in the NYC got this mod that I could test out before I make the jump ? I have a 03/08 which seems to put me right in the middle of the software update period, i'm very hesitant to do this unless I can try it first.

The SSS/Progman still refuse to update the P/N when you retrofit CIC controller in CCC iDrive?
I'm also doing self coding by NCS Expert. Will it be affected? Quote:

Hey guys, I'm thinking of doing this upgrade as well.
I have a 03/08 production M3 E92 Coupe with M-DCT. Pretty sure I have the newer iDrive hardware as I do have features such as Google Send-to-Car and other features apparently only available on 03/08 or newer cars. Plus I have had updates since so I believe my software is pretty up-to-date. However is there a way for me to confirm my 03/08 will take the upgraded controller? Evan is quoting me part number 51167903962 for the console trim, and 65829240956 for the controller. Sound right to you guys? Thanks! |

I've been trying to do this, but no luck.. I went to the dealer and had the car updated with whatever the earliest update they had here in Japan, and after the update I connected the controller still same problem. all the shortcut buttons work, and up,down,left,and right works. The pressing the dial in(to select/enter)works except the dial to scroll don't work.
Can anyone help me with this? BTW, the Japanese model CCC have navigation hdd drive in the trunk. maybe this difference causes this?

Bit the bullet and went for this mod myself. My vehicle is a 03/08 production E92 M3 with DCT, likely the first production run for DCT cars. I've had the software updated many times due to DCT related issues, and the last update was in September 2010 due to some "recall". So figuring my car was pretty up-to-date I assumed this upgrade would work, and it did!
Got the parts from Tisher for only $450.. they even have a "kit" with the new console trim and the controller. PK09IDRIVEDCT - OEM BMW 2009 iDrive Upgrade Kit for E90/92/93 M3's - $450.00 Very easy to install, removed the shift boot, pulled up the shift knob, unplugged the shift knob electrical, and then pulled up on the console using the shifter hole. Unplugged a few wires underneath and the whole console was in my living room in no time. Swapped the various bits and ashtray to the new console (it came with a new ashtray lid) and plugged everything back into the car and it all just worked! Very nice upgrade and love how the new controller glows orange at night. |

I had this mod completed today.
I did require a firmware update, which took six hours and was done by BMW Sytner Leicester. However, at the end they told me the new controller was incompatible! I decided to try myself by re-booting the system (turn the car off!) and re-connecting the controller and it was fine! Sometimes these dealerships are just TOO clever and will baffle you with all sorts of techspeak! |

CIC for my BMW 535d 2008
Hello, can you take me information for change the CCC of my 535d 2008 to the CIC bundel. BMW france say "you can't install CIC on your car because you car haven't connector compatible with the CIC" i see on post the CIC must be programmed. Does this pose a risk to the operation of the car? Is there someone seriously who does? What is the price for the full pack with emulator ?

Is the small plastic trim around the controller part of the console cover, or a separate piece? I've checked online microfiche and it appears to be a different part? Wouldn't that allow cutting the old-style console cover, using the trim/"frame", to properly fit the new controller?
