According to this video, unless you use the full iDrive harness on the Carsara box, plugged directly to the iDrive controller, you lose the ability to code the CIC. I (and I assume most others with this) have just plugged the 2 can cables in the main harness together, which works but gets the iDrive controls from the canbus.

Now that so many others bought the box I'm interested to hear the consensus on audio compared to other methods.

Yes it looks like it. My box (CIC not NBT) did not have that 360 Camera input that he shows, but Carsara shows it in their latest description though, but I suspect this might be something only used if you order the NBT 2012+ config?
I didn't watch that video enough to see what year he was setting up the device for if it was 2012+ that'd make sense.

Not sure which unit they have on Ebay. The one from Aliexpress got to me in just about 2 weeks, so shipping wasn't bad. The camera I ordered on the other hand still seems to be stuck in US customs so that was a waste of money.

BTW, in one of the comments in the video, the reviewer mentions that there is an AUX input in the back of the CIC headunit: "This one is mint. Sound is spot on. But it's one of the newer more expensive units. That said, one thing we did do, it is connected to the aux in the back of the CIC unit. This reduces the length of that audio cable which in turn reduces the chance of interference. Were you connecting to the aux in in the centre console by any chance?" I don't recall seeing an AUX input in the back of my head unit when I did the Kremersino v1 install, but it's been over a year so I don't recall exactly. Did anyone notice one who did a recent install?

There's no extra connector, these pins seem to run through the quad lock but are disabled when you have a car with the MULF or Combox. This is the pin out I posted a few pages back. https://pinoutguide.com/Car-Stereo-A...n_pinout.shtml If someone manages to sort it out and it doesn't require tearing the entire system back apart to code the CIC maybe I'd try it.

I believe so, although I don't think it's individual audio that makes the difference. The headunit can accept aux via the harness, but if you have 6FL aux/usb via the combox the sound will only come via the armrest (crappy) aux input.

You can enable HU AUX via coding but you’ll loose AUX and USB on the armrest. I’ve done it today on my 13’ F30 with COMBOX using BimmerCode app.
You have to set this codes: CDMM_AUX_HU aktiv CDMM_USB_AUDIO_SINGLE nicht_aktiv CDMM_USB_AUDIO_DOUBLE_0B nicht_aktiv |

Where does the hu aux plug in? Do you need to wire a headphone jack to certain pins in the quad lock?

Very interesting - does Bluetooth audio still work via Combox? I'll check it Bimmercode, it looks easier than NCS Expert etc
