Even if you go down the path of NBT, if you don't have certain features then they will not work. The other cool thing about NBT is the display of KW and Torque. Which means you will be looking at the display and not what ahead

Rather than an OEM integration through FSC for CIC, NBT uses an eNBT emulator, which bypasses the whole integration process. I am not a big fan of it. Also a lot of rewiring is involved with NBT where as CIC is PnP.

It's your money and your call. Make a decision. Do some research. The forum is full of early adopters and see what they have to say. When I enquired about NBT a year or so ago, I was quoted about US$3500 for the whole set including all the wiring. You need to add labour on top of it, and given some guys in Perth are charging something like $600 for a rearview camera install, you may be looking at big $$$. Unless you're a skilled DIY guy

big dollars, nah was only kidding, i like the system in there, doesnt bother me that i dont have some features. i did make sure i got the 09 because of the CIC system compared to the old idrive

i have the skill just not the bother

For anyone who cares (and more so for people searching the web)

2009 M3 CIC system - LG G4 phone contacts not syncing .... Downloaded and installed "Bluetooth Auto Connect" from Play Store. Problem solved, contacts transferred.
