CCC to CIC kits currently on market?
Hello all,
Wondering if any progress has been made in the CCC->CIC retrofit market. I know there are one or two manufacturers out there producing kits in the ~$2,000 range; is that about the best it gets? A little while ago there was 'CIC Retrofit' that sold entire plug & play kits for ~$750, but the owner of that company (Nick) decided to move on and no longer sells the kits. I could of course purchase a kit off eBay for ~$500, but I've heard stories of MDM/M-Mode not working correctly afterward, etc etc etc. Am I stuck just purchasing a conversion for $2,000 from someone like BPM? Or are there better options out there? |

I'm in a similar boat. I actually purchased a complete CIC kit off the forum that included the screen, CIC unit, cables and CIC controller. It came off a non M car, but I was told that as long as everything gets coded to my car with my VIN, then all the modes should work as if it came with CIC from the factory. I really hope that's the case. There doesn't seem to be as much info out there as I thought there would be.

Good to know. The guy I bought my CIC kit from referred me to Nick as well. Nick asked me for my VIN, but I haven't heard back from him for a few weeks now. I'm still looking for a CIC center console for a 6MT so I'm being patient in the mean time.

"Dear BMW Community, After making these kits for two years it is come time for me to stop and move on to the next stage in my life. November 1st will be the last day to put your name on my waitlist for a CIC kit. If you own an E60 vehicle I will do my absolute best to source more E60 CIC units but they have been hard to fine since July. E90 CIC units are generally not an issue for me to source. I will be continuing to honor any outstanding warranties on my kits so if you have a warranty issue with your existing kit feel free to contact me after November 1st. Thanks, Nick" Hoping he's still in the business. Seems like the obvious choice considering it's basically plug and play for 1/3rd of the price of other distributors. |

On the plus side, the CCC controller works fine with the CIC system, just won't have the shortcut buttons. |

Well that's good to know. The CIC controller should be be plug and play with the CCC controller correct? If that's the case I could probably install the CIC system, get recoded and then swap the controller at a later date.

I don't think there's any extra coding according to what I've been told. I'm actually looking to install mine soon so I'll find out for sure soon enough.

Is navigation not able to be activated when getting the CIC coded with the new cars VIN? I really hope I didn't waste my money buying this CIC kit.

Is it possible to overwrite the VIN? I don't want any future coding to trip up. Like trying to update all computers in the future. |
