I believe you are looking at $3k to $4k in parts before labor to install. This is quite literally a computer buried in your dashboard and requires replacing the screen and several control modules. Replacing the screen is actually a good thing as the new one is bigger and higher resolution. This assumes you can find a compatible kit for our style car, or you are able to get all of the part numbers from a later model car and make them fit (probably wise to go with 2010 the first year of the new gen idrive in the X6). Then you need someone to code the whole car as the idrive it essentially the "brain." Going the later model part number route could be risky (riskier than attempting this in general). You could essentially 'brick' your car. :eeps:
In idrive terminology you are looking at going from the CCC system to the CIC system.
One of the reasons i had some info at hand was my own curiosity in how feasible this was. I decided it wasn't a top priority given the price and risk. I making some other updates first...

Most of our customers decide to install our CIC retrofit kits themselves so it's not really complicated but we also have installers across the USA including Dallas, TX :thumbup:
