Upgraded Electronics Project Complete

I just finished modernizing my 2006 650 with upgraded electronics. Replaced the CCC with a CIC, new screen, new iDrive controller, backup camera and MMI that provides CarPlay. Purchased the kit from BimmerTech. Very pleased with the end result. Makes the car feel almost new again.

Headunit from Wakaa $339 and an AUX cable from amazon $8,

the reason I did it was ever since I got my iphone11 a few years ago, my blue tooth stop working... and I really want to use carplay so I can use maps from my phone. Keep in mind, I have NO AUX to start with, so it's a 2 step process...The only imperfection is that the music coming from the new unit is through AUX, which is only L/R, the sound quality is not as rich as original BMW (FM/CD etc), which I can still use with no problem.
In case you wonder, I didn't buy a backup camera($20 extra but lots of work routing the wire) since mine is a convertible, who needs that while I can turn my head
