Basic Idrive CIC options

First post on here as a recent F25 owner

I've just bought an approved used 2012 X3 here in the UK but it has the most basic ICE system. No phone bluetooth. No USB interface in the glovebox, only an aux in. No Nav. Np combox in the boot.

As the dealer gave me a 24month BMW approved used warranty as part of the deal, im reluctant to start pulling apart the CIC unit. All I really need is a USB interface so I can power/hear my phone through the current setup.

Does the basic CIC unit have any OEM upgrades a dealer could carry out to improve things? For example, add the USB input into the glovebox? One other option is to get BMW to add a power outlet to the glovebox so I can use a 3rd party bluetooth dongle in there.

Also, can you swap the screens over without any coding? For example, I have the small screen. Can I buy a widescreen and simply plug and play, or will it require coding etc? Suppose that may void the warranty too

Any advice/options much appreciated
