Upgrading to a combox

I found a combox on eBay and I want to install it in my 2013 x3. I didn't get the upgraded Bluetooth and I am now regretting it because of the extra features. Does the upgraded combox straight replace the standard box or do I need some sort of adapter?

Please advise
Thanks

I can code so I am not worried about that portion either. After the combox I plan on doing a CIC retrofit with the larger screen and the nav

I haven't looked for it in my X3 but they are usually in the trunk. I believe it's under the floor or on the driver's side wall of the trunk.

I know the hifi amp is on the driver side quarter panel. I don't remember seeing anything else over there. On the passenger side quater panel was just wires
