I've had it retrofitted but it's much cheaper to order it as an option - wasn't available as an option when mine was ordered

Hi,
Long time lurker here. Could someone take a look at this list and tell me if it's possible for me to retrofit 6NR without the need for any further hardware/cabling DIY? I really regret not taking it now for the price as the BMW music interface is somewhat lacking compared to what Apple offer. They should really pimp the Apple side of it more as I just saw it as a gimmick and jumping on the Twitter/Facebook bandwagon.

All the coding has to be done remotely - it's the only way unless you pay BMW to do it. See this thread for some more details

Could someone clear up for me what is required to get video from the iPhone to the iDrive screen? No Apps malarky for the moment. At the moment I don't have the 6NF base plate but I do have 6NK (Bluetooth + USB) which seems to be a professional version of 6FL (or?). If I was to replace the base plate, would this get me anywhere, video wise? Will I really need to remove car seats in order to run a USB cable back to the COMBOX in the boot? Is there someway to get video without the snap-in adapter?

If you don't have 6NF, you'll also need a different USB port for your armrest that has an AV port and a USB (rather than AUX and USB as you have now). This also means you won't have access to 6NR in the cradle - only when connected to the AV/USB port You will also need to have the car coded, and depending on your build date, you may need the iDrive software updated first as well. The only work on the combox is switching a USB port - no wiring

Thanks sfax. You already shared your 6NR upgrade experience with me and the thought of anything not fitting back correctly after the retrofit puts me off doing it It would suit me fine if I was able to have the video from iPhone over the USB port. Don't fancy shelling out 160€ for a media cradle.
If only I could find some instructions explaining which parts of the panels to pry and pull, etc. I'm looking for a service manual to see if it sheds any light but can't seem to locate any online. Any ideas where I might find one? The realoem website is fine for diagrams but doesn't have enough details for my needs really. |

I did some searching online and looked on youtube but couldn't find anything. If you can't find anything online, you may be able to contact a company that does Bluetooth/telephone installations for BMWs. They'll have the expertise and if they're nice they may just show you which panels and how to remove them.
