So im looking to get a e89 soon and ive enquired with several companies about getting Apple Carplay installed. A company down in Nottingham has advised that it can be done, using the link below
https://www.carelectronicsnottingham.co ... 5-x-series
Now im not too sure what CIC stands for but he did say that the E89 has it, but further research has brought up E89s with and without the iDrive knob.
I guess my question is, do all E89 Z4s come with CIC(?) or do only those with the iDrive knob have CIC?
With Knob :
Without Knob :
EDIT :
This website below seems to suggest all E89s have CIC, if so, is the only difference between the two above having a physical knob and the other having just a storage compartment in its place?

No iDrive knob means no iDrive is fitted, just a standard head unit and no pop-up screen, sat nav etc. CIC is just the version of iDrive that E89's have if it was specced as an option, there have been 3 versions of iDrive since it's original release I believe.

If you find the right Z4, at the right price, with everything you desire apart from the iDrive system, don't worry as you can fit an Android touchscreen system to the standard headunit complete with the Apple Carplay adaptor.
Have a look at this video I made on the Carplay for my Android screen..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc0FoLMNY5w&t=1s
If you want anymore info on this system then just give me a shout and I can help you

E89 20i Apple Carplay Retrofit
Hiya! Believe or not ive actually come across your video shortly before I posted on here. What was the total cost of the system by the way? Im not too comfortable installing it myself either, would that be something you would be willing to help me with?AnubisZed wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 4:25 pm If you find the right Z4, at the right price, with everything you desire apart from the iDrive system, don't worry as you can fit an Android touchscreen system to the standard headunit complete with the Apple Carplay adaptor.

Approx cost was about £670 (Approx due to exchange rates etc, I can link you to the right place!) + £30 for the Carplay dongle (UK eBay). As for fitting, well that's something I can do for you
Some more info here... viewtopic.php?f=23&t=111965

I’m not in any rush to buy a Z4 till my lease is up in 3 months so I might take you up on the offer then! Just out of curiosity, do you have a link to purchase it? I can’t seem to find one other than the group buy you promoted once before?AnubisZed wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:42 pmGood afternoon.lucazkoh wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:06 pmHiya!

It states that it's Android 9, 6 core processor and 4GB ram and running the new ID7 UI (as well as NBT, ID5 and ID6).
It also states that for an extra $25 you can have Carplay built-in, but I'd contact them and get this confirmed first though...
