Upgrading to combox telematics but retaining bmw assist
As title. I Have an early CIC with bmw online and BMW assist. I want to fit a combox telematics instead of my tcu but don't want to lose the assist features.
Is there anybody connected enough on here in the BMW world to be able to update the info on BMW's database to what's required so that I can install the combox and still keep my existing services? Thanks.

I used to have a BMW assist account and I honestly don't think it's worth the £110 a year cost.
You get Bmw live with a combox anyway. The only other feature is the concierge system. |

There are no services available for telematics unless you are eligible for the hardware upgrade setup. With combox this will not ever be possible moving forward unless you are buddy's with the CEO of BMW. Why would you want to retain telematics when combox can use the hotspot on your phone for all services except concierge and remote unlock. If you want that stuff just upgrade to NBT.

I use the remote unlock all of the time, that's the feature I like the most and wanted to retain. Does the combox use the phone's 3G connection as it's data link instead? I want to be able to use spotify in the car and control it from the head unit, that's why I was looking at the combox.

Correct sir. You do not need the snap in adapter. I have and old 64gig 4s in my glove box plugged into the iPhone cable with analog outputs. Audio are spliced into aux and video is ran to back of CIC. The 4s uses my iPhone 7's hotspot for connected drive features like internet radio. The 4s is loaded with movies and music so I can access them from iDrive and never touch the phone. I also coded in TV so I can watch Netflix or other apps that use iPhone video out. Netflix is the only reason I actually touch the iPhone. I'm probably going to add bimmertechs smartview next.

Before I go ahead and start ordering, I still need the combox for the playing of videos? Not just the media snap in adaptor? My option list is below if that helps.

i haven't seen pre-combox car with 6NF before, so i do not know, if your baseplate have video out wire
so you might need combox with updated connector housing MEDIA snap-in for 4S cradle for combox 6NF update AUX socket with 6-pin socket for correct audio switching FBAS (3-wire shielded) cable from cradle to CIC

Thank you. Maybe I'll just get the adaptor and give it a try. Those snap in adaptors are not too expensive now for the older iphones. If there's a possibility it could work then it's worth a try.
My car is a bit of an oddball I think. Must be one of the earlier cars to end up with CIC. Shame I missed out on the combox.

It's only the video wires for 6nf, nothing more.

Sorry for so many questions, but there seems to be a ton of knowledge on here regarding idrive so I'd like to get as much info as possible.
So even though I have 6nf, I may not have the video feed from the snap in adaptor to the cic? And if I get the video feed installed, I don't need a combox to watch the video? Thanks again.

Has anybody managed to just code a composite video-in/audio in to cic without the combox? It strikes me this could be quite handy too. It's a shame cic wont play video media files straight off of usb.
