    Hey, did anyone find any audio installers to recommend? I'm looking to upgrade my audio in a Sprinter van, have everything bought and a bit of the electrics done, but would like someone who knows their audio (in terms of impedance, gain level, sensitivity etc) to help with the rest!

    Had a look at those guys but they dont seem to have a unit for e60/61.

    I could get one off aliexpress or andream but I've never bought from either & I'm not sure if it's worth the risk .Also Aliexpress say if I order from EU stock I dont pay vat etc. Just sound iffy

    I am running an Andream unit in my F10 and its been reliable so far in the 12 months or so that I have owned it. Had an issue with screen blanking initially but reached out to the support team and new software update resolved it.

    So was that off the andream website you bought it?

    Was it easy to install it? I am considering to get a unit like this. Is it reliable? Thank you for your time.

    If you are any way handy with removing some trim and panels then its quite straightforward. No issues so far with mine.

    Yep, M-Coding in Clonmel. They did a 6WB for me in a 2016 F36. I did enquire about it and i think it was about 700 including the head unit. I have ID4 so i wont bother getting a 6

    Ha! No i was just very happy with the service. It was costing 1300 from GA coding from the UK all in so saved a bit of money and didn't have to do it remotely.

    Sorry to dig this thread up but I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully retrofitted CIC?
    I have an e92 that came with CCC and that unit failed just before Christmas. I have got a CIC system with screen and controller. It's from an F series car so I'll have to get creative with the LCD screen to fit it in the e90 housing I have.
    Waiting on cables to be delivered but I haven't ordered an emulator. Hoping to get around the emulator with some coding but can't find a definitive answer as to whether that's possible.

    I installed this Apple CarPlay unit today into my 2011 F10. Very impressed so far and allows full wireless Carplay or wired Android Auto. Time will tell if its buggy or not but first impressions are good at least.
