Hi everyone,
We had a pleasure to work on a 2011 US spec F10 yesterday.
The owner bought the car with the standard 7" screen, which means no Navigation and no related features available.
One of our installers is located in Kearny, NJ so for this particular customer living also in NJ we could provide a very convenient installation location.
The up-to-date list of our installers/dealers can be found at

The CIC Navigation retrofit kit for this F10 included the following parts:
- 10,2" screen
- CIC head unit
- USB port with cable
- GPS antenna extension cable
Additionally full retrofit coding and OEM Navigation activation with the latest North America map was included.
We started the installation by running the GPS antenna cable from the Combox where it was originally connected to the head unit location.
The next step was to install the USB port in the glove box and finally the screen and the CIC were installed.
The new system powered up with no issues, so we moved on to the retrofit coding and Navigation activation. It took us around 30-60 minute to complete the last stage and finally the CIC Navigation retrofit was finished.
Everything went as expected and the customer could enjoy his new Navigation system
We used 100% OEM parts and performed the OEM Navigation activation.
I would like to thank our customer for choosing BimmerTech to perform this retrofit for him and also thank our installer Rich, who did a great job!
