2015 iDrive Retrofitting

The Kid · 10-26-2015, 03:31 PM

I have a 2013 550, I want to put the iDrive of a 2015 550 because of features that the newer one includes. Anyone know if I can or how I can do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By "new features" do you mean the touchpad controller, or software, or both? The software features can be updated by your dealer or flashed by coding.

The touchpad controller, yes. The software as well. My dealer says they don't really want to touch software but I'll ask a different department but as for coding, I'm not sure what to do or where to go?
