Hi mate, thanks for the reply.

After my CIC upgrade, my faulty MULF finally died so I got a COMBOX to replace it and I really wanted to get all the BMW OEM stuff working properly including nav and apps (outdated though they may be, I'm a bit of a stickler like that), but in this case it may not be worth the hassle if I can't find someone who can do it for me for a decent price. I've ordered a cheap emulator for now so at least I can get the nav functional with whatever date maps are currently installed (probably from 2010).

I did look at the Apple Car Play Android Auto but the cheapest I could see at the moment is about AU$500.

I think I may just have to put this off for a while and think about it again next year some time .
