2) Do you know the glovebox trim piece number and was it hart to remove it with the changer installed?
3) Did you use the bimmerretrofit cable to activate voice and Navigation?
4) How did you get the HD radio? The CIC with HD is almost impossible to get unless you buy it new and pay the core charge fee :-(
Thank you!

Sure. It's just analog video out that needs to be re-routed directly from the DVD changer to the CIC and not through the passive AVM switch. If you're not bothered about video from the changer audio works perfectly with no mods since audio is carried over the MOST bus.
No the trim piece is not at all hard to remove. Just pulls out but you need to remove the trim panel from around the changer, then the smaller center piece and then finally the outer piece. All pieces simply unclip. Patryk at bimmer tech can provide all the parts for you.
I did use the activation module for nav and voice since it was going to be in there for pdc and camera anyway.
I ordered all the parts and the USA CIC from patryks ... At bimmertech. Not bimmer retrofit.
