another thing is the CIC system in asia countries have a different part number than the rest of the world.
the 5 series can code and display chinese is the cluster underneath speedo and taco but still cant display on idrive, no luck for F30s.

sucks for me since i only listen to chinese music and all i get are squares so i dont even know what songs im listening to. and i refuse to change over 10 k songs to english manually lol
lol, bimmerretrofit is selling a NBT retrofit kit for $1899.99; you can probably upgrade your stock non-iDrive to that and your problem will be solved.

I think NBT uses the same CIC screen and controller so if they would sell me the NBT head unit for $1000 or cheaper, I'll try it!
