CIC Retrofit

I am retrofitting a CIC into my F30 and need some help. I already have a combox in my car and the usb/aux dual in my arm rest. Would i still need to purchase an additional USB that connects into the CIC unit? Where would be good recommendations for purchasing the GPS antenna and GPS activation emulator or FSC code?

If I was retrofitting in a pronav to a F30 now, I'd go straight to the NBT. Anyway for the cables etc I used eBay seller emtronika. They take offers and fast shipping.

As for the FSC map code, generate it yourself and save some $$$$

Thanks kitster i just purchased the GPS antenna from them and put in an offer for the activation emulator. I thought about NBT but it would have been too costly and just not worth the retrofit, for me atleast.

so far I have the CIC, 8.8 screen and the controller which I purchased from a seller in Chino, CA off ebay. I paid about 400 total for those. I purchased the GPS antenna and emulator yesterday from Emtronika on ebay. The GPS antenna cost me 10 dollars and the emulator cost me 165
