How to get android phone working with CIC?

Hi guys

I've just bought a September 2012 f30 with CIC, BMW live, BMW online and BMW apps.

I use a Sony Xperia z1 rooted running android 5.

None of the online or apps features work with my android phone. Based on my research, BMW apps only work android on nbt systems, but with iPhone only on CIC.

Has anybody been able to get it working on android? Is there maybe a firmware I can force flash onto my CIC to give it android support? I'd prefer not to put an iPhone on the armrest and tether to my android phone - it's too inelegant

Nope, wasn't able to make those work.
I purchased an old Ipod Touch 5, and left it in the armrest.
