I sent it to them and they told me my car has cic, so they sent out a cic unit. That makes sense as my car has the smaller controller and the interface isn't the same as nbt. When I got the cic unit I installed it to the car but it wouldn't work and the idrive screen said no signal instead of displaying CarPlay.... the origional headunit on the car says "CIC-HIGH".... is there a way I can get the cic CarPlay unit to work? Or do I need to buy an nbt unit? Or is there such thing as a special cic-high unit????
Nonono, do not do the Carlinkit, I had one and they are horrible, no signal for navigation except the Apple map, very low volume for the microphone, overheat my iphone when I connect by wire.
Did you contact their tech support? Understand it's very good.
