You may still need a iDrive Controller if yours does not have all the buttons.
NBT is quicker for sure, but CIC speed is tolerable.
I would think selling used parts on eBay in Brazil is no different then selling them from anywhere else.
Internet is actually easier to get working with CIC and standalone Combox then NBT with integrated Combox. But internet on CIC is absolutely worthless. I decoded my 2 days after coding it because.
- No Internet-In-Motion
- Speed - 3G connection and the CPU in the CIC is just plain slow. Maybe with a 4G phone and the new upgraded HU_NBT Head Unit, the speed will be better.
- Browser - The CIC uses some flavor of Firefox 3.5, and there is no support for Flash, Java, or Silverlight, etc.
- Input - iDrive Controller scrolling through the alphabet one character at a time to enter URL's or fill in User Name or Password fields is painful. The Touch Controller will improve this.
- Loosing Google - Send-To functionality, which is part of BMW Assist.
