As you probably can tell already, I'm on the same boat. Heres my theory/what I know. I mapped the wiring/pin for the carplay LVDS/FAKRA cable. 2 wires are direct from "to oem monitor" to "To radio" FAKRA cable. the other 2 wires are interrupted via the carplay box. CIC seems to use 2 wire for data and 2 wires for power. What I'm not sure is on the NBT, if they use all 4 wires for data or just 2 wires for data and 2 external wires for power. On the diagram below, which should be for NBT, you can see the two power wires (red/yl and brown) and it shows 4 wires for data of some sort. I cant seem to find a diagram fro CIC 4pin. EDIT: I dug around TIS and used late e90 which uses CIC and found the 4pin FAKRA. So it looks like NBT uses APIX which does use all 4 wires for data and CIC uses 2 wires for data. So final thought, I dont think this will work.

Alrighty, so an update. I have an f30 MY 4/2013 with CIC but with 6pin display(cic high?).
As per my previous post, cic version didnt work and its because of what I mentioned earlier, LVDS vs APIX protocol. I just installed the NBT version (Road top brand, purchased from amazon) and it works! Main harness comes with the 3.5mm audio jack for the aux input.

Great to read that jkwhar seems to have resolved the mystery! @jkwhar and others in this thread, your perseverance on this topic is much appreciated. What is your experience so far with the Road Top NBT box in your CIC-equipped F30? I.e. stability of Carplay, how is audio quality, do OEM features integrate well (reverse camera, Bluetooth phone, mic), etc? Many thanks |

There is a bit of lag here and there when using the idrive controller in apple carplay but not enough where its annoying (to me at least). I bought this unit mainly because it was on amazon with free return so worst case scenario, i just return it lol. Audio quality is solid as well. I have integral audio upgrade on my f30. At first, I had an issue with nav announcement (Apple maps, google maps, etc) was too loud but figured out theres a setting for that specifically in the MMI settings. I had another unit I bought off a member on here that was for CIC and noticed it had an aftermarket mic. The roadtop unit Tees off the factory mic so the car's bluetooth still works. During incoming calls, don't use the steering button, I think it was the phone button but can't remember) to pick up your calls as it will hang up. other than that...its seamless. I like it enough that I'm planning on buying another one for my f15 x5. If theres any other question, feel free to ask!

Finally, I am glad someone got this to work. I ended up ordering a carplay box from ebay for nbt, and while everything worked well because it had the integrated Aux through the quadlock. no audio. Needless to say it was annoying as the seller told me it had an external audio out, I think i will give the Road Top unit a go, is this the one you got? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084M1M4P9...4191853&sr=8-2 |

Other people with my MMI unit don't need the AUX/external mic but I need it because of the CIC/NBT mix in my car (I think that's the reason at least). How were you able to use the default microphone? Did you do anything specific? The MMI that I have is meant to work with it but it won't, I'm not really sure what else I can try to get it to work with the original mic (I'd rather not connect my phone to idrive via Bluetooth as that screws with a few things) Any ideas? |

What is on the other end of the tap? I know that with the picture you just sent, on that end of the cord it gets plugged into the OEM mic and the OEM mic cable, but what's on the other end, is it a 3.5mm plug? Last edited by Fishie; 07-12-2020 at 12:04 PM.. |

If the mic works, great. If not I can either return the unit, get the seller to send me a mic (he offered me one but I said I’ll use amazon as it’s 100x faster), or order the roadtop unit which comes with a tap. Will hopefully have more info tomorrow |

Strangely enough sometime Siri works in my car. I can not make out why and which settings are being used when it works. I do have bluetooth connected to CIC-HIGH to be able to make phone calls. For podcasts audio I do need aux but not always. Very confusing. |

edit: Just got delivered, the two core mic is for sure better than the previous two that I tried. It is still shit though. The other person can hear me, but if they were at a restaurant with some background noise I don't think they would be able to hear me. I think my only option now is to try out a mic tap. I did connect my phone to the drive Bluetooth and calls work, I can't use the steering wheel controls if I do this because carplay and idrive fight with each other.
