Sorry to bring up an old post.

I have a 13' F30 and I'm looking to go from CIC High to NBT Evo ID6.

Can you point me in the direction of all the physical parts required?

You can contact me here or @awdbrandon on Instagram. I'd love to chat if you could assist!

Do you have the pinout that you used for glovebox USB and mic #2? I was confused how Mic #2 is wired to the CIC version of the car, I checked continuity at the mic and each pin in the quadlock harness and there were not hits - which made me think that it may run to the combox?

I believe I've seen this before, it appears he's completely DIY'ing the harness. I'm curious if there is a harness that is purchasable anywhere.

On eBay there are some sellers you can work with who can help with this, as well as FSC Codes for retro NBT Evo HU. One of the common pin swappings necessary is for the reverse camera. I think Mic#1 can also vary...best bet would be to check ISTA+ For wiring diagrams.

Let me ask in a better way - if your car came originally equipped with microphone 2 on CIC, did you change the pins at the quadlock harness or just run new microphone wires?

Also, I also made a mistake, I meant to ask about armrest /center console USB, not glove box - sorry!

Quad lock to microphone 2 ran new wires.
For armrest usb used the same cable, removed the locking feature and installed back in the radio by rotating 180deg.

I may buy new USB cable, don't like cutting stuff!

Agree that’s best way

FYI- It’s still tight enough not to get loose with car vibration. I added Tessa tape to make it don’t come loose.

I had to cut mine, never came loose in 3 years.

You can buy USB cables on Aliexpress for about $10-15, but you may need to cut that plug too to fit.

Here is the quadlock for NBT and CIC-High
