iDrive touch controller DIY

Hi All,

Like to check, can I upgrade my F30 (2016) to a iDrive touch controller (the one with hand writing recognition). Understand that I will need the touch controller, a control module and Y cable?

Do I need to get it coded for it to work?

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Yep, you will need the head unit coded for the hand writing recognition to work. The rest is just a matter of getting the Y-cable, touch knob and hand writing module.
