Can anyone in Essex help me fit/code a combox?

TeaAndBiscuits · 04-19-2016, 11:50 AM

Hey folks!

I currently have the following;

E90 320D (2008) which HAD a CCC, but now has a CIC unit in.

I already had the USB/AUX under armrest (6FL I believe) and now have the USB port in glovebox for the CIC, the car also has Bluetooth as standard.

Anyhow, I wanted the iPod artwork & bluetooth streaming, so I have purchased a combox telematics module, part number 9257151 (hope that is the right one!) it was taken from an F30 but the part number seems to match up with the E90 versions?

I have attached pictures of what I currently have under the boot liner.

Is there anyone in or around the Essex area that could help fit this and then code the car so it recognises it? Do I need any extra cables / security codes? As the combox did not come with any security code as such, of course will put some £ your way!

Many thanks in advance!

That part number combox is not compatible. You need one from an E series bmw.

Ah I see, I have returned it so that's ok,

Would a MULF2 Hi do the same thing as the Combox if I got one of those instead?

No you need a combox if you want the full list features like bluetooth streaming, bmw live, internet, etc.

Pretty sure Makkan is down that way

Get an NBT and forget the trunk combox. CIC is now very out of date. NBT has everything built in.

But how much is a NBT retrofit compared to a combox retrofit?

NBT set cost from £1500 up depends other stuff required. Had done in few e9x already.
