No hardware changes needed. Only software. Please visit Raymonds Auto Works ats sunway damansara. He will fix this for you

??? You mean everything will work? Sat Nav/Radio/BT will work?

I was also offered this. The best I found it needed a hardware interface to i-drive. Also the Nav doesn't use I-Drive system itself, only the I-Drive screen for output. So it's like a separate computer but the same monitor. It can be a good option if you don't like BMW's Nav.

I have yet to find a shop that can simply zap the Jap version to UK/MY. Don't think it's possible or else all shops would offer it.

Hi Jeff,

I think you can contact Freddie of Obermaier (03-40421637) for your Navigation and radio conversion. The contact was given by another kind forumner here. It is quite pricey but what you get is the real deal, all BMW parts.

If I'm not mistaken, he will replace the entire CCC with a Euro spec'd version that is suitable for navigation in Malaysia and a radio tuner that works locally.
