Around RM4-5K CCC with complete wide screen and installation?

Just the CCC. To change to wide screen requires a whole host of other stuff I believe. Freddie normally quotes his prices incl installation.

Mine japan spec that come with gps system so if i want get local gps just change CCC only rite? wide screen and all wiring harness can use back?
 
Actually I read about people retrofitting the new idrive into the current E60. The newer idrive looks a lot better and after driving F10 for a while the other day, I can say it's really awesome :p Someone in Singapore can do the retrofit but no idea how much it'll cost. Mine doesn't have Navigation originally (UK spec) so retrofitting this might be a good choice - once and for all.
 
Hello team,

This is my first post and I hope it will be beneficial to others. I am in Melbourne, Australia and have two BMW 530i e60 2004 sedans.

Vehicle 1 features:
- DVD CCC (Two disc slots)

4.) I found the DVD CCC has 5 plugs and cables (vehicle 1). The Standard CCC has 4 plugs and cables (vehicle 2). Please see the back of the CCC units in the pictures I’ve attached. Also I have attached a picture of the cables exposed in both vehicles.
5.) Now I am one plug short in vehicle two. How can I fix this? What is the missing wire for and is there is retrofit option? Does anyone have a suggestion or solution on how I can resolve this?
6.) I have tried to fit the Standard CCC into Vehicle 1 and disregard the extra wire/plug. However I found the metal Optical cable plug does not fit. It is the same shape and size, with equal amount of pins but there is a “knuckle” on the side which does not line up. Therefore the cable will not fit and slot into the plug. How can I fix this? Is there is retrofit option?

Quick update.

Vehicle 2: After a suggestion, I could not find the fan plug taped back on the wiring harness.

Vehicle 1: I have therefore removed the glove box compartment (and fuse box) from the donor car in an attempt to remove and install this wire harness into vehicle two. It appears I'm stuck - I don't know how far back the wire goes as I cannot see it clearly. I have tried to attach a couple of images as clear as I could. I am starting to reach the limit of my capacity and I am not sure I have the ability to go any further removing components to access where this plug ends....any advice on what I could do?

I have shaved off the "tit" from the video plug (optical cable) and it fits perfectly. I hope it's compatible and will work as normal.

Actually I can get a CIC conversion (8.8" screen, video in motion, navigation, etc) completely done for RM13,500 (inclusive installation) but has to be fixed in KL area :)
