OEM CarPlay retrofit + LCI digital cluster retrofit (8715144).

Hi all,

I've currently got an 2015 F20 with an ENTRYNAV1 unit, using a CarPlay MMI.

I'm looking at retrofitting the LCI extended cluster (8715144) but I believe I'd need at a minimum and ENTRYNAV2 unit and a MOST cable for this to work.

On eBay I've seen a lot of these ENTRYNAV2 units (8705960 with-wifi), so that ticks off the OEM CarPlay function and should hopefully work with the cluster, once coded.

I'm also of the understanding that I'll need an emulator as the ENTRYNAV2 unit I'm looking at is from a 2018 X1, so this keeps things 'simple' - I'll just need to VO code the cluster and head unit? Is it possible to use a 2018 ENTRYNAV2 unit as a replacement for the ENTRYNAV1? I'll be using a 6.5" LCI display for now, but plan on shifting to the 8.8" in the future.

Is this as straightforward as it seems, or am I missing a few key steps?

Thanks for your time!
