A VERY confusing headunit

Hi guys,

So I’m trying to do some modding of my car and retrofit an apple carplay module seemed simple enough, plenty of information out there - or so I thought.

I seem to have this Frankenstein combination headunit.

Let me explain,
2014 BMW 1 series sport
What looks like an NBT iDrive controller
CiC screen
6pin NBT LVDS cable going into the screen
Move maps? 606a option? Pro nav?

Last 7 VIN: VZ06407

All this looks like a champ2 headunit from what the internet has been telling me but NOPE BimmerCode gives me HU_CIC not HU_Champ2

So my brain is melting out my nose - any and all help would be amazing!

Thank you all in advance

According to realoem it's CHAMP2 and if you already have navigation then it's 606 since 609 requires a newer head unit.
Are you looking for an MMI solution to carplay?

Ah, sorry yes it is 606,

Do you know why when I use BimmerCode it shows as HU_CIC and not HU_Champ2?

Yeah looking for MMI but looking since your post can’t see any for champ2

Thanks for the reply by the way

I wouldn't trust that much bummer code and I would give it a try using esys. Can you post a screenshot of your current map version? Maybe we can figure it out that way.

Nav says MOVE 2014-1

Will get a picture after work if you still need one.

MacBook user - don't think e-sys has a Mac app? could probably find a laptop lying about though

Cool, on the grounds it appears to be champ2 what mmi box do I get -

I wanted the 8.8” screen which I know is not possible OEM but I’m thinking using the mmi box as a middle man this might work?

Anyone had any experience?
