E91 CIC Trunk module Video Input?

Soravia · 12-14-2019, 12:27 AM

Not sure but can someone verify that controller in the trunk panel has blue connection for rear OE camera? Looks just like CIC cable. My 2011 LCI car already has NAV screen from factory. What's this one for?

USB interface #2. Black one is USB interface #1.

What can I use it for? Just spare USB connection like one I have in middle console?

It has been quite a while since I have done some combox coding, but as I recall, that connection is for a snap in phone cradle, which would require coding after install. You can code the 2nd usb to preform the same functionality as USB 1. Pretty much useless really. No bang for the buck there IMO.

All the usb in the car all the bluetooth in the car and voice control
come from that module as well as whatever bmw uses for SOS
now if anything. But the caveat is all those functions have to be
enababled to work.

In other word if the module would cease to work you would not have
any bluetooth functions your usb and your aux input would cease to work,
and your voice control as well.
