I haven't done it myself yet, but a friend performed the ID6 upgrade with full 4G capabilities. Furthermore, you will need matching parts from the same donor car. I'm not using remote services and RTTI, so I'm
satisfied with the ID6 upgrade by itself
yes I have done it and upgraded to a fully functional ID6 system with remote services etc

however it cost a lot of money and honestly it is not worth the cost nor the effort

if i would do it again, i would go with the android units everybody uses to upgrade their CIC or NBT systems, installation is straight forward for an engineer and you get the functionality you need..

i am not sure if BMW connected drive is important for our cars
