Check before ordering: Order the version that matches your iDrive: CIC or NBT. The maker notes that the F20 to F23 and F30 to F33 use NBT, not CIC, and that 2012 F10 cars can have either, so it's easy to pick the wrong one. The maker names only CIC and NBT; if your car has a later iDrive such as NBT EVO, email us before ordering. When fitting, the mic cables are labelled MIC IN and MIC OUT; don't confuse them with AUX.
