New 1er trying to figure some things out

[thekeegasaurus]

Hi everybody, just bought my new child, "XD", on Saturday and i'm trying to figure a few things out. Previous cars: 2000 VW Jetta GLS 5 speed - 2008 Mini Cooper S 6 speed.

I have a 2011 128i, automatic ( ) but I got it for the miles - !!51k!! - because I travel back and forth between NY and MD. In my bit of digging I've learned that there was an LCI somewhere around the 2011 model year, and i'm trying to figure out if mine is already fine for one of those belsee head unit replacements (pictures attached). Also, are those actually good? I see installation videos, and people enjoying them, I just really want a backup camera and full bluetooth phone capabilities. Open to any and all suggestions and feedback!

And hopefully I didn't post this in the wrong section lol

interesting find for navi replacement.

Do you know if there is one where you can replace the middle console (where the 1,2,3,4,5,6, programmable buttons and a/c control) and maintain the oem navi screen for that dual screen functionality.

This one is the Belsee one I was originally considering, but I share a Mercedes A220 with my mom when I'm in Maryland and the touch screen in that is very similar to the Nav replacement and it sits with me better.

And you can retrofit full Bluetooth phone capabilities with your idrive, I'm not sure how, previous owner did it for me. There's gotta be a guide in the E90 forums if not here.
