Driving home the other day my iDrive went blank and no radio. Everything else in the car works. Think just my screen is dead?

Can I simply buy a unit from avin? or must I fix the iDrive frist?

Any other options? My car is a 2009 335xi.

thanks

Very early CIC units have a tendency to fail, especially if you have a late 2008 build date. Later units are pretty bullet proof. The Avin units run off the aux port so you would need to get a replacement CIC unit before you could install the Avin. If you want to come to State College I can grab a CIC off my shelf and code it for you.
