- This is the installation guide on a BMW e91 with CIC with Mr12Volt MOST (Fiber Optical Connection) with OEM microphone support. The interface uses MOST bus to transmit digital to digital audio hence the quality is unrivaled by those common interface products that still use AUX as an audio source.
Key Features:
MOST bus (fiber optical) connection for amazing audio quality
OEM microphone support

First of all, the device is really a great asset and the sound is superior to a device with an aux input.
Now for your instructions, the model shown is not an E91 (station wagon) but an E90 (sedan), so the changer, if present, is installed differently. My vehicle did not have a CD changer installed, but a changer preparation.
The installation instructions are very well done except for one point, but when installing the CIC it is never that easy, the wiring harness no longer fits behind the CIC with the adaptation of the Mr12Volt.
As a small tip, the large plug cube can be deposited to the bottom right of the CIC cage, it's a bit tricky, but it works. The Mr12Volt fits very well between the CIC and the glove compartment, please wrap it in some foam to prevent it from rattling. I would also remove the glove compartment during installation, which also makes it much easier.
Thanks Mr12Volt for the great device, it really is a mega upgrade for a BMW E9x model.
Is there any type of retrofit for us with out idrive but with logic7? Something like the CarPlay device that's sold with a screen?
Great upgrade - we also install the same over here in the UK!
Enjoy the quality of audio!
Hi, I have just purchased this and I am wondering now if there is any radio with it, car radio barely works and I wonder if I need to purchase DAB separately.
I have a question about the OEM microphone connection on the M3 convertible? The mic is in the steering column, do you have instructions for this connection? Thanks😊👍🏾
Is there in future a new version for Audi MMI 3G also with OEM Mic Support?
What does the USB port allow? Does it read FLAC music files on a 1 TB flash drive?
How about Wav files?
I have the blue cic mr12voltbox, can I use oem mic using a new mic splitter cable but my old box?
does not support OEM mic on the blue box version ( both hardware and software are different)
So the new model also doesn’t need separate wiring for the iDrive controller?
it all connected to the Quadlock now as shown in video. no more idrive controller
Is this installation guide for Model No: P2000-CICMM? Any difference in installation between this model and the previous model?
The CICMM connects power to the quadlock in the back for H.U. , and split cable of OEM mic in front roof lamp
@@mr12voltso it utilises the OEM microphone?
@@MrSwon38 yes it does
How to do if we have no CD changer preparation on my Z4 e89 ? Also I figured out that I have no oem mic
you will then need to do coding on cd/mp3 ( it can be found widely on web, you can install an after market mic to mr12volt
i pulled out my radio today to check if i have the MOST wires. i have the CIC Mid, no CD Charger, but still have MOST. so far so good. there‘s also a lot of space unter the CIC Mid unit for the box.
but can i still use my USB port to play music if i wanted to or does this box replace every other possibility to play music?
if for example my phone dies or something…
it replaces the cd changer if you have one , other than that , NOT
@@mr12voltthat‘s what i wanted to hear! perfect, as i don‘t have one.
@@BanduluSound you will need to code the cd/mp3 option if there is no cd changer fitted
@@mr12voltthat‘s ok.
the video shows a cable being run to the oem mic location above the driver, does this still need to be done on the updated unit with OEM mic support?
yes, thats the mic split cable
thanks for the speedy reply. ordered a cic unit yesterday 👍@@mr12volt
why do i have to remove my cd changer? what if i don’t want to
Mr12volt emulates the cd changer. It must be disabled if you have one
Does the NBT version also have OEM mic support from now on?
Hi, it does not support the use of oem microphone for NBT .
@@mr12volt Are you planning on doing a version that does? If so, I would happily wait before ordering.
@@psychohalfdead It is not in the agenda yet, drop us message thr website and will inform you if there is in the future.
@@mr12volt I would really buy that, too.
Will this work with a 2011 e93 M3 convertible?
it works for all bmw cic regardless of its model.
Starting to think this will not work with my 2011 e90 335xi even though it said it was compatible on the website.
It works on all E90 regardless of its variant
Will this kit work on a 2008 BMW M3?
2008 comes with a CCC radio, you need to search for bmw ccc in www.mr12volt.com
I found it. Thank you.
What an awful video. Maybe speed it up a little? Not useful at all.
????? put it on faster playback speed? are u restarded?
For real even at .25 speed playback it is still faster than normal speed
Don't like that you have to sacrifice the cd changer.
you can still use the CDs in the front unit. which caused no harm
I bet you have a solid vhs collection too.
People stopped using CDs in 1999 B.C.
