That is an older European one so I am not sure if it will work RealOEM.com - Part Search

Ideally you want one that ends in 163 or 164.

I got a stupid question. What point is there to upgrading the COMBOX now? BMW has cancelled their services, so you can't surf the internet or do google search on the NAV screen right?

I believe I have this COMBOX and BMW apps, I can't seem to make it do anything. BMW told me that it doesn't "work" anymore.

What am I missing? Thanks!

I have one car with combox and one without. The only convenience for me is that in combox-equiped car it's a bit easier to stream music from a phone over Bluetooth, as compared to a $5 dongle that sometimes doesn't connect to the phone right away and cannot operate tracks, etc.

I really don't care about anything else, as it seems we use smartphones for everything nowadays.
