Navigation & Audio R56 LCI radio retrofit

So you had the grey radio with volume **** hole and switched to the LCI? I have an 09 R55 and want to do the same thing in order to upgrade to touch screen where the spedo is.
My question is, are the black A/C controls and bottom window switches plug and play or did you have to match anything specific?

Oh I know the face is different. Just about every aftermarket radio is made for the LCI face-plate and doesn't accommodate the standalone volume ****. Instead of cutting into the current face-plate, I'd rather find an LCI to fit my 09 R55 and make it look more seamless. Thanks for the info on the A/C controls and window switches. When I get some extra funds, I'll start piecing together the swap.

Do you have any issues with it? Do the safety/entry chimes play (door open, no seatbelt, key left in ingnition, etc)?

Plenty of options finding a unit. eBay, salvage yards(cheapest option) Facebook part outs. Important that you know it’s a Bluetooth unit. Must have Bluetooth logo on top of the unit. If it does not say, it’s just a black unit. Popping it off is not hard, just a lot of crews to get to it. YouTube has few guides but to give heads up: takes a little time and patience if you are doing it first time.
