Yes, there is also http://www.unichip-tec.com

However, with bimmertech (BT) at least you get a support from proven company. Might be worth paying extra $200 for piece of mind.

From my limited research, it seems that many systems, such as unichip and the one you linked, require installation of separate microphone. BT uses all built in functionalities without extra hardware.

I think all these options are viable options. There is something for all budget levels. All are cheaper than the loss one would take by selling their car to get newer model, or by installing a newer idrive unit.

This is for you lol.

you would have it already installed if you have 2017. It just needs activation via coding.

It for you and the 2014-2016 there is bimmertech and the lime.
