The question I have for the group, does anyone know what coding will be required to upgrade/replace the combox? Since the infotainment system is already setup for combox, I shouldn't need an FA code I would guess. But I don't know the intricacies of the programming replacement. Most places I have contacted know about retrofit installations, but not direct replacements.

Thanks in advance for any information provided.
The problem is, you need to get BMW Assist to allow that new Combox (it will have a new IEMI#) on their system. Unless you figure out a way of doing that, its never going to work -regardless of what you do with the car.
