NZ$200-$300 for a second hand TCU to start with... even shipped here from eBay.

Putting that in context though - a car like mines sells for NZ$20,000-$25,000 here...

So it isn't so bad. I just need to sort all the mechanical stuff first. Not that I HAVE any real big issues - just sayin'.

Thanks for all your help Qsilver7. Installed my new fleaBay TCU and everything seems to be working. Paired my phone and my wife's with no problem. Even the voice command is working properly. Opened up PA Soft 1.4 and programmed the proper VIN and cleared all the errors and hoping we are all good to go.

I am still a little concerned about the parasitic drain that my X5 had with the old TCU that was solved by pulling fuse 74. I will be watching the shift indicator over the next few days to see if the iBus wakes up the system and draining the battery like it did before. Fingers crossed.
