I also retrofitted my car recently. I took it to the dealer for recoding but my tech told me that the retrofit is not a US option so there wasn't much to recode. The automatic scan just showed a bunch of errors. They cleared the errors caused by the installation of the nav unit and said I was good to go. Seems like everything is working on my car so I can't complain. Note that my car had assist from factory (It already had a GPS antenna connected to the TCU) I don't know if it makes a difference.

yep, that's me from fanatics--I have the come to Xville whenever I need good info with the electronics etc, as sadly most of the talent seems to move on from the e46 site... But alas... here's my Nav install: Retrofit Nav this weekend... - E46Fanatics
As for the GPS antenna... Ahhha! That's why I had a GPS antenna under the rear deck... Although after I removed the rear deck, I think I was more annoyed that I went through all that trouble for no reason. ;) I had Assist also, which must be why the antenna was there... My Assist has been gone for about 3 years though (pulled the TCU/Assist combo unit and replaced with the BT ULF).
Sounds like our techs did similar things... Once the "retrofit" failed they simply added 609 to the options list, rescanned all the other modules, and cleared the errors... All seems to work... I'm glad you chimed in though--I was concerned that it would only work with a GT1...
