If the ebay combox is from a car with iDrive, it won't need to be recoded. But if it came from a car with just the pro radio, BT audio will need to be enabled via coding.

Telematics via Combox has BT, Aux and SOS all built into it. That would explain why you got those errors when you bypassed it. Post a pic of what is back there for better assistance.
