That won't work because ATX' systems are VIN driven and your VIN won't match the phone number for the GSM TCU (if you can even get a number provisioned, which I doubt).

Won't work for reasons cited above.

This won't work in a car that came with CCC-based iDrive. I cited the reasons for this much earlier in the thread.
