Tried contacting that guy once or twice and i got bad feeling about it.... fortunately i found a professional coder that can enable your BMW to work in Europe for TMC and TP... TMC is not RTTI. RTTI stands for Real Time Traffic Info that allows data collection from the vehicle back to BMW for traffic analysis.... TMC does not and it depends on user reporting accidents, debris, traffic jams back to radio stations... and radio stations pushing the info down via radio to vehicles...
TMC is more for the OLD CCC i Drive whereas the new RTTI is more for the CIC units... they both work well and they can save you from traffic jam headaches. It has saved me multiple times coming back from Italy trough Switzerland....
But if you have a CCC idrive and want TMC and TP enabled in your vehicle, then i can vouch that it can be done via coding.... my friend has a US 2012 550i with Navi and he got his coded to work with RTTI here in Germany and it works way better than the old CCC idrive...
