So they must remove combox in my VIN/VO because I don't have it and then code software again. I hope this instructions are correct and they will be able to fix my iDrive. I will write if we will succeed.

Also I've seen that iDrive without Combox has Contacts menu while iDrive with Combox has Office menu. Before coding I had Contact menu and now after coding I have Office menu on that place. So this is another point which confirm that I have software for cars with Combox.

Also we could write emails to BMW to inform them about this problem. Contact is here:

It won't void your warranty unless your coder bricks the ECU (highly unlikely).
