They also talked about changing the Vehicle Order but I don't want that, I would like to try the FSC first.
As you already demonstrated all the software is located in that CIC and if you can see most of the screens (Assist, Service -brakes, oil status-, iPod, Sirius, AM/FM, AUX) but the Nav then that CIC is able to communicate as is with your car without any other software. That's 95% of the retrofit. You need somebody with really good raport with BMWNA techs, I think that you still have a chance of getting the FSC for your VIN, loading them into that used CIC and making it work 100%.

You're probably going to want to change the Vehicle Order (FA) regardless for a 100% solid install (assuming the CIC carries a different option code). Otherwise, if your car ever gets a software upgrade, things may stop working again until the CIC is recoded. As long as the FA is aligned with what you have in there, everything will work even after reprogrammed.
