That's the reason I'm buying the MY2010 CIC at the dealer; so far my local dealer told me in person while talking to BMWNA techs that they will get me the FSC if I get a new CIC from BMW. I'm getting the HD screen used this week and the CIC will take some time as it is not available to order yet from BMW (too new).
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%.
