For an owner to update the maps with FSC the CIC has to be activated by software/FSC and not hardware.
1. It is possible to update maps from DVDs using the FSC code issued for the VIN number which belongs to CIC. It does not matter if you have CAN Filter in line or not. CIC does care about VIN number reported from CAS via CAN ID transmission. If CAS not report (transmit) the VIN ID or report it with some specific VIN (exactly what CAN filter change it to), CIC will expect to have FSC which match the VIN with which CIC has been programmed previously.

2. We did this procedure many times. The trick is: How to know the VIN number for particular CIC - but this is resolved so far.

3. CAN filter does not block VIN handshake, it simply change the VIN number to the specific one
