i spoke with my dealer, they can do the kit for 490 canadian $
they also confirmed the HU does not need re coding.

I have a 2011 323i (sedan)

not sure if that makes a diffy

but considering i cant find the kit for any cheaper online, dealer is a decent option. Also this DOES NOT VOID warantee. for anyone questioning that...im on lease and will buyout the car after probably.

im still nervous about the re-code, can anyone explain why some need and some dont?

PDF says bmw with option 662 no re code needed (bmw business radio), i have option 663A (bmw pro radio)
I think they are the same base crap with fancy name though, cant confirm.
the BMW pdf install manual says no code needed, but others say post 09 do need...so wtf.
