Do you know for a fact if somebody in Russia actually retrofitted an '09 iDrive into a '08-and-before 3-Series/M3?

What I read in that forum of yours does not say so explicitly, only shows the photo of the CIC/screen being on in the workbench. So the only thing that I can get out of it is that somebody either cracked the FSC codes or simply that as long as there is no physical connection of the CIC to the car (to verify VIN and FSC codes compatibility) it will turn on with 12V power.
