It is for maps. Connected drive is a whole new different ball game.
Connected drive works with either a TCU or an ATM box ( depending on the version of NBT you have )
If your car's VIN did not come with connected drive services from the BMW factory, your only option is to find an ATM module from a donor vehicle and use it. However, you will definitely need to change the VIN on the NBT to match the ATM. You will also need to use an emulator to prevent the NBT from locking itself when the NBT detects a difference in the car's VIN.
Yes, you will need an FSC to unlock the connected drive services, however, some have been able to tether their phone to the NBT and setup provisioning by tricking the NBT.
Retrofits are becoming very difficult now and almost not worth it, due to BMW tightening their security following the hack by two engineers into a Dodge. I posted a pdf on this. Search for it if you're interested...
