So if the vehicle already is equipped with iDrive half of the battle is won already.
Obtaining the FSC in the other hand is like you are saying but with a twist: it could be very tricky. However, it could be done the same way as changing the VO in theory, but it will require a little more than the right connection to the department that create the FSC.
So this is the very next step after getting the cables and before ordering the major parts... meeting the more than the right connection.  |
Well, just because it's coded for iDrive doesn't necessarily mean it's right. There are a bunch of option codes, and there's a very good possibility that the option code for the CIC system is completely different then that of the CCC. Then you have to deal with things like HD Radio, DVD, etc. However I am familiar with changing the VO and could do at least that.
The real issue, as you said, will be the enabling code.
