Coding Satellite Radio in 2012 CIC?

Have a 2012 CIC that has the built in tuner. Vin has Satellite prep $693. Half the research says I need a FSC code and the other half says I just need to code $693 out and add the sirusXM equipped one. I looked for a how to and could not find one for this year? Can anyone point me in The correct direction?

Found this info but not sure if correct for the 2012:

My car definitely has the Sat Prep option. The VO lists $693.

Here's what I coded:

1. Added $655 to CAS, FRM, and NFRM
2. Removed $693 from CAS, FRM, and NFRM
3. Turned SDARS to aktiv in KOMBI ECU

These three steps instantly updated my iDrive and enabled the Satellite Radio option. But no luck with the ESN.

***EDIT***
Items in red I have not completed yet.

You have to call up Sirius to get a subscription.
They need the ID on your hardware.

Sat should appear on your Radio or Idrive is you did the coding correctly .

Yes I know I need to call them and give them EIN number once I get that far. Just trying to cover the coding side as the ones I have found code for are 2010 and earlier and 2014 and later. No 2011-2013 if it’s different. I added $655 VO to CAS and FRM. Don’t have NFRM option. I removed $693 VO from CAS and FRM and again can’t find NFRM option.

Now just need to add to Turned SDARS to aktiv in KOMBI ECU I think. Oh and upload FCS Cert.

I was able to add the $655 VO to CAS and FRM but not NFRM as it’s not there. I was able to remove $693 from the same. I can not find SDARS in Kombi. I Ctrl+F and I searched 1 by 1. Not sure why I am missing it.

I don't think sdars is in the kombi .
Why would it be?
Whenever you change a VO all the modules that might be effected must be processed.

I appreciate you working with me. I finally found 3 of the 8 SDARS but it does not have the one to activate it. Not sure if I manually add them or if when adding the VO that adds them.

This is what I did the add VO to CAS and FRM.

Yeah that tell you how to change the VO but does not say anything
about how to excute the change on each module that requires the change
if I am reading it right at first glance.

Changing the VO is a different operation than actually propagating that information
to each module. At least as far as I understand it.
If you read the modules you are interested in it you should see the options generally
present as Aktiv or nickt Aktiv.

It was in the CIC not the Kombi. I finally got it to show up. Now just need to learn how to upload FSC Cert to activate it.
