HELP !!!! Replaced Headunit (CIC) - Coding

Hi Guys

I've just replaced my headunit with a newer model (DAB Version, circa 2015) as my old unit had sound issues. Whilst doing this I took the opportunity to replace the Combox (Telephone and Bluetooth Audio) as my car only had standard Bluetooth (circa 2010) so no Bluetooth Audio.

So far so good, much better sound, faster interface, Bluetooth Telephone and Audio working as it should. Programmed the Bluetooth Audio using Bimmercode as I had it on my phone. Now the problem, Navigation is greyed out.

I'm sure its down to VIN numbers, FSC Codes as the headunit is from a different car so the VIN number / FSC Codes will be different and the year of manufacture is different too. So can anyone help with some guidance / instructions and software dowload links to fix the problem ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Steve

Can’t help you but yes it’s a FSC/VIN clash…
