Re: combox
Your current TCU has IMEI number and with which it communicates with the BMW server to have BMW connected drive and 'send a link' to CCC.

When you retrofit combox, it will be 'unofficial' retrofit as BMW does not allow such kind of retrofits, and they are not going to register the IMEI of combox against your car.

You will still have connected drive and BMW applications, but it will work by thethering the internet via your phone.

In that case, you will loose the ability of 'send a link/ message to your CCC' and remote application for your car (if there is any for CCC).

HTH.
What if i was to get a combox from BMW, that way could i get them to register it with the car with a new IMEI. As I use the 'send to link' feature from my iphone almost everyday (streamlines entering info into the SAT NAV) Im guessing if this is possible then, no tethering will be required?

Could you give me the part number for the combox? If BMW agreed this, then could I get the bluetooth audio streaming?

Many Thanks
