Internet and BMW Live can be made to work in North America, but you must disable BMW Assist, as the two cannot coexist, and you must change the VIN in the Combox to one with factory options 614 & 615.

I posted this already, but it is buried about 50 pages back, so here again is how I got Internet and BMW Live working on U.S. F10 with Combox:
