For Telematics Combox:

S6VCA Control for Combox
S609A Navigation system Professional
S633A Preparation, mobile phone, Business (or S639A Preparation f mobile phone cpl. USA/CDN)


For Media Combox:

S6VCA Control for Combox
S609A Navigation system Professional
S644A Preparation f mobile phone w Bluetooth

So, I asked him if it had to be Nav Professional, or could it also work with Nav Business, and he said he had never seen it or heard of it, but he didn't rule it out.

And now that I think more about it, I think when BMW Live first appeared in the 1-Series, it was with Nav Business.
No no, the "new" BMW Live first introduced in F20 requires only radio professional (i.e. 6.5" screen, no nav) & 6NH. It doesn't require nav or combox of any sort. This is confirmed by both ordering guides & online configurators for various EU markets.
For F30, only 6NH is needed for BMW Live as radio professional is already standard. If u spec any of the nav packages it automatically deletes BMW Live as BMW Online & Internet is included instead.
This new BMW Live is currently only available in F20 & F30, all other models need nav+combox for this feature.

Goto page 18, for 6AL it said not with either of the nav packages. There are no further requirements as UK-spec have 6NH as standard already.
