You can code the functionality described in this thread (ex: Disable the auto-start, remove the disclaimer, activate the ability to roll up your windows using the fob, change the delay on the trunk opening, etc.) - as described in the cheat sheet on the original post.

If you have the 6.5" screen, you will NOT be able to activate such functions as:

- BMW Apps
- Bluetooth Audio
- Office
- Nav

All these require the professional CIC module + combox. A retrofit is about 3000$ for the CIC module itself (this includes the bigger screen, new head unit, new iDrive controller, ability to use a white iPod cable instead of the Y cable, etc.), plus you'll have to activate the functions, which is usually another 500-1500$ depending on what you want.

I've confirmed this with Patryk@BimmerTech here on the forums and my dealership. I was hoping with my 6.5" screen I'd be able to simply order a combox for $300-500 and activate some functions (even simply bluetooth audio), but unfortunately this is not possible.
