Sorry what is ETK?
I already have HU_CIC from factory if that helps.

For real? If I could do that, I would be a wealthy man.

ETK is BMW's Electronic Parts Catalog:

http://www.bmwetk.info/

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do

You can also look around online and find the standalone DVD version for download, which is about 5Gb.

What do u have inside the front armrest apart from the usb & aux connectors?

Empty... Only usb and aux. Should there be anything more?

Shawnsheridan, Can you please PM me the link for the E-Sys program.

There is definitely not an FSC Code, as I do not have one, and I have Office.

Is the Country Controller the 8xx Option Codes, like 801 for Germany, and 812 for England? I can't find one in my VO, so I guess there isn't one for U.S.?

Is there any other impact of removing a Country Controller?

Well, in my F10, that is all I have in my Armrest too, and I have 6VC Combox and 639 Enhanced Bluetooth.

Can you give me more detail on how to remove controllers from VO? I am willing to be the guinea pig.

S8LHA is the VO to remove. From the 1st page on this thread there are instructions on how to add or delete VOs, or ask Shawn.

No experience coding the VO yet, so I try to leave that as my final option...

Did however talked to the local dealer, but they are not responding...

If u have 6NK or 6NL there're connectors for phone cradle.

Yes, those are the only two choices, the BMW Logo (AG) or the M Performance Logo (MPM).

As in it is prewired for 6NF?

Ask Shawn? Why not ask clarence?

Or better yet, learn to catch fish:

As ur car have 6.5" screen & radio professional, so u physically have a headunit called "L7 Entry" (infotainment platform shared by F20). CIC is only physically installed if u have professional nav.
I think wht's happening here is, as basic BT function is built into the L7 Entry HU, if u have 6NH then there's no combox. If u have nav pro then, as it doesn't have built-in BT, if u have 6NH then it'll come with a combox with some features disabled.
For the combination of L7 Entry + 6NK/NL, the BT hardware is not present in the headunit as a combox is present, hence a different HU p/n is present.

I think the coding side is fairly easy, but the hardware side is somewhat complicated, at least for me as I am not so much a hardware guy. There are a lot of variables depending on what you are starting with (BT, MULF, TCU, NAV, etc.) I leave that stuff to the more technically adept or experts like BimmerTech and Bimmer Retrofit. I know many people have done it though.

Here is the F30 Media Combox retrofit from BimmerTech for $725 USD:

http://www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-...a-pnp-retrofit

Here is the F30 Telematics Combox retrofit from BimmerTech for $988:

http://www.bimmer-tech.net/shop/bmw-...s-pnp-retrofit

It shows that if you have factory installed Bluetooth, there is an additional wiring set needed (or perhaps optional if you don't mind splicing wires) for $200 USD.

You can pick up a used Media Combox on eBay for under $350 USD if you want to go that route.

and confirmed working for F30, but it appears vehicle with older version of "implementation" don't have this menu option...

Not prewired for 6NF, as it's only for connecting to the sharkfin antenna (for better phone signal). 6NF has connection to both USB in combox & sharkfin simultaneously if u use a media cradle.
