My car has 6NL, 6NF, 6NR and 6UH. I think BMW Assist is useless. But I would hate to lose other capabilities. Any suggestions?

I've been playing around in ESys, trying to uncover more of its mysteries. :-)
I like the fact that many things, like SVT and FP can be saved to disk, then reopened for viewing (and presumably editing) offline from the car. Tonight, I looked at the selection tray carefully for the first time and came across the editor in the screenshot below. Does anyone have any insight on what this does? It seems like it's designed to connect to BMW servers to update the infotainment systems. If so, I'd sure love to get a Gracenote database update, for example. I've searched and searched and while Toyota (!) has an owner process for updating Gracenote, I can't find any way to do it in our cars. There's no end to the digital mystery of F series BMWs, is there?

Gracenote Database is easy to update without E-Sys though. 1) Download Gracenote Database (e.g. gracenote_db_01.13.iso) and burn to DVD. 2) Enter hidden CIC Service Menu. 3) Go to Gracenote Menu and perform update:

Is it possible to enable the option 6NR "BMW apps" or does this require loading additional software? I am thinking of getting an iphone since the my13 doesn't support my android the way I want it to. Thanks.

You will not have the FBAS Video connection from 6NF Base Plate to back of CIC though, so you will not have Video nor iPod Out GUI functions, but all else will work.

From a seller with access to BMW ASAP Portal. Cost is around $200, and you Import and Activate it yourself.

It is the same process, although the database file (e.g. gracenote_db_01.13-NBT.iso) is different for NBT.
The database is about 1 GB for CIC and is 4 GB for NBT.

You can't yet receive PM's. Wait until you can, or post up an email address.
