Sorry. Still learning
I advised you in post #55 that you could just use the Donor VIN with the existing FSC Codes in it, and an Emulator.

You then asked about ordering FSC Codes for another VIN, and I am simply telling you that 1) the other VIN needs to be newer and 2) if that VIN already has the FSC Codes issued, you would not need to buy them, you just need someone with acess to pull them from BMW server.

Suppose for example the Donor VIN only has Navigation activated, but you want Voice Control and BMW Apps too. So, now you have to find another VIN newer than yours that has FSC Codes issued for all 3 options (NAV, Voice, and Apps), then you change Head Unit to this new VIN and Import and Activate those FSC Codes in it to use with Emulator, then you get all 3 functions.
