That's not true, it will just maybe disable the nav and carplay, but can easily be re-enabled by reinstalling the carplay patch.
Easy is a relative term. USB activation is no longer available with the latest idrive firmware.

If the dealer updates you with these patches, a software tamper code will be logged similar to an ecu map and transmitted to Germany.

Best bet is buy the FSC code through BMW. Pay a little more and have it done properly. Then activate full screen via the patch. Worst case I'd you will loose full screen with a dealer update and have to reapply it.
Yes it appears you're right, see my recent posts above
