Well done a lot of searching today here is what I have so far. The car has Idrive, nav, option for 6 disk changer, no aux, and no bluetooth on the screen, has voice control, and as the BMW phone numbers but nothing happens when you call them. Wondering what is the best way to go here?

Finding some 07 TCU's on ebay for around a 100 dollars. Will it be a plug and play swap?

Others have mentioned getting it coded by the dealer to work but I am guess that is 200 dollars+.

Here is my car info based on VIN decode.
