I gotcha and wrapping my head around all this in the last month has been a huge challenge for me also. With regards to the *.SSD file, here's how I see it. If you have an E60 with CCC that has been modified to CIC and now you want to flash this module; however NSCEpxert does not offer it as an option in its module list. You would modify your original *.SSD with the VO of an E90 and save it as such. For programming all standard modules within your car you use your original *.SSD file. For programming the CIC, you use your modified *.SSD file with E90 VO so that you have access to the CIC module. Load your modified *.SSD file using Bruce's steps above.

Ha Ha, Thanks Blood! Yes, I did the CCC / CIC swap last year which actually made my learning curve for NSCExpert a bit more difficult given that when it reads my VIN# it does not offer the CIC as a module that can be flashed, but instead presents the CAPPL module. It took some doing with trial and error to generate the correct *.SSD file in order to gain access to the CIC, but thankfully I made it work. Again mostly due to information in this thread and other threads within the forums based on this topic. Joining the forums at bmwcoding.com has also proved to be a useful resource and also thanks to nomis_nehc (Simon) for clearing my head on many other NSCExpert coding related questions...
So I tell you what, instead of a free CIC, are you willing to take a free CCC??? I got one sitting in my garage doing nothing right now.

and no ones willing to help me figure it out.Why not change your own cars production date?, if you change it to #0909 the CIC will show up in the NCS module list.

Blood, the production date of my car is 05/06 even though it lists as a 2007 model year. I believe that my CIC is Pre-LCI given that all other features of the car are Pre-LCI. It does however have Voice Control functionality.
Ahhh, isn't knowledge just a beautiful thing! Thanks Blood.

If has no favourites buttons it`s pre-LCI, come to think of it US LCI CCC`s have only 6 fav buttons and an fm/am button plus a next source button, Euro LCI CCC`s have 8 fav buttons.
Thanks any way. Just wish I could get my head around Tool32, the answer is staring me in the face.

Just one thing if your cars production date is 05/06 NCS may refuse 09/09, in that case use 05/09 instead, it seams the month is really important.

I would be more than happy to participate in a Tool32 thread to learn more and hopefully add substance down the road.
