I know there are a ton of topics showing how to retrofit the CiC to replace the older CCC navigation. However to keep my costs down I am retrofitting CCC to replace my MASK system.
I have the parts (most of them i think) and have thought about coding my vehicle by myself. but before i head down that path, is there anyone in Michigan or the midwest area that does coding? i def wouldnt mind paying someone to code this stuff for me...
also, can anyone post an installation DIY thread on how to remove my MASK system and retrofit in the CCC modules?
i have already installed the monitor, but im not sure how the dash comes apart for the CCC head unit. Thanks!

Light module 2. It's the light module that was made post September 2006. You only want it if you want to do LCI conversion, otherwise paying $400 for a module to just do welcome lights is foolish to me.

semi-related, you could get angel eye illumination this way, instead of shelling out $400:

yanked out the CCC Nav system and sold it (well the second one at least lol....thanks Gyoung)
anywho....I now have a full CiC system retrofitted and coded for sound (thanks again Patryk).
but i still could use some help coding. coding for some other items still isnt going smoothly. i tried doing the digital speedo and actual speed reading for my KOMBI unit. it accepts programming and completes the SG_Codergin but after i start the car....none of the options i code are present. i tried using different profiles but the coding doesnt stick. i also have an M5 cluster....i know understand that that cannot be coded, but i am in the process of deconstructing it so i can use the needles, LEDs and gauges in my standard cluster....only thing is i would need to program the KOMBI unit to calibrate speed and RPM readings for M5 measurements....otherwise my actual speed will read wrong against the gauges....make sense? i dont know how/where to make those changes...
add to that i bought an LM2 unit but havent had success in coding that either....really want to figure this one out before i buy my LCI headlights.
thoughts?

I havn't coded a 2004. Does that use the same cable that a 2007+ uses? Sounds like you have quite a few trickier sort of things to figure out. I don't know that I would be much help to try and plan for a meet somewhere to help you out.
