Anyone out there that can share with me the best way to fry the TCU so that I can get a new one under warranty? I am very pissed that I cant use my bluetooth phone and think that this is total bull. Any help would be appreciated. PM me if you want.

You need a new TCU, not CCC. It located in the trunk. Just take the trunk panels out and short it out somehow i guess? I wouldn't do it though. Too risky and i dont really care about bluetooth.

WOW what an un-ethical way to do somthing that you didnt get. Why dont you just pay and BUY a new TCU? Hey I dont get MP3 capability... I never thought about frying my Bus Radio... I'm not going to get the new 4.8L engine I'm not thinking of frying my engine to get a 4.8L

How about paying for it? I mean yout just bought a $60k+ car. My guess is you don't need to commit crime to save a few bucks.
