I'm still confused as to why it has been put on hold. Mine was installed with no problems back in March. My car didn't have Bluetooth so maybe there is a problem on cars with this.....who knows 
Took my Dealer 1 hour to install and this includes coding the kit so no, you cannot do it yourself.

My Ride: 535d Sport in Carbon Black / high gloss shadow line and beige leather / dark poplar with professional nav, bluetooth phone prep, CD changer, bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, servotronic steering, folding mirrors, heated comfort seats, TV, extended voice control and Logic 7 hifi.
I was ordering some bits for Nicola's 1 series today so asked about this. It's a dash off job for fitting the electronics, plus obviously the trim on the tunnel needs to come off to fit the button. THEN the car needs re-coding, and we know how long that can take - estimate: 3 hours labour total. I guess the variable here is the amount of time it takes to recode the car.
He did not say however that the part was not orderable today...
