It seems that you can do it through something like bimmercode. I haven't read of anyone ever needing to physically change out the stereo when making the move overseas.
As for the maps, I don't have any experience with that, but you should just be able to just load the European maps on a USB drive and update that way. If you get the maps, I would make sure you have both and just test it, if it works, just reload the us maps after until you make the move. |
Thank you for all this as the suggestions are very informative and practical! I appreciate it! I am saving the info regarding the coding for the radio and will play with it once I am in Europe with the vehicle.
The Telematics Unit, if I want it also working in Europe (because of Connected Drive), will be another ordeal. Those units here are related to AT&T and it will not be a matter of just putting another SIM card.
For the Navigation maps, do you know how and where I can buy European maps with the code and also how would I get a copy of my currently installed USA maps?
Thank you again for being so helpful!
Best!
