Will fuss a little with the ICOM and try to re-program few things in the car, (Mirrors closing/Opening when pressing the Key FOB, Digital speed display, activate the iDrive DVD, etc...) until I receive my Combox retrofit...

Did you receive your ICOM? How is it going?
Yup, got the ICOM last night. Still building the programming VMs I need on the Mac. Have ISTA/P, ISTA/D, and another VM for BMW Standard Tools with WinKFP an NCS Expert etc. Plugged the ICOM into the car briefly an watched it boot, but not connected to the laptop yet.

Also I read we need a PSU to power the car for longer programming exercises. I built a list of the options and went to Mong Kok Hak Po Road last night, but no-one has anything close. They pointed me to Ap Liu Street in SSP, so I will go there and try and source the PSU (another 3000 - 4000 HKD :-(). There is a real danger of bricking your ECUs apparently if you don't use one and the battery runs out during coding/programming. :-( Hopefully I can find something, will let you know.

Did you find your MOST port yet? Fucked if I can find it. I have a bad description from the BMW docs and a bad image from another E89 document that says its on the driver side, behind some trim near the a-pillar. A better image or description would be helpful. I don't know how to remove the trim there safely.
