If you have a G30 then you need to post in the 5 Series forums… Or better yet, just visit your local dealer

If its spec'd then dealership needs to take responsibility to get it activated. Good news is there shouldnt be any hardware retrofit, just a simple activation.

It was originally posted in the F30 forums. I requested it be moved.
