I have got a 2015 428i GC and got it with a replaced head unit. The previous owner did not activate the navigation when he replaced the unit. Now I have a greyed out navigation on my screen. I also do not have the vin number for the replaced head unit. It is a NBT screen.

Thanks for all your help in advance!
Can you take a picture of the numbers on the software update screen? Depending on the firmware, we might be able to script the activation onto a USB stick and have the Nav and SXM restored for you.

If that does not work, it will need to be done over E-sys.
