Yes my is US Spec. Not sure how or what feature he turned on. Basically it was some German dude (the website is located above) who I met in a parking lot behind Burger King!

He had a hand held device that plugged into the OBDII port. He clicked on the device screen, the idrive system rebooted several times. Next thing I know the traffic data started to come in, the legal disclaimer went away, ect ect ect.

I felt like I was doing something VERY illegal...like buying crack or something.
