Yes, if it’s the same than the sportcross one, just have to put the ignition on first position, go to your DVD lector (generally near the repair wheel on the right), open the door and the DVD will come out, then insert the new one. As I read before, you just earn 50 bucks doing this
I thought so too until I found out that close to 80% of used cars on the market happen to have false milage on their odometers and "milage calibration" is practiced widly, espacialy at the luxusy dealerships. BMW being the #1 altered car. Infact BWM, unoficialy of course, went back to making odomiter chips that can be easily modified after they have experinced a huge value loss after introducing new chips that could not be altered without evidence. As strange as it sounds it is better for them to let the dealers alter the miles since it adds to the residual value. Othervice we would have a market flooded with cars that have 200K on the odometer…would you buy a car like that?
As an experiment, I suggest you go to a BMW dealerchip and look around and see what is the avarage milage on the older models. Then through a simple statistical calcualtion,find probability density function and find the error deviation after comparing these milages to an avarge miles drive per year on an avarge vehicle…..if you dont want to do the math, just think.. is it possible that MOST of the cars on the lost drive less then 10K a year for the past say 5-10 years. Statisticaly it is imposible.

What was that old saying…there’s lies, damm lies, and statistics? In my home, I just sold my 93 Maxima, it had less than 50k miles. Our other older car is a 94 Geo, with less than 30k miles. Statistically this is impossible! My guess is that when the dealers get a good low mileage car, they keep those for resale. The other are shipped off to a resaler.
