[NEW] INFORMATION
The following changes have taken place:
^ Introduction of the Peiker Acoustics TCB (Telematics Control Board) as the successor to the current Combox. The TCB is available in all 5 and 7 Series vehicles beginning with July 2012 production.
^ The application name has been changed from "Combox Activation" to "Telematics Device Spares Activation."
^ All Telematics control unit spares, including CDMA, can now be activated by Part managers via the DCSnet application. Service technicians no longer need to contact the Telematics Analyst with activation requests. New MIN and MDN numbers needed for programming into CDMA units will be made available in the Telematics Device Spares Activation application after the Parts managers have completed the activation process.
These numbers will be provided to the Service Technician by the Parts manager following activation.
