FWIW, when I did mine I literally removed the little "box" housing the keypad and two dials. I then disassembled it from the back and replaced the board. It worked immediately without any sort of coding. My is a 2006 Avant USA. I did a quick scan of the modules below and do not even see it on the list.

I am confused, if it is just the center console controls, it appears to be simply a complex switch and not a programmable module.

for the effort of doing that, I think it’s easier if I just replace the whole unit. My thoughts are that if I replace it with an identical unit, won’t it just work? Does it need to be coded?

Ok, let me see if I can explain. I have an MMI 2G High system. There is a E-380 circuit board for these available on Ebay and Amazon, mine was $40 or so. Getting the module out is 90% of the work. If you have a new module to drop in great, if not it is nothing to take a few torx screws of the back and go in and replace the board and clean any residue.

Mine required no coding, just plug and play

OK thanks. I’ve bought the unit and I’ll drop it in tomorrow. Fingers crossed

How did that work for you?

so far, perfectly. Followed a YouTube video and did it all. It’s been a week or 2 and it’s been flawless. The guys who sold it said it needed to be coded. It wasn’t and it’s been fine. I think the coding thing is a way to make money.
