I'm guessing the new head unit is coded for hifi and you have base. If you know how to code recode the 2urad module using the VO.

Recoding the headunit off the VO will fix both of your problems. $150 doesnt seem ridiculous for the dealer to do it for you. If you want to save some money the cable costs $20 or less and it is useful for other things.

You would read the VO from the frm or cas and recode the 2urad module without making any changes to it.

Follow these instructions once you have ncs expert setup(I copied this from another post)

1. Load NCSExpert.
2. Load Profile and select Expertmode
3. F1 (VIN/ZCS/FA)
4. F3 (ZCS/FA f .ECU)
5. Choose E89 (for the E9X)
6. Select CAS
7. F6 (BACK)
8. F4 (Process ECU)
9. Select the Module I want to Revert back to Stock. (In this case 2urad)
10. F2->Choose "SG_Codieren->ok
11. F3->to start coding the ecu with factory settings according to the vehicle VO.
