That will be a chunk of change.

Likely better to just do this:


EDITED x2 - Maybe don't pay $20 to europe... check this torrent for an image and a copy of acronis in the same package. That should get you rolling for free. You'll just need a way to address PATA (USB to PATA adapters are out there [Amazon etc...]) or mSATA (USB to MSATA) depending on the combo you went with.

I haven't fooled around with it yet, but if it's a bare bones image you should be in good shape. You'll need to put the code in for enabling Nav, but that's supposedly easy to do with a USB key in the glove box (though mine hasn't worked at all since CIC replacement)

If I were you I'd pay the $20, download and install the image, and toss it in the car to see what happened.

|| So I downloaded the file but the image is 7zipped with a password, No idea what the password is..
