Retrofit Individual Audio ?

Does anyone know if it is possible to retrofit the DIRAC Individual Audio components into a US-spec April 2012 X6 that currently has the Premium Sound Package?
These are my observations so far:
1. The amplifier in the rear of the X6 is identical externally to the Individual amplifier. The connection sockets are all the same although some of the 18 audio wires in the audio connector harness have different colors. They appear to map to the same places though.
2. Both amps use the MOST bus.
3. The iDrive options in this X6 with the Premium Sound Package are identical to those in a 2011 M3 that has Individual Audio.
4. The Individual Audio option is available in Canada and for M models.
5. The wiring changes appear to be relatively minor, e.g. hooking up crossovers in the front doors.

I have no interest in a non-BMW upgrade.
Would recoding be required?

Thanks !
