You can take it to dealership and pay for greece map. If you have apple carplay you can use it.. if you dont have it, either pay dealer 300 or someone here can give you software for self installation less than 100.

Radio wise i really dont know.

I'm in the process of moving my M850i from Canada to Europe. It's on the ship as we speak. I've done a fair bit of research into this and while it's still not crystal clear what will work when it arrives. My car has ID7 with MGU Head Unit, so likely a few differences in coding and what can be done. Some things I do know:

- Connected Drive likely won't work as the telematics box in the car is North America specific.
- I ordered a region change and map update to convert from NA maps to Europe (MGU Live maps). It came on a USB and I will plug it in and change it when I get the car again in Europe. PM me and I'll give you the company who sent me the package if you like. But there are others on this forum that can likely help as well with your map/HU version.
- The radio frequencies will need to be coded to Europe in likely the HU and RAM modules to give you working radios.
- I changed my tail lights to EU/ECE spec ones with rear fog lights and amber turn signals and changed to light control switch, along with coding my BDC_Body(3) to operate the separated turn signals.

Glad to see you have working Carplay, my fingers are crossed that mine will still work there.

Hope this helps a little.

tail lights to EU

- I changed my tail lights to EU/ECE spec ones with rear fog lights and amber turn signals and changed to light control switch, along with coding my BDC_Body(3) to operate the separated turn signals.




Could you describe in detail how you coded.
I found
LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_OUTPUTCHANELINDEX G30_ESE_HELC
LIC_LOG_LAMP_2_OUTPUTCHANELDATA G30_ESE_HELC
But the brake light and turn signal light only on the outer part
