Replacing the Body Domain Controller (BDC)

--2015 X5 (F15)--
Has anyone replaced just the BDC by itself?

After mechanical replacement of the unit. ISTA+ says to

"Carry out vehicle programming/encoding."

Resetting additional start lock:
- 01 drive
- Engine start
- Reset the start inhibit

I have ISTA/P for programming/encoding, but is it fully automatic to completion? Are the key fobs are setup for remote control, the engine anti-theft system is made to work properly, and so on?

I'm concerned that once I start ISTA/P it'll ask for something unexpected which I don't have.

Separately, when changing the BDC, ISTA+ says I have to obtain an "enabling code" for my stereo head unit. I assume that's the stereo's theft deterrent, and it won't work w/o a new code. ISTA+ says to get the code from "Technical Support". Anyone know how I can contact this entity?
