In answer to your question above, from MY 2009, in the USA, MYINFO is included.

It is very hard for me to understand the reason of introducing a completely new protocol TCU in mid-production and not allowing any new features that that new protocol can in fact perform. Especially for the E9x M3 short '08 run of 5 production months. This is not like the 04' E46 TCU fiasco of not having a functional Bluetooth section, although it came with the pairing code and -for some months- even with the Bluetooth antenna; that was a pure hardware issue. This looks like it is simply software.
I bet that the Canadian TCU is the same P/N as the USA TCU from 04/08...
