Hello and thanks to OP for the post.
I have a 09/2008 USA and I want to get rid of RDC. I could not find the right connector in the right inner wheel well. I did find the plastic ECU casing but because all three rows are occupied there is a lot of connectors and cabling and the accessible ECU's don't have the right connector, plus there is another ECU mounted to the side at the front of the housing making it impossible to extract the housing from the well.
I don't get it why this inaccessible location was chosen, while there is plenty of space below the trunk floor cover. typical BMW.. Surprised they don't put ECU's in the roof.
I've seen how other brands just use a sort of backplane where you just insert ECU's into. Don't have to mess around with cable looms that way. poor design BMW !

Update: I've found that removing use F27 isn't an option because it will disable the iDrive controller.
