Combox 4G retrofit

So as well all know, the old Combox has been replaced with the 4G hardware for 2017. I want to retrofit the new hardware in myself since it seems that the main job is replacing the Combox itself and the dealer wants to charge me way too much for them to do it. I really do want the ConnectedDrive/BMW Assist services.

Is it as easy as swapping 84102447926 in and activating the service? And then maybe have a local tuner program it in and/or update the software? I can't seem to find any information on anyone DIYing this but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
