Looking for Local Coding Shops

The head unit died in my X5, meaning nothing worked: navigation, radio, chimes, etc. So I bought a used one off ebay, installed it and it works - for the most part.

The navigation icon is greyed out and I need to have the head unit coded to my X5's VIN (currently coded to the donor X5's VIN) in order for the navigation to work.

Anyone have any references for shops/coders that can do this?

Thanks.
