How do you use the TCU number to get a number to sms the address to?

It could all be in vain anyway. Spoke with someone from BMW Assist again. Now that I had more info! It turns out that I have a V6 TCU in my car. The V7 TCUs that will come in September 09 MY will be MY INFO enabled. Older V6 TCUs, even though they use the new GSM system, are not programmed for MY INFO ??

Apparently the X6 had special test V5 TCUs installed, with MY INFO enabled. Its a test case or something, to make sure the system works correctly, before its rolled out properly in September across the rest of the models .....

Who knows whats going on? You get a different answer everytime you call them up .... hahahaha. oh well.
