Connecteddrive not Activated

I bought my 2018 BMW 540i (G30) from the official dealer in Abu Dhabi. Due to some government restrictions, the Connecteddrive features in the car are disabled.

The features are active in cars bought from Dubai (in the same country, different state), so I know that I can get the services, if I find a way to activate them.

Does anyone know a DIY method to activate Connecteddrive features in the car? The car has the hardware ready for this.

I'm living in Dubai they also disabled most of the connected drive features which makes even the paid activation not worth it

Found this thread while searching for the same topic. I am about to receive my 4 series later this week and as usual Abu Dhabi Motors does not support Connecteddrive. I checked the VIN on my car though and all the connecteddrive features are listed out. Did you have any luck activating when in Dubai?

ConnectedDrive will be disabled on most (some 2016's will be upgraded) F10's at the end of this month. The 3G sunset is costing me a boatload!
