I assume you want this for the hotspot feature, as it makes little difference to anything else?

This will be a replacement component within the 5f unit, so unlikely to be a component protection issue as you will be using your original 5f. However when I looked previously i couldn't find a LTE module with the correct interface in the aftermarket/

The original batch or cars came with a Telit UC864-E-AUTO, see http://www.lte.com.tr/uploads/pdf/190.pdf

I haven't checked but I suspect later cars came with a wide band version of that. What you need is a 4G/LTE replacement, but when I was looking a year or so ago they were all packaged with different interfaces - so not plug and play?
