When I said the correct LCM I meant one with the correct code for the 2006 facelift. I tried various forums but no one could give me the code which is why I bought the scanner to change the mileage and VIN.
Don't know if this is relavant anymore since you are just asking for a tool that will do it, not if the BMW scanner will do it.
I connected my BMW scanner and as you say it will not read the code. It does as you also say read the EEPROM data which it saves to a file on the PC.
My guess is that you can edit the line in the file and write it back using the write button on the scanner. Of course if it all goes wrong (also as previously said) you may end up with a very expensive brick on your drive.
With regards to the correct tool. As you said there are many options on these cars and I imagine it would be very expensive to make a tool that will change every option on every software version.
If it were me I would just take a portable radio rather than risk a flat battery in the middle of nowhere.
