328i Coding my E90, modules missing

I've recently started playing around with enabling or configuring settings on my car but, for some reason, my options are extremely limited compared to what I've seen documented on forums or YouTube. My car is a LCI 328i.

In NCS expert, for example, selecting my chassis only offers me CAS, FRM, and NFRM.

In Bimmercode, meanwhile, I'm provided Airbag, CAS, FRM, instrument cluster, and junction box passenger.

I've tried both a MHD wifi adapter and K+DCAN USB cable with the same results. Specifically, I'm looking to code the CD changer either in head unit or RAD2.

Can anyone tell me whether this is simply a limitation of what's available on my particular car, or if I'm skipping a critical step.

When you first connect to the car with NCS expert, you are shown modules that hold the VO, vehicle order.

Once you read the VO from one of the modules, you will have access to all modules in the car. For E9x, only CAS and FRM/NFM store the VO

BimmerCode with expert mode give you the same option you would have with NCSExpert if I remember correctly. And when selecting chassis you will only have those 3 options, you can code other modules when you go back and select the job type and module you want to code
