Chris,

I don't know what this box does, but I do know a way
around most of the blanks in the CD. There is a
section on parts information on the CD (don't know how
it's called in English as my CD is installed in
German). There you can find a subsection on parts use,
i.e. when you type in a parts number, it tells you on
which cars it was used. I found out that a significant
number of CS parts do not give hits on the CS, but do
so on the E12 (first fives) or 1502-2002 range. From
there, you can go back to the normal parts search
using the specs of one of the cars from the hit list.

Best,

Mathis
