Unfortunately, you can't. Authorize.net does not support this functionality. The CIM (Customer Information Manager) API and the ARB (Automated Recurring Billing) API are two separate entities. If you want to create recurring transactions for existing customers you have two options. 1.) Write the functionality for recurring billing yourself using the payment gateway information you have already or 2.) Obtain the customer information again and use the ARB.
