OK, back from my vacation so I decided to dive in and try the coding thing tonight, the BMW dealership is 1 mile from my house so knowing software and I have never have gotten along, I drove down there and did it in their parking lot in case I fried something. Yeah I know that’s impossible, but color me paranoid.

It went perfect. I decided to take baby steps since it was my first time and just coded the start stop to remember last setting, and get rid of the seatbelt reminder.

But yeah you do kind of get that yecch in your stomach after it codes, when all the alarms tell you to take it to a dealership because all the modules are mad at you, but then they all go away on a restart like the above said.

I will say I got a lot of peace of mind using the ENET cable instead of a Bluetooth adapter. I set the iPad so everything was off: Bluetooth , Wi-Fi , set airplane mode, hooked up the cable and the pad saw the ethernet right away. I also left my phone at home so it wouldn’t interfere.

So tomorrow:

Display idrive system m logo
Audio 30 pct volume
Start amimation m
Unlock doors automatically on shutdown
Fold mirrors Automatically on lock
