Re: E9X Coding
Finally successfully coded my car with some interesting features:
1) Digital speed display on instrument cluster
2) DRL with License Plate lights
3) AE as DRL (having issue using my BC to activate, finally get it working with coding)
The cable is cheap at about US$20, the coding software is free on the internet. The coding process takes less than 5mins to code if you find the right code and know what you are doing. Previously, I get Munich to disabled the seat belt alarm, and central locking when the car is travelling, and they charge me $80plus for it!
The most challenging part is actually getting the software to run on the laptop. It took me 1 week to get the coding software running on my laptop, and 3 days to successfully code my first features
There is actually all kind of interesting codes available for E39/E46/E60/E70/E71/E90, F10/F20/F25/F30. Some of the features has already stated in this thread.
