ah ok. If you decide you want to try it out, take a look here:

(The DIY guide is pretty useful, that's what I followed).

There is also a "NCSDummy" that makes it much easier to interact with NCSExpert.

I go by m5james on that site as well, I just haven't gotten up the courage to try it out.

In your X5 4.8i there is the same config in IHKA-ECU as in my car.
So you can use my coding 1/1.

The DIY document is pretty well put together, and you can't go wrong. You seem to be very comfortable doing much more daring things IMO (replacing injectors, etc.), so this should only require a fraction of courage compared to those .

Mechanical screw ups are obvious though! Miss a letter in coding and I'll be having flashbacks of my Commodore 64 programming days as a pretten, reading line by line...ugg lol

Thread revival!

My wheel was going in and out on its own for a while, but one day, it just stopped, no idea why. It still moves up down in and our fine, just doesn't do it on key cycling.

My guess is something may be ready to break? Anyone have anything happen like this?

I am not going to search for a fix, as I like this way better, and nothing else is screwy (yet)

You know what, for a while I could swear my wheel AND seat bolster inflations were only activating SOMETIMES when I got in the car. Then sometimes I thought possibly just the seat bolsters were not activating. Or that if I was out of the car less than 5-10 mins maybe they had just stayed put?
Lately they seem to be working every time again...
I need to pay closer attention but with two young boys to get settled in the back seat I don't always have enough bandwidth to accomodate everything

Hi Seppl-Fahrer,

good gob!
just coded mine to stop that column buzzing in and out
did you ever figure how to make the sunroof close when it starts raining?
thanks

You can still adjust the steering wheel on the control lever in length and height.
Also the memory function - in combination with comfort seats - works.

But the automatic steering column movement for "Easy Exit / Entry" has gone.
