little off topic guys, do I need to have battery charger/tender to be connected to battery while doing coding? Is this necessary or just a percussion? I have iCarly adapter ready to go. If it's a good idea to have a charger connected could you recommend one? tyall

thx guys!
I stopped by service center on my way from work today and spoke to my service adviser, there are 2 recalls right now: 1st injectors (I scheduled appointment for Thursday March 3rd.) 2nd for Airbag (obviously) no parts available yet but we know that! They suppose to call me when parts are in. Since I was there I checked the accessories shop as always got the BMW charger (always a good idea to have even if I'm not gonna use it for coding) and this little thing, I love it

I have the correct cable and even have the software, or at least I think I do. I'm stuck at configuring the software and getting the initial setup loaded. I'm worried that if the software is this hard to set up, that it might be that much harder to code. It's not nearly as simple as it is on my S4 and R8. And there is one thing that I'd really really, REEEEALLY like to have coded that I haven't seen yet, and that is to code for the navigation to be able to automatically switch back and forth from day and night modes. I just don't understand how a 2013 X5 M doesn't have this capability from the get-go! I'm hoping and praying that someday I'll find the coding offered for this.

If you go to this thread and request the files, you'll be on a good start http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=699036 When you install BMW Standard Tools 2.12, right click it, set compatibility as Windows XP SP3. I also downloaded the latest daten files off torrent sites, it had all of the chassis (or a lot of them since the file was around 15 gigs). Then I searched around for coding profiles .pfl files and english translation. I skipped the INPA part in the NCS diys where they tell you to check airbags. I don't think E70 is compatible with INPA. |

Not sure if this has been mentioned earlier but has anyone been able to eliminate the fog light illumination when turning or using your blinker? I always thought it looked like I had a fog light out because of this feature and personally find it pointless.
