Need a CODER

Hi friends,

I live in a small town where the closest BMW dealership is 2000 km away so i had to bring it to a private mechanical shop. My X5 2010 shows that my battery die which i just recently changed with a new one than a year. The power window can not go down and my signal lights are not responding. The mechanic i went to said he is not familiar in repairing an BMW but he believe its a faulty FRM and told me to get it reprogram at a bmw dealership(2000km away).

I brought a second hand FRM online and try to encode it myself. When replacing the old one with the one i just brought, the signal lights and the power window some what works. But alot of other problems occur now.

I am a complete car noob and would like to ask anyone who can encode it for me or know a person that would do it through the computer. Of course i would pay for the service. Today i was playing around with the encoder and left the car on too long and car wont turn on... NEED help asap. really need the car for work. Much appreciated.

Just a thought, I received a letter from BMW last week, that there is an extended warranty on the FRM module. The dealer is a trek, but might be worth it if they replace and code it properly under warranty.
