I am eventually looking to do this also, Total BMW were going to run a feature and it was advertised as going to be in their July issue. The article was missing so I emailed the editor, he has assured me it will be in the August edition which is on sale on Friday 17th July.

Might be worth a look if it is in the mag.

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.

Or you could throw in a Dension Gateway 500 + BTA1500 and be off alot cheaper.

Someone said Dension will no longer sell the BT module due to complication with BMW idrive or something.

You need to disable the TCU (just pull out the fiber optic cable and use the black plastic "connector" on the side to complete the fiber loop), after that, it works perfectly.
