My Ride: 2002 545i sport pckg,sirius,active steering,grey on black
The VPC was replaced on my 545i and then ver. 15 was downloaded and
the car refused to start. Apparently ver. 15 crashed everything and is buggy,
prompting BMW to recall it on Fri{per my dealer Laurel BMW,Johnstown,Pa.}
They are now going to reload ver 13. whatever and if this doesn't work,remove
the DME and ship it to New Jersey for reprogramming. Will keep you posted.

Well,my dealer just called.....the attempt to reload ver13[15?] failed after
the new VPC [vavletronic control module?] was installed. Now, the DME must
be removed and shipped from Johnstown,Pa to Newark. At this time there is
much wailing,beating of brows and rending of garments. It is now in the
second week in the shop.
