Now is 56 dollars worth it... With video games, it's no problem, but for a cable... hmmm

Oh, and do you have a BMW charger too? I heard they're kind of necessary for doing anything more than just coding a couple of modules

haha i have a job so 56 dollars was nothing to me and the benefit that I'm learning how to do it myself instead of paying some1 else to do it like most of the people on here and no i don't have a "bmw charger" any charger/ battery tender will do but it takes no more than 5 mins to code one thing so you don't need it, unless your doing some bigger things maybe like updating firmware. etc..

Xeronix

Well don't you have to like buy a 24 hour subscription to BMW's website to update your firmware? Is that even worth it? Not to mention the ridiculous amount of time it takes to update

black360

no because I'm not updating firmware. you would need a whole different cable and a few other things to say the least...im just recoding the module which takes 5 mins once u know what your doing

Xeronix

Well, it looks like I'll have to find 57 dollars to go fork up the money to buy a cable

I still need to see if my dealer will upgrade my firmware.... I don't want to leave the car there though haha

ddd

Is that auction item posted by the same seller you purchsed the cable from?

black360

yes it is, for reference i have a 2006 525 and it worked fine with mine , shipping took 13 days tho but its free shipping so i didn't complain lol

Any idea if you can code my LCI tails to have the brake effect?
Me you and tyler should meet up soon get some pics and get some coding done lol. And do you have a mac? If so are you using boot camp to run the programs or anything for mac out yet?

black360

YES we all have too!!! and nooo I'm borrowing my friends laptop with crappy windows 2000 on it and doing it from that,, otherwise u know me I'm all about the macs but yess since your car is LCI i can do many more things than i cam do to my also you have LM2 which is awesome
