Software update tonight
Sorry to open up a new thread but have little time to get feedback. I will get SW tnight overnight actually. That is how they do it here. My question is could i ask the to code something harmless such as m performance welcome screen or smthg of that sort. Can they at the service do smthg more easily or it has to be someone very skilled to do smthg? They kind of owe me a favor bcs theyve been stalling this SW update for a long time. Thanks a lot for your feedback. Cheers

Depends how strict your service center is. If they are very strict, they won't do it and might even raise an eyebrow to check other things if you've coded a lot of stuff. If they're relaxed and don't care, someone should be able to do it without issue because I'm pretty sure they're equipped with the full software to do all coding. Personally, I wouldn't take the chance. If you have the equipment and software setup, I'd be happy to code those things for you. That's the best advice I can give. If you do ask them, I hope they're nice enough to do it for you .

Just ask them if they can do it or not. Don't get extra attention saying that you've already done it and/or will do it again. There's always 50/50 chance No, there's actually a 3rd option: when dealer says they can't do it because BMW prohibits them from doing it via blocking this in their software (LOLed at this comment) and then, when you show them that you've done it yourself, they don't give a crap, but one of the key managers wants you to code his car

For M Performance Splash Screen: It is in folder HU_NBT > 3001 > STARTUP_EMBLEM > variant 00 - change this to variant 01 and that will give you the M Splash screen upon start up - this must be FDL Coded. @Armen383, good advice as well and LOL at your 3rd option .

Also, as I mentioned to many others, I can help you with all this once you get everything you need from the opening page of the Coding Thread. The MAX you will spend is around $30-40 (if you need the USB pluggable adapter). The ESYS and PSDZData files are completely free.

Software update done, cruise control error message still there. Any ideas from you guys here? I told BMW that the chasis error message could be fixed by the update, but cruise control error (I do not have ACC) I have not heard on the forum yet. How it happened the first time was that as I was starting the car (more less at the same time) I started charging my iphone (via cigarette lighter socket). I told this to them if that could have caused it. Meaning if during systems control check you add additional burden or smthg, was ignored. Have no knowledge about this whatsoever, just guessing, could it be the fuse? I hope at least chasis malfunction messages will be gone.
Thanks a lot for feedback, cheers! |

That's a first time I've heard of an M3 being loaned out. Is it a company car? That's awesome. I'm glad they at least gave you something fun, but I know how you feel. Nothing is the same as your own car .

Cruise control error not fixed, ships log sent to Munich for analysis and advice. SW update changes very little (additional pop up menu in navi when you do not want additional info such as radio in the right top corner - slightly annoying). I was hoping that new update would mean i get a message when i turn on steering heating, sadly that is left out so one has to look under the wheel to make sure its on. Chasis error shld be fixed though. So soon back at the service. F15 is a great car, good to drive it again.

Can you not just put your hands on the steering wheel? It only takes a few seconds to know mine is on!
