I wonder if someone can catch these "flickers" in video or is the flicker rate is too fast to catch on camera but visible to naked eye. |

It's fast, but it should be able to be caught on video easily.

Thanks for the video post. It blinks like this 3 times very fast at each engine start-up without the coding.
Haha, good analogy.

Been reading this post and I plan to do some coding with my X5 (adaptive headlights, remote open/close tailgate). I don't use ebay to buy, but I want to purchase that ethernet cable to connect the X5. I found this cable http://www.amazon.com/Interface-Ethe.../dp/B00BFRW6FO on amazon and was wondering if its the same or similar to the one you use. Also, what other common coding modifications can be done that are popular with the F15? Thanks. |

That looks like the correct cable. Best wait for somebody else to confirm though!
Regarding coding - see Opasha's very helpful coding thread: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1033991 |

Oh awesome. I didn't know you carried OBD2 cables, so I just referred everyone to where I bought mine originally and was satisfied with it. I'm a creature of habit .

I try not to solicite much. But I personally build the cable and test them 1 by 1.

Now, I think we can also use this cable for other OBDII diagnostics, right? Do you know if there is a software for the PC that we can use?

Unfortunately no. The pin-out for OBDII diagnostics would be different as they are usually using serial port / USB.

I see. Thanks. Edit: ScanGaugeII uses RJ45. Does it also work as diagnostics or strictly stats? I think $200 for just stats is too much. http://www.amazon.com/ScanGauge-Auto...dp/B000AAMY86/

They use the RJ45 type connector, but not the same configuration as the Coding cable. For that price, if you have 35i with N55, the JB4 Stage 2 can also run diagnostics and clear codes since it is connected to the CAN Bus.

Thanks for the information both of you, I am not interested in clearing codes but just wanted see if I can use the coding cable for other situations like decoding the CEL when it's not giving me information on the iDrive.

If you are using other OBDII software, it uses different port. I thought you were talking about using the E-Sys cable for different diagnostics software.
