Accidentally Coded DME HELP

kikocarv · 07-10-2020, 04:01 PM

Hello guys,

I own a X5 F15.

I accidentally coded the DME CAFD file, didn't chage anything, I just inadvertently right clicked on it and then clicked on code.

I'm worried because the program prompted a window at the end with one error.
Car seems fine, it showed ESP and P Brake warning but after ignition off and on no warnings and the car runs with no apparent problems.

Should I be worried?

Yes, you should (seriously). Not because of the rather lucky result of your click, but by the fact that you did it and it could result with a very, very expensive bill to pay. In other words, you went two clicks too far and that should be a serious warning for future.

For peace of mind, why don't you run diagnostics with ISTA?
