No, I was just replacing my FRM because it crashed while I was trying to code it for a few additional options. I believe battery voltage went too low during the actual writing process.

Prior to the replacement barely anything worked correctly or was in some sort of default operating mode. Then once it was replaced and coded by the dealer, most everything worked but the FRM still was not communicating with the dealer computer and power window operation was reversed left to right. They were puzzled.

They contacted some tech at BMW-NA, set up this special coding session, hooked up a laptop running some program and BMW-NA took over from there. Everything worked from that point and they could communicate with the FRM just fine.

Just mentioning it because one of your symptoms is similar. What it exactly means, I don't know and oddly enough, neither does BMW.
