Okay!!! I can do that!!
It all started when I was looking for an update to my Durango... Intro to my new 2004 X5 4.4L with lots of options... Oh, maybe not that far back in history... Apologies...
Well, after I rebuild the motor and had it running in the X, I decided to take it for an initial test drive... As soon as all the fluids got up to normal temp, the trans faulted out and would not indicate what position the shifter was in... I did the research and it pointed to the EGS module on the Mechatronics (valvebody)... I figured out it faulted out at around 112 dec C using INPA... Figured it was the lifetime fluid hitting the END of it's lifetime... I changed the fluid, filter, and the recommended seals... It did not fix it... So, I bought a 2006 trans... Since it was cheaper to get the whole thing in favor of buying just the mechatronics... Just as my luck would have it, the 2006 was NOT a "Sport" model... So, now the trans faults out upon initial start up... There isn't a line in NCS Expert that I can toggle to "Sport" mode... All the entries in the module are "wertz 18" or some odd number with a meaning only the guy in the basement of the BMW R&D lab knows...
So, in short, if I can turn on "Sport" mode in the Mechatronics, the VIN being different really doesn't matter to me... If I can program or code the EGS to work with my VIN, I'll go with that too!!! I'm close to installing the original Mechatronics and put some extreme trans fluid cooler on it... Just to see if that would keep the original from faulting out...
This is the long version of the short story...
Thanks so very much for your time!!
Cheers!!!
