There are ways to do this for free (cic patcher) however you need to be able to code and have the appropriate coding cable.
That’s awesome news, I was almost going to buy a module. When I couldn’t find any connectors in the trunk, I got kind of suspicious that something was different here. Thank you for educating me!!
So - I have done several things on the X5 via coding, and if it’s just a matter of changing a setting from ‘nicht aktiv’ to ‘aktiv’ that should be easy. But, I have heard of CIC changes that can only be applied by editing files (nettodata) and for that, I’m not as comfortable. I’ll check it out! Thanks again
