Everything worked perfectly. I was able to make all the changes I wanted to do. Im so glad I don't need anyone to do it for me.
Only thing I couldn't find using BMW Scanner is where the option for the key-in ignition chime/gong is....
also, some of the modules I cant access. is this because they are not available on the e53, or because I need to open up the reader and connect/soldier some of the connections together like in some tutorials/videos i found online?
you know what annoys me Perrier, you.... probably also wears his mask in the car with his side markers. got that extra large rearview mirror too. Typical Canadian, mind your business. bro. your input really helped on this thread. |
Yes, you might have to do just that--solder pins 7 & 8 together. I had to do that on my scanner because I only could read the DME. But hey...I only spent like $5 for my BMW 1.4.0 scanner.
To answer your other inquiry, the gong/chime option is in there too. Should be in the KOMBI.
But congratulations on getting it working!
