I too was supprised that it worked, but like a lot of BMW service manager's they don't know much about how the cars work, so you get a load of BS.
What have you got to loose? get it enabled the take it back and show him, might be a laugh
Do you know what versionof ULF it is??

So, will have a go with Navcoder now I have the car back - just got to find a good point to tap into the i-bus that doesn't mean ripping the car to bits - unfortunately(!) I have a CD changer so I cannot easily get at the i-bus port for the changer under the arm rest - think I will haul the Mk4 out and tap in there.

Why not get one of them cheap telemute leads an mod it for the I-bus (this is what I've done, that way you get +12v -tive and Ibus from the radio and it can be presented as a standard plug).
Its a simple mod and you don't then have to hack the cars loom about.

How has everyone tapped in? Using a 'Scotchlock' type thing (the type that breaks into the cable) or just poking wires into the correct connector?
|
Not to sure if this is a good idea, you could be asking for trouble down the line.

Wouldn't mind a semi-permanent solution - perhaps installing the Resler interface into the car somewhere and then just having a USB port on the car would be good......

This is what i have done, the I-bus interface on mine sits in the boot and I just connect the laptop up when I need it.
Just a thought.
