Jochen,

I kind of understand what you say, but there are a number of 'what ifs'.

What if the car had been ordered with SES active (and the customer had paid for it)? Would that coding still have been deleted?
What if this change had been done by a dealer (and evidently some dealers can and do activate X3's SES)? Would the coding be deleted?

I wonder how BMW record and act on 'legitimate' coding of options against 3rd party coding of options? For example, when I had Nav retrofitted by the dealer in my E46, they printed out a vehicle options sheet which had the Nav and Bluetooth SA numbers added to the option list. So when THEY do a coding (retrofit), they do record it somewhere.

I'm actually not at all narked about them deleting the NavCoder applied changes - after all, it's no biggie for me to re-activate it. I am just surprised that the changes WERE deleted, but more importantly that they didn't read and check the settings first. Just shoddy really, and kind of typical of 'rip-off Britain' where we have to put up or shut up when it comes to service, and have to 'bend over and take it' when it comes to paying....

Your software is VERY much appreciated. In a country where you are fined and possibly banned from driving for even TOUCHING your mobile phone when sitting in the drivers seat, for BMW not to have activated SES/VR as standard but to charge you big bucks is just ourtageous.

Keep up the good work and developments.

PS. Why are some 'Part Numbers' displayed by the NavCoder scan in Hex, for example the Tel module is :

TEL Telephone:
Part number 01D5321, version HW 09, SW 66, made by Visteon on 32/04 (August 2004)
Diagnostic index 15, Bus index 13, Encoding index 03
