Looked into coding my new e70 for a month or so but couldn't/wouldn't pull the trigger because after having a few misadventures with computers over the years I decided that it wasn't worth my time (or stomach lining) to try myself.....
I know there are those who say it was simple but you know that feeling of getting to a spot and you hit the keystroke and hope it works but you realize it didn't and oh s#%t now my weekend is ruined and quite possibly my car?

There are ,to me at least, some things worth paying for and this was well worth it..Couldn't have been easier...
Bought my own cable online (mike gave me a discount for having it)
He sent me an email with links to a few files which I downloaded
The next day hooked up laptop to car, he hooked into mylaptop and I read a golf magazine while he worked his stuff.
Everything worked as planned.

Great service,very professional

To those who want to do it themselves, good luck...
