thanks for the responses fellas. i thought it looked pretty cool and would be a cool feature, but.... i could hardlly sleep last night wondering what else has been inactivated from my coding session. im waiting for the guy to get back to me to change it back. i downloaded bmw standard tools and started following the steps to do it myself, but chickened out. that bmw coding forum has diy directions all scattered around. i need a step by step to just change it back.
