Thanx

I will check it when I get home. The good thing about this scanner software is that you can access all the programmable modules in the E53. When a module is not installed, it will keep the tab disabled.

is there a way to program the mirrors to fold upon lock?

@aimtimes, yes there is, but you need to have convenience mirrors.

Just found a very cool feature programming. I have always hated the turning signal light turning on when xenon and angel lights are on. I just found that they can be programmed to never come on and only be used as signal lights. They never go on unless you are using your signal lights.

Now the X looks awesome!!!!

You should have a little button next to the one that set the mirror to adjust. In other words, if you cannot close your windows from a push button inside the car, then this option may not be available to you.

I coded the same today too. I also did the daytime running lights 2 US. I didnt like the daytime running light 1 US. I also noticed my fuel was set to petro. I switched it to gas. Can you get into the seat module. Im trying to change the comfort access on my seats. i get no data for that and for DME. I wondwer if i need to use the other diagnostic connector the round 1.

That's cool, the thing is that I need ONE scanner so I can do as many things I can.
Would you know if it can do new module coding?
thx

I tried this.

Transmission Learning Reset, Simply turn the key to position 2. Hold the accelerator to the click point for 25 seconds. Let go of the accelerator, start the engine and off you go. The transmission's learning algorithm will be reset to 0. Therefore, it will lose the slow and gentle acceleration that the previous owner used...

Is there any indication (bleep) that it's reset? I did it twice and nothing.
