• Ressler-Modul to sniff the I-bus or K-Bus (hardware)
• ATmel ISP-Programmer to program your ATmel (hardware)
  
• ATmega8 (beginning) or ATmega128 with integratet CAN-Controller
• a testboard for your ATmega8 to beginning...
  
• Bascom-AVR is the Software to combile your program for your desided ATmel and to burn the chip via
  
• PonyProg2000 is a Software to write/burn the program into ATmel

Rondo, rubin, I have very little experience coding but along with some local friends of mine I do have a bit. I sure would like to try this out! Can you guys very briefly give me the run down as to how hard this would be to code? Are we looking at a shot in the dark as far as trial and error goes with a possiblity of no end result? Or is it more of a trial and error with a good probability of resulting in sucess?! Realisticly how much time could we burn up? Hours, days, weeks, months, lol? Bottom line is that I don't want to start something that I'll end up having to waste a bunch of your guys time trying to help me out.

I'm tempted to go rubin's route simply for the mere fact that I'll learn a ton and gain the experience plus possibly open up a world of options to my X5.

But if you more experienced guys are advising me stick with my PAC TR7, I'll probably sulk but respectfully understand. I'll be honest, Rondo's method would work but rubin's requires little to no physical electrical alterations to the hardwiring of the X5. I'm a BIG fan of that! Keeps things clean and safe!

Wow my brain hurts just thinking about the ibus.I guess that i will have a new goal to learn more about this.Thank you Rubin for the list and i will continue to digest this new information I have the interface and the navcoder so i guess i will begin there.Like you chusteveb i wonder how much time is needed?Just to finish the tr7 subject i found the wire colours at the door for the lock (trigger signal)it should be the black #2 pin & the key lock wire( which you found )is blue with red stripe #7pin let me know if these are correct on your car please. cheers Rondo

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Those wires are correct! I went ahead and extended them through the factory door jam boot into the cabin of the car. I may not be using the door lock as a trigger since I have found that the e-light module I installed has a programable output. I'm going to do a little more research on it and see if it will work. I'll keep you posted.
