Maybe, probably ... but because we're travelling into a not so inexpensive UNKNOWN on this ... I don't want to be kinda responsible for people possibly wasting money. This isn't for most people - that's why I want to share my experience. Because right now, there really isn't much info. and we're definitely taking a chance.

Tom, yup! I took one look at the diagnostics screen and was like ... uh, oh! And that's not even the coding screen!

Lemme update the first post with a warning.

Maybe if we kindly ask, our resident BMW Tech can author a few DIY's/ using the GT1.

Nice looking unit

I am guilty person #2

As soon as my T30 shows up and I have time to play with mine, I will also add to this thread.

I think if I can VM p-v (physical to virtual) this HDD and T30, it should run on any laptop. If I can get the .vmdk's to work... all you will need is the head and free copy of VMplayer.

I can not wait to figure out how to adjust ride height, program the auto window up via key and some others.

I'm glad you guys spoke up. If we all share our knowledge, we'll all benefit. The first real DIY from me will be the EASY turn off the DRLs! Right now I want to share what we got, why and how to set it up.

Those things you mentioned should be easy to do based on my experience with turning off the DRLs.

I'll leave the VMware for you Steve as that's probably way over my head.

The first day I went to Get my Dinan stuff done.....they had to bump me......without me asking..they said we took care of your request to shut off the DRL's at no charge......I was suprised and did not ask any questions.....LOL!

Rich

This is kinda expensive just to turn off the DRLs, huh?

If someone wants to turn off their DRLs, and they trust me, I'm all for it - just let me at least enjoy the meet though!

After you meet them, then start your DIY to turn off the DLR's , while ppl getting drunk.
