Hi ,
If you want to update the software in the mark3 then you only need the correct cd not a gt1
Version 1-3/63 is the latest possible with the mark3..What version do you presently have?
I use software named navcoder to customise the nav system this is easier and does lots more than what the gt1 can do.

That is an idea Rondo, thanks for the input. I would have to build the interface or purchase the Resler interface and neither is an option for me. Besides, changing the startup screen is as far as I'm willing to go when playing around with the software without the GT1, which BMW uses, or an Autologic system. Other than the navigation, I was hoping to change the other settings programmed into the car's system. I am asking for info because I was wondering if it's a worthwhile investment to purchase the GT1 and which version? I intend to keep my BMWs

For the E53 there is no point in buying a OPS. The OPS hasn't got any diagnostic ability it is only used for programming on cars newer than the E65. All you need is the EDIC (yellow head) which will allow diagnostics and programming.

I was reading about the dreaded "SELFLEVEL SUSP INACT" message when one forumer posted that all that had to be done to fix his error message was to
reprogram the boot up sequence for the system check. I wonder if this is done with the GT1 and if anyone in this thread has done the same.

Here's the post:

"hi all,

There are alot of replies and forgive for not reading all of them and if a repeat somethin... BUT since having my x5 4.4 i have had the susp inac warning around 5 times and every dealer who has checked says its fine, I can feel and see its fine. One of the master bmw service guys told me it is to do with the system checking everything upon startup and sometimes there is a delay between them causing the checker(don't know lingo here) to think that the susp isn't activated when it hasn't given it a chance. He reprogrammed the boot up sequence and i have not had the issue since. This reconfiguration does not mean that the sensor for the suspension is disabled it works fine. "

The reason I asked about self test is that my GT-1 seems to work just fine but it fails the self test. I contacted Yohotech and they were no help at all.

speak to Jackey, though you have to be persistent in contacting them....when i had an issue with the first GT1 i had to send it back to them for repair, sent it the second time as it was completely unusable then they replaced it with the new one. i've spent a lot time talking to him over the phone prior to this. sent thousands of emails also fortunately they replaced it with the brand new one.

There are no DME faults, but the "turbine speed" fault in the EGS would be the cause of the transmission failsafe issues.
