This would only apply to a new DME. Yours is not new.

@SlickGT1 Blakey 2000 swap out a new or rebuilt DME.

@Blakey2000 Do you still have the old DME?

Have you tried reinstalling some of the old parts?

according to his first post,

I also replaced the DME with one from ecudoctors.com

so.... not sure if it would have cleared adaptations.

Blakey, what software do you have to work on the car. If you do not have GT1/DIS, we are all pissing in the wind.

@SlickGT1, Blakey2000 is running carsoft 6.5

[SlickGT1]

I am not familiar with carsoft 6.5. Is it as useful as DIS?

[upallnight]

I don't know I used Carsoft 6.5 when I had my E34 because it had the BMW proprietary round socket, but since they now use a regular OBD II socket in the E53, I have gone over to an APP for my Android phone and tablet. I use the free app Torque on my phone and the paid App Torque Pro on my Tablet.

I am not familiar with DIS or GT1.

[SlickGT1]

DIS is what the dealers have and use to work on BWM. Very nice piece of software.

[upallnight]

I guess I need to get one of those Romanian cable and a copy of DIS, or maybe I just go and change the point on my Lotus. Glad I don't need a computer to work on the Lotus or Porsche.

[SlickGT1]

Yea you should get the software. It really isn't that expensive, but will make your life super easy.
