BMW Scanner 1.4.0 PA soft review

[ake53]

hello everyone.
I have been using my Romanian software, and it is great but sometimes takes a while to load up. So i decided to the buy the next thing "bmw scanner 1.4.0"
-in hopes of getting rid of cluster dot, sync ike.
-easy coding
-fast diagnostics

-well the only thing i was able to code was the euro emergency lights. (double blink)
-key in ignition gong
-dash messages such as key in ignition, fasten seat belts disabled.

*no matter what i tried to disable the red seat belt indicator it would get rid of the light but throw a srs light. So its best to mess with srs settings.

so far, that's all i found, there's no way to easy program windows to continuous close with open windows or close all with key fob.

Will update once I find out more.
cost of cable with download link software from china $40, the original is 650+

What is the double blink listed under/as?

The close windows via key is there...it's in the 'central body electronic' module I think, I did it on mine with the same software.

In NCSExpert its under WARNBLINKER ..... change einfachimpuls to doppelimpuls

DOUBLE BLINK was in lcm i think. need to check and I had all the options checked before i got to it for opening and closing windows.

Lol I have read Terminator and Slick's threads so much on the topic that I start to memorize the coding lines. It's sad!

Luckily majority of the options (except a small few) are in English, so it's not that bad. I would suspect someone wanting to do higher level functions would take the time to become (if they aren't already) proficient with something like ncs or a gt1.

One of the other major BMW forums (forgive me, but I don't recall off hand which one) already has a huge thread on this program....should be relatively easy to find though!

NCS expert is relatively easy.. just program one module at a time, it does have ability to "program" all at once but works selectively... when you do individual modules, you can see the results right away...

Hey guys, I am a new X5 owner (new owner, not new X5), 2005, 3.0lt diesel.

Let's say that I am less than thrilled with the knowledge the people at the local stealership have about this car, so I would be interested in buying some software/OBDC gizmo to check the car settings and adjust them to my liking.

Could you please provide me with some suggestions for both hardware and software? Obviously, the less expensive the solution, the better.

Many thanks for your attention.
