here's where I got the software:

Bmw INPA Ediabas, NCS Expert tool, WinKFP - BMW forum. Diagnostics, coding, programming, repair BMW vehicles.

scroll down to the software section and there's a link so some eastern europe site. I downloaded it there. It's about 650MB.

Thanks for the offer on the daten files, but another member here already sent me the files.

I'll try this whole coding deal once i get the cable. i'll keep you posted.

Ok, I didn't install the software from that Russian site, I ended up following digdesign's tip and got the BMW Coding Tool Pack and the latest Daten v47.1 from torrents. This seems to have everything we need.

Haha i grabbed them all to be safe
Don't want to be hunting them down later

I have successfully coded my 10/2012 Manufacture MY13 X5!!

The bits I have coded are
1. The iDrive Disclaimer
2. DVD in motion (CIC)
3. Wiper to complete swiping when vehicle is switched off
4. Closing the Tailgate with the internal button (Opening and closing tailgate was available with key fob when I bought the car)
5. Folding Mirrors on pressing button on key fob. (Opening and closing windows and sunroof available with key fob when I bought the car)

I wanted to set the Fog Lights to "on" when Headlights were switched on, but I found that this was already activated.

I have had my car for just under 2 weeks....

I would like to thank Mark From Tampa who patiently explained and helped me get started. I would also like to thank Chris from BM Technic in the UK, whose Cable, Software and assistance was all it took....I do not have any vested interest in BM Technic, but Chris' cables and software is ALL YOU NEED!!!

just out of curiosity if i were to code an option that i may not have like opening/closing the tailgate from key fob.
what would happen? i'm assuming nothing but just want to be safe.
