Hi miamipanther,

I'm in the area and would love to take you up on this. My X5 is on order with expected delivery end of this month/early Dec but wanted to add my name to the list now if okay.

Thank you!
Mike

Terrific. I'll reach out once I have the vehicle ... I work up in Redmond (Microsoft) so hopefully can coordinate something convenient for you.

There were many hours spent to learn how to code 2012 model, it's difficult to code new car than old models due to software issues.


In case you need to code 2012 E70 DIY, here are the tricks I can share with you to make your life easier:

1. SP-daten-E70 version must be updated properly to V41 or higher to work with 2012 models
2. EDIABAS must be updated to 7.2 or beyond properly; The one in the guide is 6.4 which won't work with v41 daten;

Thanks for this info -- my cable is on the way, and I can't wait till it gets here to do this. While waiting, can you point us to where you found the updated versions of the software for the 2012 models? Thanks again.

I didn't save the links, but somewhere at BMW forum. Diagnostics, coding, programming, repair BMW vehicles.,

I'd be glad to offer the same services for free, I'm in the south jersey/philadelphia area if anyone around here wants anything coded. send me a message and let me know.

Miamipanther,

I have a 2011 X5 35d in Bellevue and would love to have you show me the ropes with a little coding. In return, I'll buy a cable, pay attention and offer to help some other folks. I'm decent with software, but have not been able to track down the v41 daten files so at a minimum your help in locating would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Kurt

You guys are luck; wish there was someone in the Tampa area.

MP-

I purchased this cable, then just opened it to tie the two bus pins together:
Amazon.com: OBD2 OBD II Diagnostic USB Cable For KKL409.1 VAG-COM 409: Camera & Photo

(Yes, it uses the right FTDI chipset)

Only used it on the E39 so far...any reason to think it would not work?
