Thats all.
Well I'm totally blind because I see no settings menu with ability to set Units.

I may have to code my car to english with carsoft.
That's what I'm going to try next.
What i ment was that you code your car to English, then modify software with navtwek, so english is replace with dutch.
That way you will have dutch menu, dutch voice guidence, while the rest of the car is in english.

Oh - you mean the Settings on the Nav computer, not in Navcoder. I thought you meant that there is a way in Navcoder to directly set units. Unfortunately the Nav computer Settings menu doesn't distinguish between Imperial gallons and US gallons.

Region = Europe, gallons is imperial

Regions = USA, gallons is US

There is no other way. If you are convinced you have something different, post a photo to show me. I can see immediately from your main MENU if you are in Europe or USA mode.

I'm in Euro mode, but if it's in Imperial gallon units, then I can disconnect the battery and the mode stays the same but it goes back to factory default of US gallons mode. The distance units remain as yards on the nav. This is a pretty well-known issue/solution.

I think going to Euro mode causes gallons to become Imperial, but removing power returns them to US default, but doesn't change the basic mode from Euro to US. Also, once you're in Euro mode/US gallon mode, then selecting metric for units means that it will go back to Imperial gallons if you try to go back from metric.

Since it somehow retains the US gallon memory as its original state, and can get into a Euro/US hybrid mode, I thought maybe Navcoder could also force it into this state.

Would it be possible with NavCoder to enable the blinking of the indicators when locking/unlocking doors? My car doesn't have alarm.

Also, would it be possible to enable the setting which automatically locks the doors when the car starts moving?

No, go to your local dealer, for 1h labor they will help you with all the Key and Car memory

All,

I've just bought a set of rear LED's (OEM) for my e46 coupe (July 02) and am trying to code the LCM to not display the warning lights, however everything I try fails.

I've plugged in the LED's (with the adaptor leads), and when I turn on the igniton (engine running), the LED's do a disco light show (which I assume is the bulb monitor), and then the lights work perfectly, but the bulb warnings come on, then go off, then come back on etc...

I follow the instructions from the navcoder pop-ups, but the LCM retains the original code, even though the pop-up says that the LCM has been successfully coded?

I've used navcoder to code the Nav, TV and VR on BT ULF so I know it all works.

Does the OEM (bulb) lights need to be in first (before the LED's) to code the LCM?
Does the lights need to be on?
Does the engine need to be running?

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Car; E46 330ci Coupe, July 02, factory bi-xenon,

NavCoder 2.3.5 actually don't code LCM for E46 correctly

I had troubles coding LCM into E46, if you want install leds into "light postion" taillight, code LCM for work with lower voltage, then only one side (front right) is showed error in warning bulb because this side have lower voltage and show the light into led very low bright

If coded rear lights, then only to rear-left send more voltage and this light bright too much than rear right.

I think this codes for LCM is beta
