I get navcoder and I installed it in both my ///M3 and a laptop with XP. The program seems to be working ok, but when I try to read any module it gets me timeout...

Any reason why?

Thanks in advance,

Hi there,

Can i code mk3 mono, into dutch language?

Regards

Joël

Yes, but note the following:

Standard BMW Os disc has dutch voice only. All text stays in another language (I think default German)

Even if you use NavTweak and edit text to Ducth, some text (check control display, telephone) stays in German because the text is generated by different control units (not by the nav)

Jochen

Normal reasons:

1. Bad ground connection between interface and car

2. Using a USB to serial converter, these cause problems

If your laptop only has a USB port and no serial port, then get the Resler USB interface from www.reslers.de

Thnx for the quick reply,

so i can make the mk3 monodisplay speak dutch, but with the german text?

if you say it is working ill gonna buy this program from you, the german or english voice is not understandable for my friend

Regards

Joël

Aargh - I just checked.

Standard BMW mk3 OS has de, es, it, fr, gb, usa

NL is added for Mk4 OS

So for Mk3 you have to use the copy-and-rename method.

eg: if you want English text + Dutch instructions:

Copy the dutch voice language and rename it to the english voice file

Reload English to the nav.

NavCoder is useful because you can tell it to force-load a new OS.

LKM Coding issues - E83/X3
 

Jochen,

Just had a play with using the LKM coding option on my E83. Reads the module OK, but had a very strange issue - the 'cold monitor' of rear blinkers is off by default so I switched it on. This caused the front main blinker on the LH side to stop working.

Initially this threw me as I thought it was a bulb out and couldn't understand why the warning didn't come up, but after testing the bulb & was found to be OK, I undid the change and it started working again.

Don't have a Navcoder loig I'm afraid ... but can probably get one if you need it. The LKM is for a 2005 X3 with adaptive Bi-Xenon headlights (if that helps).

I'll check the whole connections, but I have the usb interface :cool:

Anyway... it is rare if the Navcoder gets "Device status ready" and later you cannot "Read identity"... :dunno:

Thanks!
Manu.

There are 4 generations of the LCM modules, it's hard for me to cater for them all - hence my little 'warning' message :-)

It is still a work in progress.... so bear with me if little issues like yours appear.

You are right. Case 1: no ground connection was the reason, now it works!!

Apologies for any inconvenience and best regards,
Manu.
