:excited: yay!

Out of interest how is everyone proceeding with there coding, Autologic? NCS Expert? INPA?

:iagree::tgif:

Autologic all the way.

I initially went down to an Autologic shop because the BMW instructions said you could update the software in the FRM, so I thought I could be smooth and save $200... :rofl:

Even BMW has no clue with these FRM modules. The reality is that ONLY THE NEWER FRMs HAVE THE CIRCUITRY TO HANDLE THE HIGH BEAMS...

Ram at BMW/Mini Coding was awesome and got me hooked up last night - everything works 100%. He used NCS Expert. The new FRMs already have the LED software in them.

I would have gone back to my Autologic shop but they were 2 weeks out. Wasn't going to wait!

Sounds great. My coder hasn't done coding on one of these LED retrofits before but he's taken on plenty of other equally complex retrofits... so better I checked to see what route everyone took.

Oh, pics fellas we need some pics! :D

If you are going to an Autologic shop, Tony posted some pictures back in this post about the screens to go through for coding.

If you hire someone to do it, you'll need a programming cable and someone who knows what they are doing :)

Chris

Yes my coder is well sorted in that area. He doesn't have Autologic but couple laptops geared for different things.. I also have a laptop with NCS Expert with EDIABAS cable, we've done some remote coding in the past and it's been fine. If I knew what to do I'd do it myself but as much as I am computer literate I just fail when I look at BMW coding for some reason :(

NCS Expert is a complicated program, I was tempted to learn it but due to time I said forget it.

Chris

BTW You are going to need a K/DCAN cable for the coding.

Yup got one :thumbup:

If someone knows how to do step by step in NCS expert I'd be happy to give it a try.
