I have not considered the LED interior lights but now, since seeing yours, I might consider that mod - should be very simple...

Mike, do you remember, which of the guys from the meet had LED tail lights and they were fast flickering when the lights were on? I think I found an entry in the FSW file that says LED tail lights - it might help with flickering and keep the Brake Force Display still active.

Mike, do you have heated front seats?




4.8mnster's truck..........right now hs truck is getting AIR management...meaning u can Manually adjust the air ride any height you want......
-No i dont have heated seats opt it out..lol..and went for sports pckg

Dang awesome SAV man. That makes my X look so pitiful. :( I hate to even know how much all that cost you. I really like that rear bumper. That gives a completely different look just with that. I thought about doing the interior LEDs cause I saw them on another post but no one had answered about whether or not they still dim or not and if you have any errors or not. Where would you suggest that I start in order to stay cheap and in the DIY arena?

One of the X5s I test drove before buying mine had the manual adjustable ride height. I didn't know much about it though. Mine doesn't have it though. It would be cool though probably.

i've heard through this forum that lowered ride is a bit too harsh... i am fine with the regular ride but i wanted to see if i can force the computer to lower the car when i am in Park, for the ease access - my little girl is fighting with the door sill everytime she needs to get in or out... through INPA you can set it up to anything within the range but it stays "permanent" as a new "motorway" setting... I am still researching this programming...:dunno:

I managed to fool the car to close the sunroof when the car is off with the water hitting the windshield, but when the rain sensor stays active it disables the EWS, and I can't lock the car - it thinks that engine is running... hahahaha... can't win.... so, back to schematics...:D

Yeah I would hate to know how much would go into figuring out all the electronics. You would do very well if you could figure it all out and start a business though.:thumbup:

UncleBuck76 11-10-2012 10:27 PM

Do you have a programmer? I saw one guy that said he bought one off ebay and was now able to roll his windows up with the fob and I think it was the same one that said he can remote start now. I would love to have a remote start option but everything Ive searched is just aftermarkets that make you carry around another fob.

"programmer" is sold on ebay indeed, you should be looking for a cable and INPA, EDIABAS, NCSExpert keywords... chances are, the seller is in Eastern Europe, somewhere in romania... folks in eastern europe have seriously hacked into bmw electronics, i had them do some programming on my 4.6, when they russified the Nav computer to talk in russian and display cyrillic, they updated the radio to pull US and Euro stations (i can't do it on the newer 4.8!!!), removed the gong for seat belts, key in ignition - that is when i learned for the first time about the programming...

one of the programmings that I had done and you might consider, removing those annoying gongs (the dash light for seat belt is still there), getting high beams to work at the same time with the front fogs, lock the doors as you start driving... those are thngs you can do with the sw and the cable... i also synched the car clock to GPS time beacon...
without the cable you can adjust the speed sensitive volume - search for GAL in the forum, there will be instructions... also, if Slick stops by this thread, in his signature line there is a direct link to OBD test functions, such as digital tach, digital speedo, battery voltage, coolant temp... you just press the right knob on the cluster, it will reset your trips to zero, but keep on holding until you see test... Test 2 is nice display show of the cluster... all the other tests call for unlocking the cluster - instructions are on this forum...
