Anyone in the San Francisco bay area willing to do some Coding for 2011+ F10?

There is a company, Alpine MS, in So Cal but I don't want to deal with remote work and sending equipment back and forth.

Alex at Alpine was super easy to work with (even though my case difficult since I had to use a parallel installation of windows on my mac). I am in the Bay Area and was looking for the longest time to find somebody, but with all the scheduling issues--I decided simply to go with Alex at Alpine. Super easy and actually wound up being cheaper. And he hooked me up with the 2013 Navigation update for a cheap price. Anyways, I would highly recommend. The only thing you need to do is to order the cable ahead of time (I got mine on ebay for $20). Everything else Alex takes care of...

yeah I did get an email from him and he said he would take care of everything. He would need to send me some stuff with a $50 deposit and I would return it once he's done with the coding.

btw, does the coding erase once you take it to the dealer for normal software updates or maintenance?

Not for routine maintenance but if there is a major software upgrade, then yes, but that is unlikely to happen now. Anyways, Alex makes it super easy. The $50 is probably for a cable which you can buy off ebay yourself ( and keep in case you need more coding done). I love the coding changes... Makes all the little annoyances go away.

what is the cable name/# if you don't mind sharing. I'd rather get it as well instead of sending it back and forth.
