I was going to come during Easter, but due to a warning from my dealer about the warranty being invalidated I will not be coming - shame as I was quite excited.

I persoanlally wouldn't have said anything to ther dealer but I understand your concern.
I've only got a couple of changes of my car, one which GSPANNU did for me intially way back , and anotehr that I struck up teh courage to do myself. I've just had my April 2012 car serviced and feared that they might eitehr pick up on the coding or simply wipe it out with a newer level. They didn't update the software so the 2 changes remain intact. Additionally they either didn't notice or simply didn't say anything about the coding. Your choice at the end of the day, sure there are risks but I think the risk is low. its a real shame BMW dealers can't do any of this but I guess its because some of the features may be regarded as Beta , and tehrefore not enabled, Uk legislation may possibly prevent some settings or they are not enabled because BMW want to offer something as a new feature in a future model year so it looks like constant improvements. |

I would be very surprised if any dealer actually even knew about coding - most dealers confuse coding with 'remapping' - this is something that dealers are really worried about regarding warranties. On a humorous note, I have coded 3 cars (of a dealership) as they found no way of disabling the annoying Auto Start-Stop behaviour; and I offered to do it for them.

Is that not the case with your car? I must admit I tend not to use it as I find it slightly jerky. |

I wouldn't worry about to be honest . I did download and install the latest Esys on my laptop with the latest files in preparation for assuming the worst of then updating the software, but in the end this wasn't necessary. I therefore held off looking for a token. (My last copy of esys had a free token but it appears there is a small cost for this now) |

By coding, you can control the angle of the dip to the whatever you want. Very useful if you are too tall or too short, or want to see the rear wheel more clearly.
