Yes would be happy to code your car. What month/year of manufacture? Pre LCI, post LCI?

You are looking to get the 'Speed Limit Display' enabled in your dashboard. - Meaning the sped limit of the current road you are travelling on (This is done using 2 parameters, data from the Professional SatNav display & reading Road signs). I presume you would have the Professional SatNav, but do you a KAFAS module (camera) in your rearview mirror housing. Do you have the Lane Departure Warning system (where the steering vibrates if you crossover to another lane). Otherwise, PM me your VIN number and I will check the details.

I have a camera in the rearview mirror and the Lane Departure Warning system - Also distance collision warning system, etc. Does that help? Thanks! |

... but you probably will need a 7E FSC Enabling Code. So far, no one has been able to get this code (not even people who are selling FSC codes for SatNav upgrades). Slightly older models (with KAFAS cameras) did not need FSC codes to enable SLI, all it required was coding - but with the KAFAS2 cameras, I believe you need FSC code as well as coding. PM me your VIN number and I will check with some of my US contacts (if a FSC code can be generated/ confirm if one will be required).

Your car has a KAFAS2 camera and although the software settings can be achieved via coding, the feature cannot be activated without a FSC code. Lot of people have tried the coding and have got the correct coding parameters, but the feature does not activate. ... and so far, there is no one available who can generate a 7E FSC code. Apologies, but at this point in time; it seems you cannot enable SLI.

Not me really...
Most of the information is supplied by our friends over the pond. It is Shawn, Dreambox, Jeg23, token master and a few others who are the real experts. I try and do what I can help in the UK here...

I am in contact with some US folks and we are trying to do something about the SLI coding.Would you mind sending me your VIN again via PM? Sorry, but I have deleted your previous PM with the VIN number.

Apologies.
Going to Aus (Melbourne) over the weekend for 4 days. So, maybe immediately after Easter break. Let's discuss around 22nd April and fix a date.

Assuming you have your vehicle identification number (VIN), visit this site:
http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/ and where it says "Fahrgestellnummer" enter the last 7 digits of your vin and hit the submit button. This will give you the full list of equipment that was in your car when it left the factory. Clicking the "Datenblatt als .pdf speichern" will open a pdf giving a little more information. I'm sure there must be an english equivalent site somewhere, but as I speak German I've never really looked :-) |

Just tried the site (in fact there is a UK flag at the bottom of the page which changes the language). However, it says it doesn't recognise my VIN!!?? |

The hardware I was referring to in my post was 1) Electrically folding mirrors 2) Motorised Boot Open/ Close If one has these options (as factory fitted), then they can be coded to be more useful. e.g. the mirrors folding time can be coded - it is by default set to about 1.5 seconds (hold the lock button on key fob) and the boot closing can be coded from the button in driver footwell (by default, the boot can only be opened from the button in driver footwell, not closed).

As for charges: I do not charge anything for coding; absolutely free. You can read previous posts in this same thread. As for the dealer warranty; I personally do not believe it is an issue, but again read the posts in the same thread on the same issue. Let me know when you wish to come around - I am based in the Winchester/ Basingstoke area in Hampshire.

Got my F10 software updated to ISTA/P 14-03-503 today at the dealership... finally.
Lots of visible changes from what I had since last year. Most visible things: - SatNav imagery more crisper - Options/ menus moved around; seem a bit more logical now - Navigation audio (spoken instructions) now seem to come on a bit earlier in comparison. .... but all my coding disappeared. This was as expected. So, back to coding everything again... and yes, I may find some new stuff this time around. So, a few more long evenings and weekends
