DVDinmotion......
Thank you for your reply. This is something i would like to get but have the following main concerns and would appreciate you feedback please ..... Does it really work? Have there been any issues with the software causing any knock on effects or glitches with other parts of the cars software or general operations? Can I remove it as easy as I installed it when the car goes to the dealers or do I need to keep it in and hope they don't spot it? What guarantees do i have if it doesn't work or causes issues with my car? Do I just install it once, then re-install it after a software upgrade? I'm not a computer boffin so generally nervous of installing anything into the car and messing it up. after I've burnt the cd do I just put it in the cars DVD player and it will be simple instructions on the screen to follow etc. or is it more complicated? Many thanks in anticipation |

I hope soon there will be many positive feedbacks from forum members to prove it works flawless and give you some guarantee. Main advantages of this solution are ease of use and the fact, that you can restore original state of your car easily (by just running the CD again). Nothing can be then spotted by BMW service. Using this CD is really easy. You just put it in the car and wait, everything done by software. It takes under 1 minute. If you can burn the CD, you will have no troubles using it, for sure. In fact, it is not really installed into the car. It is just launched once and removes the speed limit stored in CIC unit. No other units are touched in any way by this operation. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask. |

I'd be willing to give it a go, but 100 euro is pretty steep for a small piece of software. I'm just not sure it's worth that much to me. Half that, yeah, I'd probably just give it a go.

I agree, especially as it's now been used on over 100 vehicles, that's over 10k euros in revenue which should have covered the developments costs and be at a point where it becomes more affordable yet still returns a healthy profit for the seller?

Bit the bullet!
Ok so bit the bullet and purchased this direct from dvdinmontion. Turn around was quick even on a Saturday. I now have DVD working while driving round. Easy to get working simply download an iso file and burn it to a cd. Insert cd into drive it will eject straight away remove it completely then wait 5 secs then reinsert. Screen will go blank an then boot up. Remove disc put DVD in an away you go literally with the DVD playing happily along.
Will make sitting in traffic a joy now especially when I burn tv episodes to catch up on. |

I bought this last night for my 750 and followed all instructions. It did not work. I emailed the vendor and am waiting for a reply....I expect they will remedy the problem or refund me in full. It still won't play once the car is in drive. Everything up until that point went as planned according to the instructions so I know I didn't install anything wrong.
I have doubts as to whether this will work on the F series cars in the US....they are different than the Euro models and if no one else has perfected this yet in the US (I know EAS was trying)...I doubt if someone just happened to come up with it and started a website suddenly. Will keep everyone posted for US cars. |

i'll order this as soon as I know it works on US cars, specifically F10. I'm on the fence with the EAS box due to the labor intensive install and the dealer may detect it.

I'll be damned, the vendor emailed me right back and sent me a new disc that had a little modification and it works perfectly! I turned car off and back on and it indeed saves it....so you don't have to reinstall disc.
Big ups to Lucie....they knew what they were doing. As for some complaining about pricing...really? Isn't EAS' module more money AND you have to pay labor to install it AND you have do wiring, etc. Nav-TV....they sell something like this for $600. $175 is a steel......personally I'd sell it for even more. It took literally 3 minutes from burning the disc to doing the installation and it works. Can't get more plug and play than that. |

no offence, but I would be surprised if you can show me any other solution with lower price. You can't consider it just a piece of SW. It does the same work as HW module with less effort for you. |

I am waiting for these guys to be able to do a full profile update via this method. I'm talking about adjusting simple settings such as close windows while holding lock button on fob, fold mirrors when double lock from fob, close trunk (boot for most of the world) when holding trunk button on fob, unlock doors when engine turned off, unfold mirrors when unlock. All of these are simple settings and since the F10 requires e-sys to program (nobody has leaked it yet), this method would be wonderful. Order up your preferences in a customized disk and away you go. Heading to the dealer, no proplem, just insert the disk, set everything back to stock and nobody is the wiser. Before you leave the dealer's lot you can reset it all back to the way you like it.
A couple of hundred bucks for thsi convenience...you bet! I guy can dream...
