At one point Roseng was going to be in the area and was bringing his hardware but unfortunately my schedule got messed up and we did not get to meet up. If you read the thread over there it is 80 pages long and full of people having cable and software issues. The coding has piqued my interest slightly over the last year or so as I watched it develop on the M5 board, it was not worth the time and effort I would need to put in. I cannot link directly as the bimmerfest forum censored part of the address.
*in this guide is a link to a forum with the 22 step guide with screenshots. In a nutshell, the 22 steps below do 2 things, first you download the cars settings to your computer, second you make your change and upload them back into the car. And it is as easy as following the guide in the forum below, 22 steps, plug your computer into the cars port, follow these steps which are well illustrated, and you are coding!!! And it only costs $63 and takes very little time or expertise. Just to start, coding means that you can change your car to do things like.remove the gong from when you have something in the passenger seat, remove the gong when ignition is on and door is open, remove the BMW legal screen from the bootup, default the boot right into the entertainment screen, turn on DRL's (for older models), turn on your Aux Input (after installing hardware).
