Yes. I used Alex at AlpineMSS. He was incredibly fast and did everything I wanted done and more. His website is http://www.alpinemss.com/product_p/FXX.htm

How much is he charging? I just had mine done remotely for $100. Great service too. Let me know if interested and I'll forward you the email and website of the guy I used.

E-SYS link tool - $30 on ebay.
Unlock code - $30. All other information is free. As long as you have a windows laptop, you should be fine.

I also used Alex's services, and highly recommend him. I'll be using him again when my M235i arrives in a few weeks. I wrote a pretty detailed review of his service here: http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1012592

I have had Alex do several cars for me as well as friends and family. Great guy and very professional. Highly recommend him.

Bad news on coding
Looks like coding is going to be more difficult soon. I had my car recently flashed by the dealer and it wipedout my coding. The newest programs from BMW lock out coding. Alex was able to revert back several modules to older versions that don't have the code blocking and was able to code my car again.
How long reverting will last is another questions.

Seems like BMW doesn't want people changing their coding any more. A sad day.

Not really... If they really wanted that there are much easier ways to achieve it... this is just a side effect, of them trying to reduce the size of the files used to store the coding data...

Would it wipe a VO change? or just an FDL/individual changes (video in motion)? Would this happen with regular service?

if you wrote the modified VO to the car then when they reprogram, the machine will use the VO stored in the car and thus will program the car with the modified VO and your change will stay....
if you didn't write the VO to the car and just VO coded the Ecu's then the VO change will be wiped... any FDL coding will get wiped out if they do a flash on the car.... Flashing takes time so they don't do it as regular service...only if you complain say you can't get your phone to connect or something...they will always try to update the software to the latest and see if it fixes it |
