Finally Coded in Chicago!!!

After several months waiting to understand what to do...I finally completed the coding in my F15 35D:
*Steering Wheel paddle shifters (my X5 is a base with upgraded F85 SW)
*M Performance breaks (Code SBRE)
*GPS Navigation maps Update 2016-1
*Folding mirrors when lock doors
*Turn-off radio/iDrive when lock the car
*Digital Speedometer
*Tire pressure/temperature
*M Performance welcome on Display
*One touch closing windows when doors are open...and a few more stuff.

All with a very reasonable price (took an hour to complete with all the coding). His name is Ram, and he can does the coding remotely (All BMWs). PM for references

Hope this can help to all like me searching for a NOT DIY coding.
Cheers,
T.

Do you actually have the MPBK installed or did you code the perf brakes while riding on stock components? If the latter, please provide a review of sorts. I thought the general consensus was that it wasn't a good thing to do, along the lines of it being a safety issue since the s/w might overpower the stock braking system.

I'm installing the MPBK this Tuesday (in 36hrs from now) that is why I coded in advance. Nothing to worry so far.

Some of those item can be coded easily. Why did you pay for it?

Because for $150 I found someone to do if for me...and I don't have to be worry about which cable to buy, which program to download, which exe should be executed, reading and understanding all the coding folders/ rules/ option, what to do with the error messages, getting nervous when something goes wrong, etc, etc.
And what is most important, while he was working on the coding, I was grilling a terrific BBQ for/ with my family...that time is priceless!

i've coded my 5 series before(changing options and recoding new modules), and there is definetly some things to learn. if i had to do it again, i'd agree to just pay someone to do it. heck, i bought the cable for the x5, but am not too bothered with the way things are setup from factory. lol

Got my stuff remotely coded last night. Very happy with service and process. Took longer then one hour ( about 1 hr and 15 min), besides guy called me right after to guide with some small steps needed right after. All works great.
PS, i am glad i did not do it myself, i would not be able to pull it off without any help. If anyone interested PM me for info. Oh, the same person who coded things for me also sold me a cable via ebay very modestly priced)))
