I am not even going to comment on posts like "this is such a rip off"... There are many people here that value their time and they do not want to search and meet an unknown local guy and trust he will do the job right. And in case the coding is erased by a BMW dealer they do not want to go through the same hassle again and usually pay again... So if someone says it's a rip off I say it's a great deal! Thank you! |

There are so many more features like windows up with keys or folding mirrors, seat belt chime and the list goes on that this will likely never be able to provide. There are plenty of remote coders that are on the forum besides the local ones and they all charge less for way more. Plus I'd be interested for them to explain more at how they've done this since if they are manipulating another update system it should be known so the people know the risks associated with it. The coding done via the OBDII port at least is using BMW software. What sort of fails safes does this software have in place to prevent your NBT from getting bricked etc?

They'll never have that because this can only make changes in the headunit.

As of today (and since NBT has been on the market) you can use the same USB coding file after a dealer software update and it will work fine and you do not have to pay again. So, no it's not the same like with regular coding when you must ask somebody to code your car again after a dealer software update. Quote:

I've been involved with coding these cars since they were released I can only ever recall one person actually "bricking" a car, you a drawing a long bow to justify whatever it is you're trying to justify. I'm very much a capitalist myself but I can't fathom anyone paying for coding but good luck to you if you can get it! |

I am glad it wasn't just me saying that I also can't understand why people pay for car wash when they can wash their cars themselves. This world is insane! I guess this is my last post in this thread. Thanks everyone for the feedback and comments. If you have any questions feel free to contact us by email. |

I used these guys... forum member... very knowledgeable and friendly and I couldn't have been happier. Remotely coded me at my convenience and always promptly answered all my crazy questions. Would recommend these guys to anyone. edit - guess I can't post link... but it's "code my bimmer DOT ca" .

Cool!
I had my dealer install the M Performance Kit on my 2015 435ix convertible yesterday. When I picked the car up, the coding installed via the USB update method was removed. I checked with Patryk, and sure enough, all I had to do was to reapply the USB update, and my NBT coded changes, along with the code changes that were a part of the performance kit were there.
Cool!! -- Dave |

I purchased two items from Bimmer-Tech. I have no idea how it works (and I'm I know IT), but it worked perfectly.
They sent me a bin file in an e-mail. I copied the file to a blank USB thumb drive, and installation was a snap. Easy. If you don't want to mess with coding, this service is perfect. Highly recommended. |
