Does this cable look right? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-F-Seri...item4ad78d8765 I wanted a UK seller as I can get a hold of it a lot quicker. Judging by the link above, you don't need a token for a lot of things, but I guess this can be bought if needed once I have a cable. Quote:

Digital speed, yes. Gear in auto, not that I've seen or found myself.
That eBay cable linked to is similar to the one I got. The seller I got mine through is no longer selling them and I paid £18, but on the face of it, it looks like a quality item. |

Okay, so shall we say Sunday 17th with a 10am start?
Tr0y, are we okay meeting at yours as it sounds like you have a big enough drive to accommodate a few cars? - mine can just manage 3, but has 2 on there already? If so, do you want to PM myself, DickieGibbo and Steve_M_Sport details. Alternatively, Steve and Richard are fairly close to each other, so we could do a trip to that side of town? |

I'll do some digging about the gear display, that is cool.
Also I'll order the cable and install the software on my laptop in advance. I am happy with a 10am start on Sunday 17th at my place, I can easily accommodate all of our cars comfortably and I have power outside for the laptops. I'll send a message around with the address. |

I've had a play with the software and have enabled video in motion, door handle LED's come on when reversing , change mirror fold delay with remote, enabled phone ringtone through car, changed BMW logo in black panel cluster to M Performance,and enabled ambient lighting one when unlocking - thanks Paul for your help even though we weren't able to meet last Sunday.
What else is worth doing to improve/personalise the car ? Has anyone found out how to illuminate the dashboard dials during the daytime ? Is there a complete guide to the coding options available anywhere ?

Changing the boot to open and close with one press of the remote is worth doing (rather than having to hold the button to close). Also I find the speed limiter really useful.

Richard, Where can I find the coding for these 2 changes ?

Hope it's OK to post links to other forums here. I've done the speed limiter change.
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=669435 See the f25/f30 part. I found I only needed to do the first 2. The third was already set and the fourth wasn't in the instructions I followed. |

I found this which is very helpful and will try some more coding later today.

You guys should have the limiter anyway if you have cruise control, I have it in mine.
Thanks for you help Paul, I think I've figured out what to do, just haven't quite got the bottle to do it! I didn't figure out how to make a backup of the car though. |

Mine is at C:\\ DATA\CAF on my laptop and look for files ending .ncd - copy these files to another place on your laptop for safe keeping.

Only March 2014 builds have the speed limiter from factory. I have coded it but never use it!

It's very handy to just press the limit button, however it does not working going down hill. |

The limit function gives you that ability to drive and brake around town or on the likes of the A 5 with its multitude of speed cameras lol. |

No, but I'm planning on rescheduling it for next weekend, but may be able to do other times. Whereabouts in Leicester are you? PM me if you want.

I use the speed limiter everyday on the M25 going through the 50mph average zones. Traffic is too built up to use cruise control. |

I have also coded the boot release button (above the OBD socket) to close the boot with 1 press of the button as well as open with 1 press. I've coded the following :- Front fogs to come on with the welcome lights when unlocking the car Digital speedo on the dash Door LED's illuminate when in reverse Front windows auto open/close when door is open Changed iDrive start up animation Video in motion enabled Activated all the CODEC's so video from a USB stick now works in iDrive Inbound mobile phone call plays phone ringtone Changed gauges in Sport display from amber to red/silver Changed BMW logo in black panel to M Performance Changed mirror fold delay on remote open/close The coding I really wish I could do (research indicates it may be impossible) is to turn on the white dash lights during the daytime (same as F10/11). I tend to make 1 change at a time and activate and check rather than doing multiple changes. Each one worked first time without any errors. I will see what else to code over the next few days.
