Smile Coding Newbie & MY2015 etc

Hey


Just bringing this post over from http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...4#post17729474 as suggested

I have recently picked my new car up after waiting what seemed an eternity due to the delivery issues and I have been doing my best to read all the info on the forums and get acquainted with everything before posting.

I have been looking online and also on here for the best cables and setup to use for coding as I am pretty much terrified of the idea of messing something up! But if anyone maybe could point me in the right direction of what is the suggested setup for coding on a MY2015 car?

Was just reading about how coding has now been possible on it and would be quite interested to see what I can tinker with and get access to, but I certainly have a lot to learn (shame there is no way to do a simulation on a holodeck!)

Is there anyone out there near East Sussex or Kent that has done coding on a 2015 car / would be willing to accept beer or something to help me find my feet?

Sorry for rambling... just trying to not appear like I'm coming on here and just demanding help without really saying or doing anything and appearing rude! Now to work out the best way to post my car pics and stuff :P

But yeah, basically just interested to see what tips and stuff people might have, also I am around the TWells area during the weekdays as I work here

Currently looking to get hold of a suitable OBD cable etc, and then start looking into the coding side of things and any help would be awesome, so I don't brick it haha :P

*bump*

Anyone got any ideas? I am going to buy something from amazon I think this afternoon and try and follow some guides and see how it goes, the only thing that concerns me is any differences because its a MY2015 car?

Anyone's input or help would be awesome, I work in the Kent area so if anyone is around and would accept beer perhaps?

I'm in Lancashire.... I'll help out no problems if you fancy a trip!

Alternatively I could guide you over webex?

Sorry to hijack, anyone in the Billericay/Chelmsford (Essex) area fancy lending me a hand.
Have got the software, cable and token and have managed to read the data, but seem to be inept at actually coding it after I've read the files

Question

Hey guys,

Sorry I didn't reply sooner for some reason the notification never came through!

Thanks for the offers, I might actually be near at some point Kevin as I am going to be doing a bit of a roadtrip (or trying anyway!) , sounds awesome, Daftasabrush where abouts in Kent are you? I am going to probably be doing a road trip visiting people next week when I have some holiday time

But I work in Tunbridge Wells so Kent is actually good for me

No worries Beancounterr haha, I think Daftasabrush suggesting that we both perhaps go at the same time is cool with me?
