So I had mine unplugged shortly after getting the car, however 12 months later when I plugged it back in I had a real hard time getting the car to re-activate the module. I believe after 48hrs it deactivates it to save any shorts.. I ended up playing it dumb with BMW and they reprogrammed the car.

Unfortunately they had the car just over a week, they went through everything from changing wiring, to switch out just the valve module on the exhaust. The guys in Germany had to help them and finally suggested re-flashing the car which did the trick.
