I figured that would be the case - but I'm not sure how to configure the Bimmersoft software to use the network instead of a USB port - probably a different driver, I'd guess. I'll have to contact the vendor and see how that'll work. I've also seen bluetooth OBDII plugs that eliminate the need for a cable, but again, not sure if they will work with the F30's new setup. Thanks for the info!

That said, what do you use to code - NCS Expert? I've got an older version of INPA and NCS Expert, but none of the tables for the F30. Any idea where to find that stuff?
