It is very possible when i was using your method initially, when i was VO coding the FEM_BODY and KAFAS modules, i was VO coding "CAFD....." under the modules instead of the modules themselves. It was getting late last night and we were running out of ideas so we decided to do the modified FA method. We may give your method another try when we find the time to do this again.
Or, you could just write the original FA back to the car...

Again, the only thing we are trying to do by not writing the FA to the car is to avoid any potential issues when taking the car in for service. If the modified FA isn't an issue when updating the programming, then there is no reason not to write the modified FA to the car. I think I remember seeing that someone doing this and BMW simply restored the factory FA to his car.
