SF E.Bay: Need tech to code away seat issues

Guerc · 04-04-2023, 09:47 AM

Hi,
I need a mechanic recommendation who can help with a sport seat swap coding issue. I’ve gone through a number of mechanics and most are unable to help. I believe the issue is well understood by people on this forum but I get blank looks when describing it to shops.

My issue is written up here. My sport seat swap has a seat module problem that should be able to be coded away.

Ideally Walnut Creek / Pleasanton area. Thanks for recommendations!!

Do you have a screen shot of the code it throws in ISTA with the new module by chance (from your mechanic)?

VT Motorsports did it right! They fixed my issue and cleared the error. It turns out it was an uncomplicated coding issue. It was the 4th shop I went to, and the first that knew immediately what to do.

I was impressed with VT’s shop: it was a well-equipped full-on BMW tuning shop with several generations of modded bimmers on their lifts. I was checking out a E46 M3, an E30 with S52 engine swap, a race prepped / caged 1- Series, etc. Very easy to work with people, totally recommended.

Thanks for the referral!!.
