I thought they were plug and play ??
What's the process for recalibrating??
Can I do this with an autophix 7910 ?
Thanks
Plug and play. That’s it

In terms of coding they are plug and play but I've seen lots of posts suggesting that if you have issues then they need recalibrating.

Just had another look at Realoem parts site using my 2003 2.5 Vin number, mine has this one fitted
https://www.realoem.com/bmw/en/showpart ... Id=34_1308
If there are two diagrams just use the one that lists the parts and part numbers the other will tell you no parts fitted to your car.
If you click on the part number it will display all other models the item is fitted to, suspect the replacement you have is not compatible with your car. Best find another good replacement with the part number listed in Realoem or one of the units that have superseded the original.

Well I've just changed the yaw sensor for another one with tha same part number as per realoem listed for my vin number.
No change really, I changed the sensor then plug in the scanner with 3 codes appearing, 5e15, 5e30, 5e38, when I try to erase them only the 5e15 goes, but then reappears when the ignition is turned off and back on.
When I try to recalibrate the speed sensor with the autophix it comes up connection error, could it be a wiring issue and not connecting?
The abs dsc unit is clicking every few seconds?? Is that normal?
Could the battery cause any issues as I'm not sure it's at its best although I'm keeping the charge on with a battery maintainer.
I hoping you guys can maybe point me in the next direction to go.
Thanks.
