Surprised/disappointed to find that I need to get my car coded to change the set-up (lights, wipers, auto-locks, etc. ) for my 2007 2.5si (had it 2 weeks, and love it). In my previous BMWs I could do this myself using the car's controls.
The few changes I'd like to make are:
- doors lock when I drive off
- 3 flashes on flick of indicator
- close windows from key fob (if this is possible)
- sensitivity of auto wipers and headlights
Maybe a couple of other changes.
Can anyone help me with the coding? I assume that a main dealer will rip me off for this! I live in Derbyshire, work in Macclesfield, but do travel around the UK a bit.

Great stuff! There are two things on your excellent list that I'd like to have - autolock, 3 x indicators. Some I don't understand, and others I'm not sure whether they're currently set to 'on' or 'off'. Would be nice to be able to close roof with key, but I guess I'd need someone with NCSexpert for that.
if you PM me, maybe we can arrange a convenient date to do this?

Found in retro fit section that you can deactivate driver or passenger seat belt warning, tried it but need to connect car to charger as you need over 13 voltswill give it ago another day.
What are the codes for this please? Tried to find them in NCS but nothing obvious.
What do you need 13v+ for?
Thanks.
Can anyone check my car error codes and reset my airbag light please? I'm in Hampshire, between Southampton and Bournemouth.
Light came on after going over a bump!
My dad has a Sykes Picavant diagnostic tool, but not sure if it will work and he's way at the moment.

I've got INPA that should be able to resolve/clear such faults Bigcoose. It sounds weird that a flat battery would cause it. Certainly worth reading the code off first to see what it says.
Dan Yeates, that sounds like maybe a dodgy connection. I *think* codes might clear after a number of good startup/check sequences for some faults, although a silent code is retained for viewing later.
I'm still wondering whether to buy myself a GT1 from China then it all 'just works' and comes with a nice laptop too so that can just have all the BMW stuff on it only.
As per the coding stuff, does Carsoft do coding in a more logical way? Ie, not all German language obscure truncated codes like NCS (looks like a nightmare to use, obviously just something you have to have a lot of documentation sitting around for to make sure you do it right each time)
A shame no one has written a little plain English interface for all this stuff really, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard, hence me wondering if Carsoft does indeed do that?!
Cheers

Satellite B are behind the seat bases in the corner aren't they?
Did you need to replace anything, or just reset it?
Been reading generally, as I often do, about BMW diagnostics/programming/ecu tinkering. There is a new diagnostic kit out called ICOM A B C that does coding, programming and diagnostics. Anyone heard/tried it yet? You can get a good clone tool for about £400 ish... kinda tempted if it makes the coding side of things a bit easier... ie, tick boxes rather than finding obscure strings in German to re-set parameters hehe.
Hmmm

hello, this is my first post
im pulling my hair out at the moment trying to get rid of an airbag light which came on
after putting in a new window motor . i bought the inpa software and cable which i could not download,
so then bought a d900 which is not finding any dodgy codes.
so if some who`s close to Guildford and think they can help me i will be happy to make a donation .
