does my convertible top control module require programming by the dealer

[Roadie]

I want to replace the convertible top control module in my 2003 Z4 , does anybody know if it requires programming by the dealer or is it plug and play

part #61356936801

No
I’ve swapped several. No programming required

Awesome, thank you for your reply

have a great day

One more question if you don't mind...

have these modules that you swapped been used modules or new modules?

the reason I ask is because I have read a post where the guy installed a brand new top control module and it did not work so he had to have it encoded then it worked, so he was saying that maybe it's possible that a used one would already be coded but a new one not...

hope that makes sense

thanks in advance

I’ve always re-used second hand ones

OK, thanks again

OK, thanks again

Have you tried asking 'Umfaan' on here?
He's breaking a 2.2 so maybe has a good used one?

I ended up biting the bullet and ordered an OEM module, just waiting for it to arrive sometime next week then I will plug it in to see if it works right out of the box, hopefully it will, if not I have to bring it in to the stealer Or a local garage that can code it, if in fact that is what is required...

I've been spending the day searching and just can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether or not a brand new convertible top module needs to be coded.

If anybody has the definitive answer to this or know where I can find out for sure, please let me know... thanks
