re-coding with bmw scanner 1.4

Post by Smeeagain » Thu Jul 28, 2011 5:39 pm

I have the above scanner and want to be able to re-code some of the options as shown here http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/ ... anner.html

How do I get into those coding options ? I've played around with it but cant get into that ?

Thanks

Smee

i dont know what software came with yours but with mine, after doing a full scan, i just double click on the particular module's full description name box i want to get into and it opens up the sub menu for that module. and just go from there..

I saw that thanks but it looked liked i needed to enter codes - I couldn't see any options to select or a page to get into options?

i think you need to select the coding or recoding option( i cant remember the exact wording) this should take you into the options tick box screen. nothing will happen to change anything until you then press the write button( or cancel) if your not sure.

Hi I also have this software, with reference to the first paragragh on the xoutpost thread, my LED rings flash every 30 secs or so if the light are turned off, if I change the settings to xenon or non xenon (would this stop the flashing? (I am aware of the load resistors and cap mod but this would be a much easier option)

Many thanks
