You are a very lucky person, in that Andrew has chosen to help you in your hour of need.

Listen very carefully to what he tells you and the advise he has given. This just may save you a small fortune. Fingers crossed that the hardware you have purchased from BBA is capable of programming the DDE.?

You are not the first and will not be the last , the aftermarket is awash with cheap Chinese copied machines. Every tom dick and harry are flash updating ECU with infera hardware and out of date software. You are playing Russian roulette

I see this quite regular, with IDS , PSS and Lexia.

I always ask the question, if this programming fails will i be able to fix the situation.

If your answer is no then leave it well alone.

Have you had any Technical training or access to Technical manuals on BMW products in the last 5 years.

Do you understand DME/DDE variant coding , ZCS ,vehicle order and CIP procedures.

If your answer is not really then let this be a lesson , either find out or leave it the people who do know.

This not a attack at you , just a honest straight forward advise.

Fingers crossed
