want my 530 programmed

[Ryan...]

What year is it, and what are you looking to get done? Programmed is a pretty broad subject; are you looking for a performance chip/tune, or something else?

[Blaine0002]

you mean im not the only 5 series on the board???? :3

e34 535 and e28 m5 owner here.

yea i should have been more specific, sorry guys, well id like to have my DRL's turned off, thats pretty much the only thing i can think of that i want done... is there any other cool things you can do to a e39? and who here has the software?

[tsweers89]

I do, i have a GT1 with CKM(car key memory) capabilites

[afstud]

tsweers89, where are you located? how much would you want to just turn my DRL's off and change my car to Xenon headlamps?

[tsweers89]

$1,000,000 should about do it

[afstud]

In all seriousness where r u located and what would you reasonably want to do those things?

[tsweers89]

Milwaukee area, dont know how much or even if im willing to do it. Just stating i have the capabilities to.

[afstud]

well it would be cool if you could help me out because it seems no one else has the software around here and every dealer wants 3 arms and 6 legs to do it for something that takes like 15 mins....... all i pretty much want is DRLs off and switch to Xenon's, if your not sure how to do it i can find instructions too if thats whats steering you away from doing it.

[tsweers89]

I work at a bmw dealer in milwaukee as a tech. I know exactly what your trying to do. Although i have yet to see a xenon function turn on it CKM. Its usually a programming retrofit. How much is the "dealer" going to charge you? Also fyi it doesn't take just 15min.

[afstud]

well then i dont know if its the e39 thats different but i had an 02 325xi of mine programmed to have the alarm activated and that took about 5 mins from the time the guy hooked it up to starting the program went into the menu and unplugged it from my car, so i assumed and from what everyone else seems to say on the forums about it taking only a few minutes and they have done it, And people have done xenon conversion and had it programmed with just the GT1 in a matter of minutes too..... and the dealer usually wants to charge 80-150 for it, which is nuts.

[tsweers89]

Our dealer would charge 1.5hrs @ $125 per hour, good luck in your search though. Not many people i know that can do it in the area.

[afstud]

so you wont help a member out on the side ?

[tsweers89]

No, cant do that.

There you go. Have this guy help you. He seems real knowledgeable. Lol

[afstud]

i might just buy this module for 30 bucks off this website that connects to the laptop, that almost 80% of the E46 fanatic community seems to have and takes them at most 15 mins to program a few things.

Your a funny guy, How hard can hooking up an autologic and switching some codes on and off be? It doesn't take a genius to know this... Unless all you do at the stealer is change oil lol

[Snyperx]

Well for the record I coded my e90 without issue. I bought a cable that recommended off another site for $85 and used NCSExpert for the coding software. I did the corner delete and warm/cold bulb checking so I won't get errors with my LED lighting.
