Massive thanks Makkan00

Took a drive down to Essex today to meet Makkan00 (Sam) for him to install my bluetooth to my CCC i drive and code in a few things.

What a genuine nice guy, very helpful, answered all my questions. instantly put me at ease. Left my car with him and in a little over 2 hours, Voila, done!

Very professional install, and had removed a parrot kit wiring that a previous owner had installed.

So now I have bluetooth, wipers go home, digital speed on dash cluster, alarm chime on locking/unlocking and welcome fogs on unlock.

Fantastic Sam. Thanks again.

He's really good. Better than dealerships and most audio places hands down.

I'm no audio expert for sure but it would seem Sam's got the coding, retro fitting and audio side of things for all the members well and truly lickedit's the time spent though that's most commendable, where I work we do coding without dramas however it's not our day to day requisite and if I had an audio issue for sure I'd rather burn a good few quid on fuel and pay Sam than get it done at work for nigh on nowt, purely based on skill set and pure knowledge of the subject in hand.

I like the sound of Welcome fogs! Does this come on along with the lights in the handles?

Cheers.

Every time the car is unlocked regardless of day/night the fogs will come on. If the car is already unlocked and the unlock button is pressed on the key fob then the halo's and fogs will light up again

Is there a specific FRM2 part number for an E90 for welcome lights or can any FRM2/3 work for an 06 Xenon equipped car do?

Sam is top notch.

i put E92 frm2 in my car. i had issues with front windows first due to e92 having only 2 working windows and my e90 having 4. simple step in INPA initialized all windows to work after. if you do buy frm2 then im sure makkan will code it properly for you to work.

I'm able to code it myself, just unsure about the correct part number. There are many available on ebay but I don't want to wast £100 on the wrong ecu.
