BMW should sort this out for pre 07 cars. I wouldn't be surprised if insurance premiums go up for pre 07 cars, as according to BMTrouble there is no security fix and as we all know they are still being stolen. |

I would have expected someone on a knowledgeable car forum to be able to type in a few seconds what the mod entails rather than expecting me to perform a search of the forum only to get a phone number and call them. But thanks for your incredibly helpful advice, I'll be sure to remember how helpful the people here are next time I ask a simple question.

In a nutshell, the update means that in order to have a key coded one of the origional keys is required to be present

If the Cooks Ferry method is of interest,give them a call,I'm sure they'll help,I'd like to think they wouldn't be too descriptive,after all you could be a tealeaf http://www.cooksferry.com/ There is a wealth of info on ways you can DIY in this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=741889 For info,moving the OBD port yourself is easy,quick and needs minimal skill,and few tools. It also costs zilch,unless you elect to buy an extension cable for the port,or buy an OBD blank. You mentioned 'helpful', how'd I do?

What's to stop a dodgy crook from phoning Cooks Ferry and asking them what they do? Just having the information on a forum doesn't make it insecure if Cooks Ferry are happy to disclose the information by phone. If they aren't happy to disclose the information by phone, then it would be more helpful to suggest I don't bother calling them unless I am prepared to get my wallet out to find out what they do. So there No tension on my part, I'm not like some kind of lame keyboard warrior who wouldn't say the same thing at a meetup or whatever. Speaking of which, see you at the Ace on Saturday morning if you're there. I'll buy you a cup of tea for you to ease the tension

If you're going to the Ace on Sat,ask Dave (Mega) what they (Cooks Ferry) do,better still,ask him to move the port for you,it's only a 15min job,fair exchange would be the brekkie tab

I had my cars security update done today at Astle BMW
All foc, treated very well, car washed, dried, vacuumed, tyre shined and air freshened - feel alittle happier now, even though the 335d isn't the car they'd steel, especially not my 2007 plate one, but never the less, peace of mind.

I had mine done today at Park Lane, along with the OBD software update and navigation maps update.
Got my 7 digit postcodes now but lost all the coding that Makkan did for me last week :/

I'm not upset, what gave you that impression? You're the one who started with the 'why don't you just search the forum' post so my question must have somehow upset you, or you'd have supplied a more useful answer
