Hey guys so i think i want to get into coding. Im really good with this type of stuff so i feel like i can pick it up fairly quick. The main reason im doing this is to add sirius to my VO and have it show up on my iDrive.
I know, i know..this question has been beaten to death. I've searched and searched and pretty much found the answers i needed but thought i'd post here to get some direct help just to make sure im not messing anything up. After searching for a while, i now know that i have to add $655 and remove $693 from the CAS and FRM and then "process car". It doesn't sound that bad. Do i have to set anything as active? or am i all set after i do that. There was so much different answers floating around that i just decided to post here and see what people have to say. Also..i still have yet to buy the cable because im not 100% sure which cable i should buy. All the ones i find on ebay are for BMWs up to 03/08 production date. The sirius module i bought is the p/n 65129192273 i drive an e92 09 335xi any help is much appreciated Edit: does it matter what sirius module I code into my car? As long as its compatible with my car correct?

If I was doing it, I would not code the whole car just to add sat radio. Touching too many things for my comfort.

Take what I say with a grain of salt since I'm new to coding myself but I never code the whole car.
I FA_write the modules that store the VO then individually code whatever module(s) I need. |

Can any of you guys point me in the right direction for a cable? I tried ebay but most of them say 1998-2008 so they won't work on my car. Plus i don't wanna get a crappy one that could cause damage to my car. Thanks for the replies guys

For the cable, buy this one:
http://www.one-stop-electronics.com/shop/ I have coded many cars with it and others have also reported that it is a quality cable. With the included adapter you don't have to worry about model years. You might find cheaper cables on eBay but you're taking a chance that it won't work. Good luck and happy coding. |

You have to add the VO code like you said, but you also have to enable it in the iDrive or Radio. I think it's just SDARS=aktiv in CAPPL (idrive) or MRAD (non-idrive).
