LCI Coding Questions - Labor Cost

So I just called up my local bmw service center and they told me it takes hours to code, even longer if I have navigation (which I do), and estimated two hours of labor to be $180. Is this a joke? I believe I have FRM 2 and I thought all that is needed is to disable the bulb check. Am I missing something?

I'm going to ask the local stealership what they charge but I'm sure I'll hear the same thing or that it can't be done.


Any help?

Dealership just estimated 2 hours at $120 an hour. Yikes, I heard this was simple stuff and that $100 was even high.

Hopefully Mike Benvo can hook me up.
