FRM help!

I just purchased a new frm and need it programmed to my e90. Any shop or fellow member recommendations in northern va?

I had mine programmed at RRT. If you do take yours there, just take your tune out if you have one (ie. JB4, etc.). For the programming, the tune has to be uninstalled. After the programming, you can reinstall it. Or they can do all that for you (for a price).

No, for some reason the JB4 blocked communication with the FRM. Another person had this same issue when the dealership (instead of RRT) was trying to program the new FRM.

I am getting ready to replace the injectors on my car now, and everything I am reading for that states that you have to take the JB4 out of the car (not just map 0) to get the coding done.
