My 07 E90 came with CA, but a DME fault and subsequent replacement took it all away

ZDo you think it would be possible to flash comfort access to the "new" VIN so that an MHD flash would pick up the option and enable the relevant functions?

You should have your DME coded correctly to your Cars VO. Then reset you CA module.

This is great! I need to do this. What was the final cost? It looks like about 600 in total?

ramez75 · 08-22-2016, 04:33 PM

I have an extra comfort access module and a passenger comfort access door handle for sale for anyone planning to do this retrofit

PM for additional info.

Pierre26 · 09-10-2016, 07:20 AM

I had some problem to activate the CA-Key Fob, not the usual way, easy, just in the slot but the Keyless one.
So as said in others forums, i deactivated my 2 others (non-CA)keys using ISTA/D with services-body-security-lock/unlock these keys.
Then, using NCS with revtor profile i flashed the CAS adding the $322 and same with PGS (normaly not necessarry but because my CA-key still not running) and then does a SG_Reset on these 2 ECUs.
Now the Door handle opens/closes the door.
Will wire the driver one next but retrofit done !

For those who want some help, hope my small experience does it.

CarFan · 09-11-2016, 05:11 PM

What would it cost to just get keyless start? Anything off the shelf available?

Check post number one I believe I have the things needed listed there. Let me know if you need the comfort acess module and the door handle. I have spares for sale. What car do you have?

Hey Ramez, Thanks for the quick reply, I have a 2013 328i convertible (E93). I'll check the first page of the post. Not sure if its the door handle is the same part for the convertible. If so. I can get those. Do you have them for driver and passenger sides? Didn't you use the CAS module for your project?

I got 2 CAS modules so I used one and have another for sale if you would be interested just PM me.
I have the passenger door handle, let me check if it is compatible with yours.

Thanks
