pre-03/2007 vs. 04/2007+
I hear there are some differences in the models up to 03/2007 and those 04/2007 and above. Can anyone explain what these differences are in lamen terms? All that I can dig up is that pre-03/2007 have some coding limitations, but I do not understand why.
I tried to use the BMWhat app on my 04/2007 335i and it would not let me code through bluetooth, which according to the website was only a limitation for pre-03/2007 models. Is it possible that my 04/2007 has the pre-03/2007 limitations? How can I tell? Thanks! |

From 03/2007 BMW began incorporating the D-CAN protocol for communication with certain modules. You will need a K+DCAN cable / Bluetooth adapter for coding on these vehicles.

Where can I look on the car to see if mine has the D-CAN protocol? Or do I have to fail/succeed and connecting it to my laptop to determine this? |
