BMW coding in Cork?

Anyone know any good coders in cork?

I don't but there are people who do remote coding for you. You will find them on bimmerpost etc. Basically all you need is a windows laptop and a cable. They send you the software then they connect to your laptop and do a remote desktop session.

What is it you're trying to do? I gave it a go myself and it wasn't all that difficult.

On a related topic, is it possible to remote code with PA Soft? I hate the fact that on many BMWs (including my own one) the temperature gauge points straight in the middle when the water temperature is anywhere between 75 and 115 degrees. I really want to change it and I know it's possible to do so using PA Soft 1.4, which of course I don't have. If you've got PA Soft 1.4 the temperature gauge can be reprogrammed by changing the hex values and the buffer can be made much narrower, a popular mod on Bimmerforums is to make the gauge move off the middle at 100 degrees, onto the second white mark at 105, the start of the red at 110 and all the way over at 115, that way you're warned much earlier that you've got an overheating problem coming up - as people with older BMWs know, if they start overheating serious engine damage can occur if the engine isn't shut down straight away, the block gets warped if they're run hot for more than about 15-20 minutes and they never run right again when this happens. (The factory settings are dead centre between 75 and 115, second white mark at 140, start of the red at 124 and end of the red at 125 or 143 depending on the year.)

I have some mobile BMW software with some coding capabilities on it, whereabouts in Cork are you?

I'm in Douglas, what kind of changes can you make?

What changes can be made depends on the car obviously. 'Codings' are merely car settings that may not be available to you through iDrive for whatever reason. Like for example switching off the seatbelt reminder gong. Or the auto start/stop function. Or whether all doors open on the first remote switch or only the driver's door. These are just examples. The list goes on and the newer the car the more is 'softwarized'. Its useful enough stuff but coding can't perform miracles. There are rare occasions where a car has the hardware for a certain feature but its not switched on. Extended bluetooth and USB audio for the F30 is an example. But generally speaking coding can't make you have things that you simply don't have, obviously.

Hi do you still have the software and offer some coding assistance? I have just got myself a 420d MSport. TIA
