  1. Something to get you started with coding. For those interested in recoding modules its easily done with NCS/NCSExpert. That is what NCS/NCSExpert is designed to do by BMW. This usually but not allways comes as part of the Ediabas/INPA software package that can be found on the net. The learning curve can be steep at first. Start here: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=233 and here: http://ecubb.bmwecu.org/board/ Other things of interest are NCS Dummy which is a programme that shows ALL coding possibilities for each module. Not just the ones applicable for your car. The same module can be used in many different cars and requires specific coding for each car. eg E39, X5 etc Replacement modules are programmed with all posibilities to suit all cars that use that module. This is to do with rationalising the number of spare parts. The coding for your car is stored in a module such as the instrument panel/Kombi (E39) and other modules as well for redundancy purposes. NCS has several different options or profiles that can be used. You can also create your own profile. 1. Straight out simple coding of a replacement module without any changes with info from the Kombi. 2. Expert mode allows changes that can be made for things such as auto door locking, key/car memory options 3. Manipulation mode which allows changes that are programmed in the module but not available for your particular model. This is where NCS Dummy comes in as it can read and display all programmable items in the module. Just be aware that if you don't have the necessary hardware you can code that option but of course nothing will happen. eg: Expert mode will allow you to add HID or LED lights and not get the globe warnings. Hope this helps RonR
