Hi Folks, Thanks for the replies - and the reserve gears !!! .... yeah typing too quickly for my dislexier to catch up The earlier models had the speaker thing hard-wired like my old 330i '00 model. The later models are in software. I dumped traces from all the modules in my 130i and went through each one with NCS Dummy I've managed to find the setting in CGATE module (this is for the E87 chassis, may be different for others) Set it to not active and BANG ! .... no more damn gong when selecting Reverse Gear. Next project is to try get the Bluetooth working

Hi All, I've managed to re-code the radio in my '06 130i from Japan to NZ frequencies - with help from Crabstick's post on this forum. I now want to delete the very annoying reverse gear gong. I've download traces from all the modules now have the task of working through them to see where I can find the Reverse Gear Gong. I did find some options on CAPPL, but there must be other modules as the gong is still there in all its glory. That seems to be the difficult bit with Coding - is finding out how the various modules interact. Once I work this out, I will post the solution here so others can do the same. If someone has already gone down this track I'd appreciate any help or pointers. Cheers, Mick

Hi Duncan, I did the same to my jap-import E87 130i to get the radio onto the NZ Frequencies with RDS - thanks to previous post by Crabstick. I'm also looking to code to get rid of the very annoying reverse gong, and then ultimately recode the full car to Europe or Oceania. I guess updating the VO (Vehicle Order) would be done with the "FA" button on NCS Expert, but not yet confident enough to try this due to lack of knowledge. Cheers, Mick
