SKT174 1 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 Hi guys Does anyone know whether I can replace the general module (locate behind the glove box) from another E39? Or I have to get it from the dealership as it needs to be reprogrammed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jochen 4 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 If getting an old module you need to make sure that 1. It is not older than what you have now 2. It is a valid replacement and can thus be coded (part number is correct, coding index etc is correct) 3. You clear the flash memory by removing the VIN before recoding, this effectively makes it a virgin unit Of course, you need programming experience and the necessary tools..... and if you don't have them, go to the dealer, get a new one (they are cheap) and get it coded for your car properly.
