Just bought a M4. Waiting for my 1200 mile service before I code. Bought a cable on ebay. Anyone have experience with coding in the Denver area?

I'll probably do the same. Let me know how it goes and if you have any tips. I can do the same once I start mine. First I need to find a Windows Machine. I just use Mac's.

Funny, I'm in the same situation being a mac user. I had to pull an old windows laptop out of mothballs. I'll let you know how it goes. Probably going to try this weekend.

I have a cable and a windows machine to do it. However, I have not downloaded the software or taken the time to learn how to do it.
I've had multiple vehicles coded by Okee at Codemycar.com when I lived in Maryland. He also does remote coding and I recently had him change a few things on my M4 via remote coding. He launches a VM on your computer(might even be able to do Mac) and does the coding that way. Just another option if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. I would do it if I had someone to tutor me, but am hesitant to do it on my own.

Thanks, I may go that route. I've looked at the instructions and feel fairly confident I can do it, but maybe if I watch Okee do it I may learn from that. Depends on how much he charges too. I've seen prices as high as $100/session.
When I had my 335 there was a guy who coded for free. BazookaJoe or something was his name

- Nav disclaimers off - seatbelt warning chime off - speed lock for owners manual and Bluetooth pairing off - Euro MDM - Amber side markers off - A/C remembers last setting - MMI off with door opening - Break force flashing I think that's all. Took about an hour I'd guess. |

sleepy75, do you have a cheat sheet with the coding values? I've found a couple online, but some seem to be contradicting each other. I think I'll try it in the next few weeks.

Has anyone coded that is close to Denver that would consider helping me? I just wanted to do a few things like Euro LED, side markers on lock, nav disclaimers off etc. I only have a Mac and am hesitant to code myself anyway.

I finally got around to coding my car a few months ago. it was a little nerve wracking for sure. But after I got the hang of it I was flying through it. But I didn't want to f'up my car. I could give you some tips and guidance if you'd like. Do you have a cable? I am a mac user too, but brought home a Windows laptop from work to ensure it'll work. I heard you can use Fusion or Parallels w/ in the Mac too. Have not tried that though.
In the above posts there are some helpful links and videos. I did backup the files before I started coding too. Printed out the steps and the cheat sheet for the stuff I wanted to code.

I was going to go the route of codemycar.com, but I was afraid if I ever updated the software all my coding would be wiped out. Plus I like knowing I can always go in myself and change things if I wanted to.
