    Oh man, I don't know how to do that... Did you look at WDS (the wiring diagrams)?

    No as I am unable to access any of that on my iPhone or MacBook unfortunately .. if someone could produce pictures I could pull it off as I just did the guides with ipe blocks and a metric bolt that was tapered for a crank lock

    What do you need coded? I would like to make sure that I 1) can do it and 2) know exactly how to do it before we try, because coding on these cars can very quickly go from 15 minutes up to 2-3+ hours.

    Life is really really busy right now... I have 2 months to finish my thesis and I'm travelling all of April on the weekends for interviews and moving. So if it's gonna happen it'll have to be here in March or some time at the end of May. I would be willing to do it one of these next two weekends. After that, it's anyone's guess.

    Also, your battery has to be healthy and fully or nearly fully charged. I have a charger, but it's not a huge one. So it'll let me code for a decent amount on a healthy, charged battery, but if it is old, weak, and not well charged, it may not be able to keep up.

    Everything is forsale no one has even come at with offers besides trading for a 2000 montecarlo and another was a trade for a Mazda 3 .. so I would rather look at my BMW sitting than drive one of those pos rigs
