    Airbag coding

    I bought an 04 Z4 that needed the airbag sensors beside the seats replaced and also for safetys sake I replaced the one between the seats behind the e-brake. This was due to a low level flood, lower than the seats. What I need to do now is code the sensors with the cars VIN. As of now I cant find anyone local that can even read the airbag sensors. Local indy tried with a Snap-on and had no luck. Anyone else done this? Im looking at the Autel MS906BT, any other recommendations? Also looking at INPA NCS xpert but it seems to me the the Autel has a better UI than the INPA plus Im running Win 10 64bit. Thanks

    I had no idea you had to code airbags?
    I read a forum post stating "Buy an OBDII usb cable and use Tool32 to re-vin the module." No clue how this works and assume you have also looked for tidbits like this.
    Let us know what you figure out.

    I should have added "module" to that, you don't have to do this to the airbags but to the modules.. I sent the central (SIM) module off and had it flashed, but MYCARLY app is still saying "incorrect VIN" on it and the satellite door modules. Going to try to run ISTA D this weekend and see what happens.
