    Help with injector coding

    I have hit a little snag. I am going to replace my injectors this weekend because I have 3 leakers. The new ones are Index 12's.

    The procedure looks pretty straight forward, but I just thought I would look at the coding procedure today as a warm up for this weekend. I have a Schwaben to do the coding. I hooked it up today and drilled down to the screen with the values and instead of just seeing 6 digits to change like all of the videos have shown, under each Cylinder I had 2 matching 22 digit numbers. It looked like this:

    Cylinder 1
    94411625119547117501497
    94411625119547117501497

    Each cylinder was like this (different number of course). Has anyone run into this before? I have no idea what values to use now for the new injectors.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I've never seen that before, but I've never used anything other than OEM software (ISTA), so I don't know what to tell you. I've never heard of Schwaben. You could always write down the injector numbers, and what cylinder it was in. It wouldn't hurt anything to drive it to a local independent shop or dealership and have the numbers coded.

    Thanks White94RX. I am running a Dinan Stage 2 tune. Do you know if that would have modified these numbers when it was flashed?

    I don't see why it would have changed them.

    First you would want to confirm if the Schwaben tool even does this process correctly. After all, it's a chinese aftermarket tool that isn't designed to do intense work.

    Original BMW software like INPA or ISTA will do it for sure.

    The Schwaben is designed to do this.

    Do I need a dedicated laptop to run INPA/ISTA?
