    Footwell module

    I think the FRM has gone bad on our 2011 328i. I had never heard of this thing before today. I'm starting to read up on options: rebuild, buy new, buy on Ebay and code to our car. Any advice from those who know??? thanks in advance

    I fixed it! Here is what I did: bought a junkyard FRM (don't buy FRM1 or FRMFA. Ours came with FRM3, but the junkyard FRM2 seems to be working) , downloaded INPA onto laptop and followed instructions on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl8Ai9S48Cg . (There were a couple of places where my software was not exactly the same as his, so I had to guess what to do. Either I got lucky or those decisions didn't matter much.) ..... Anyway, the $70 fix can be done, instead of $1500 from a dealer, or $500 to send mine somewhere for fixing.
