Shift lights and disable secondary air pump can be done by using this software:

You can also increase the speed limiter, enable sport button memory, change warm up light sequence etc. Very easy use and only £20 per licence
Auto volume adjustment doesn't require coding - follow the guide here:

VANOS test requires GT1/DIS, a few members on here have this software
Yea I can do those things but I have since forgotten as I decided to buy the licence which makes it so easy.
Should also change your engine temperature lights to correspond to the oil temp . As in a non CSL they extinguish way to early. Which is just stupid
If your in Galway mid July I can do a vanos test for you.
Thank you for replying lads.
I didn't even know you can your engine temperature lights to correspond to the oil temp. Definitely makes sense. I am gonna look into those links.
Any links where I can pick up the cable for that software?
@schoonerm3: cheers man, I ll keep it in mind.
So I guess from reading the thread and my neanderthal understanding of computers, I will need BMWFlash software to read the "map" which I will modify with the software above.
and for BMWFlash I will need this cable?
FT232RL based cable

Correct me if I missing something.
Yes that's correct. You willl use the bmwflash to download the .bin file and upload it to Martyns tool. Make your changes and flash it back to the car.
Ask Martyn about cable's
cheers man I ll get in touch with him but if anyone around Dublin can do this for me, I ll happily throw few quid your way.Quote:

Unless you buy the tool your only other option is to do it manually. Which involves bmw flash to download the . bin file and then using a hex editor software to locate the correct parameters and changing the bytes to the correct ones. It's would take a bit of time to do it manually and would be cheaper to just buy the tool.
Has anyone updated their DME to the latest version?
What exactly do you mean? There are no updates unless your referring to the smg or something.
maybe I am getting confused. I read that you can launch WINKFP which will tell you to which version update your DME. Supposedly makes the car drive better. Maybe it is for smg...
There is no update as far as I am aware, Its common for smg to adopt the csl smg software.
Your are correct, BMW always release DME updates to correct bugs or improve other areas during the production life of the car and even after in some cases. Not uncommon to see up to 10 software updates for DME during the entire course of a production of a car.Quote:

my car is 2001 so I thought there might be some updates/fixes. but I am not able to find much info. Might just leave it... if its not broken, dont fix it... or break it.Quote:

I also enabled burble/pop off temporarly but it didnt seem to work.. damn it.
Gonna look into what else I can code.
Yeah for the sake of 20 quidsQuote:

Can you explain what is a Checksum calculation for binary? Is it something to do with DME binary file encoding?
Checksum so something like a confirmation to ensure that the edit you have made is going to be read by the car and everything is compatible.
Programms such as bmw flash automatically check the checksum and correct it
Did you change the warm up light sequence? Standard sequence extinguishes too early @60 degrees C.Quote:
