Listen to Shadow, get the bimmergeeks cable. I have an perfectly good dcan cable that is capable of coding. Bimmergeeks seems to do everything twice as fast.

I built a power supply from a regulated cb radio power supply and 4 gauge copper jumper cables. Disconnect anything that can draw power prior to coding (after market amps, radar detector). I was surprised at the amp draw for this car.

I used a 75amp regulated power supply at 14.5-14.6V.
