Maybe I'm going blind but I can't see a whole lot of difference for the cost!! Might need to see it in the flesh to see the real difference...

Gilbo - probably not really worth it. But I feel the look is just a little more agressive (because there is no white from the indicator).
Anyway If you like something.... sometimes you just have to make the investment!

Guys, we can organize a GB for you and might be able to assist you with coding of FRM2 which CAN NOT be codded with Autologic tool.
We codded a few cars over the past few days with FRM2 modules and Euro LCI lights and everything works great ! You can find some info here http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406753 Here is Euro light vs US ... It is hard to capture it but you can still see the difference We just sold all of the Euro tail lights kits but more are coming very soon. Aleks. |

Autologic will have this working very soon within their tooling, i know they are working on this now. Remote coding is dangerous in many respects in my opinion.

Very much so, as you would most likely end up with differing levels of intergration between the FRM module and the rest of the car.

Other possibilities: - Voltage spike from power source - Wifi Connection drops on host computer - Computer/Laptop crashes during updating The list goes on. If a mistake is made (whether or not is is one's fault) the module can be "bricked" - it will likely not be saved or brought back to life via remote coding, making for an interesting conversation with your SA as to why BMW should be covering the bill. Bringing your vehicle to a qualified programmer to autologic approved facility that has received proper training ensures that the technician knows how to account if any of these things should occur, making sure your BMW is in safe hands. Tools are only as good as the person (with proper training/experience) using them. I'm working on FRM2 coding at this time, Andrew - as discussed on the phone yesterday, I'll keep you updated.

That's right mate. FRM3 will support the new codes.

It was made clear by Autologic team that they don't have a proper coding for FRM2 modules at this time and they never promised to come up with the solution. I hope they will come out with something so all other Autologic shops can offer this option to their customers instead of making them purchase a new $369 FRM3 module. In response to the statement below, there is NO such thing as an Autologic approved facility. Autologic can sell their products to a business or individual as long as they are willing to pay the price. Autologic does not provide any special training except for the once a year training class.

All BMW owners have a right to know who is working on their vehicles - whether remotely or on-site. I'm really surprised you are challenging this - do you remember your PM to me back in May asking how to use your newly acquired autologic and how to perform these types of retrofits? Quote:

I'm still waiting for answers to my questions within that thread on what you are specifically coding within the system, an experienced technician would be able to answer these rather easily. Note: When we do complete FRM2 coding, we will be releasing our notes to autologic, which means you (as well as the rest all other autologic subscribers) will have this coding on your next update as an option. Please don't take credit for this also.

Correct - Andrew @ SouthernBM should be able to perform the coding.

Aleks, that's quite low-class on your part. Why on Earth would you ask Tom to teach you how to be his competitor? Saying that "the other vendor" hadn't figured out how to code for FRM2 was completely unnecessary as well. I also had no idea you had such little knowledge in regards to programming, otherwise I would have never wanted you to work on my FRM2 to begin with. I'll wait for Tom to figure out the FRM2 issue.

Eric,
I was open with Tom that i acquired autologic tool and was asking for some tips. I also posted some questions on Autologic forum and Tom was the first one to reply. This is the reason why I decided to ask him some question. I probably shouldn't have done that. I did not say that other vendor didn't figured out how to code FRM2, what I said was that according to the other vendor working on the same project can NOT be coded. This is what Tom posted: Quote:
And to be clear, Andrew@Autologic is figuring out how to code FRM2. Andrew collects data from cars that come through shop's and then releasing some kind of update. Quote:

Tom,
Nobody is challenging you. I appreciate what you guys do and I said long time ago that you guys did a good job remember ? http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=148 I didn't create any impression nor I mentioned anywhere in that thread that coding was done by Autologic. Autologic was used just to show that the vehicle had FRM2 module. As the matter of fact, I was the one who mentioned in your Q&A that FRM2 may needs to be replaced. Being inexperienced ( as you say ) I was able to figured that out before you mentioned anything about it. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...2&postcount=79 I did purchase autologic not too long ago, but with the help from guys at autologic (Andrew, Keith, Brian) I was able to learn quite a bit within this period of time. For those who don't know how autologic works, it is pretty simple, it has step by step instructions and it tells you what to do step after step. Before anything was done on my customer's cars, I did use my 80k car as a guinea pig to make sure no harm will be done. The reason why I didn't answer your questions should be obvious to you - you are working on the same project. And to be clear again, I never took credit for what you guys did ... if you can prove that I did , you should post that. Otherwise you should take it back. BR, Aleks. |

The FRM2 issue was known when I was performing coding when this started, nothing you posted was beneficial to our cause as I don't typically report issues until a resolution is known or close. I personally worked with autologic to utilize the FRM detection window - the very same one you show in your video. Afterthought: Original post has been edited as we're taking the high road on this one - it's simply not worth arguing about. There is enough info in this thread for those to base their decisions upon. I highly urge forum members to ask plenty of questions before choosing a coding facility for their M3 (whether it be brick and mortar or remote). This is a field where experience matters.
