Service Action - Software Update Required?

[MRYFLYGUY]

Oh, I get it. If you’re looking for a list of setting changes (features) made, no.

Since the backup is performed automatically before each coding session, the change you made wouldn’t be available in the backup. The only caveat to this is if you made previous changes in the same module. If your coding is wiped by VW, your best is to re-code all your functions again. Backups are really designed to recover from errors caused by coding.

Yes they go away. I had to recode AM radio and the disable seatbelt warnings so the climate controls stay on even after opening the door (no seatbelt accessory required).

I hate that my heat goes off when the door is opened, I need to find that one in the code app.

I forget, is there a way to email myself a text file of the BimmerCode changes?

Check out ProTool from BimmerGeeks. It's a little pricey, but a lot more full-featured than BimmerCode. One real nice thing it can do is give a summary of every parameter in a given ECU that's been changed from its default values.
