Good to hear..

Now you have the fresh installation, read all the FDLs and save all of them in a separate folder as original CAF files. Subsequently you can use my utility Copy_Caf_v2 to make copies from time to time.

Yes, it was the ACSM module. Now I need to make the backups and start coding again. I will try the new file April1 has posted.

Thanks for your help during my time of need.

Any progress further? Looking forward to see if you can achieve disabling of SBR chimes. Cheat Sheet 10 Settings don't work for my x3 2011.

I am going to stay away from the SBR chimes. I don't want another incident.

That might be a wiser decision.

Honestly.. I dont understand why people want to mess with the Seat belts... I think i have coded around 25+ cars every one of them wanted to do that and i have talked every body out of it.

Seat belts is the last thing you want to play with. just my 2 cents.

I have been driving for last 40 years and the first thing I do after sitting on the seat is to fasten my belt. I really don't need SBR but I don't mind even if it's there. But my niece who sometimes occupies the passenger side, always gets busy in arranging her stuff here and there and invariably forgets to fasten her belts. I need chimes for her though they are so annoying. I will be happy if I can change the chimes to a recorded voice "my dear, please wear.. " in my tough tone so that it's annoying to her but not to me.
