are you comparing included to github posted or something else. Please clarify and I will provide a clear response.

Yes difference in size between sheet in github repository and sheet which is icluded in launcher. I have remove empty lines in first one by the way.

Couldn't find an answer to this - does taking the car in for service/getting the software updated, does that wipe the coded changes? Also I wonder what the macro-programmability is. I'm a software developer and having to re-do all those changes, etc sounds like a pain in the ass. I'd love to just write a script to do them all, haha

Any ECU that is updated will be coded to factory values.

Did you watch video on Launcher Cheat Codes?

I haven't been able to yet, but I was just looking at some of the xml files, looks pretty neat. Haven't gotten my car yet so just trying to learn as much as I can. I don't have a Windows laptop, so will probably have to resort to bimmercode, which I guess is where my macro thoughts came from.

You can use Windows Virtualization if you have Mac.

Yep, I'll have to get that working!

Hello All
I just purchased an ENET cable and will install the E-Sys.rar and launcher premium 2.x as well as v63.1_psdzdata_lite. Will those be enough for me to get help with having some coding like close windows at exit, trunk release and close...etc? Update Nabil software. Can I get xm code retrofitted? Can you or someone else help me with that? Is that volunteer/$ if $ how much?

Feel like a kid in a candy store here lol

I answered your same PM's regarding Coding, Nav Update, and Sat Radio retrofit, as well as you same exact post here:

Yes you did and I absolutely thank you for that. I just found on one of the coding threads that I can create my own FsC codes using a generator http://cartechnology.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=29966 and that the latest NA update is online and shared a link so am trying to understand if indeed I can do it myself. As I mentioned to you it is part of my learning curve. If I cannot then definitely I will go with Gerry. Hope you understand where I am coming from. ac

Help Please!!!
I must have done something wrong, I did FA coding for the Bluetooth audio and the sport+ ... it's working but when I did the right click on ECUs, then 'Code', I did it on the root one and now I have a Propulsion Group error that I can't get rid of... I tried the 'clear all DTCs' from E-SYS External Applications but the error is still there. The car is working fine, no loss of power. How can I get rid of the error? Thanks!

You mean SVT (Top of tree)? You VO coded entire vehicle, including DME? Did you get any ECU errors? Was engine running? Did it complete?

You are going to want to scan vehicle (complete test) with ISTA+.

Yes, I misunderstoud the instruction and did code the entire vehicule... not sure for the errors, the log was pretty long but everything seemed green... the engine was running... it did complete!

Re-Read vehicle and make sure you do not have any missing or corrupt CAFD's.
