Hi everyone,
I lack any technological knowledge of any kind. So, please forgive me if this is a ridiculous question.
I'm really interested in adding the option that allows me to roll my windows up with my fob. I would also like to get rid of the seatbelt chimes. However, as previously mentioned, I lack the ability to do this myself. Would it be possible to take my car into the dealership and have this done? Or would they have no idea what I'm talking about?

On my MINI, the seat belt chime is the least intrusive of any car I've owned. It dings once when the car is started and that's it. Many other cars will nag you every 30 seconds so it's impossible to sit in a standing-still car without having the things constantly remind you.

hello everyone - wow, great thing I found this post how did I miss it all this time!
The best feature I think listed is the autounlock-on-key-removal!
Does anybody know of a retailer that sells the cable needed, that isn't ebay style? Just curious if by now the slightly more professional vendors offer it...

Try to find someone in your area that will do it. Also, don't tell the dealer. They really don't like it when you tell them that you were mucking around in the ECU.

Thanks for looking, and I'm enjoying this "new" site.

Just a random point, but if you're ever doing coding and it looks like your changes aren't taking effect, make sure you are using the right profile (i.e. FSW PSW MAN, whatever is appropriate). I lost tons of time wondering why stuff wasn't working, heh.

I LOVE Harbor Freight, but I have had a bunch of chargers that all have failed to work properly from there. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere (like Walmart).
And NCS works great for most retrofits! You could easily use it for IBOC, bluetooth (like I did), fog lights, MFSW, and many others.

I am I reading this right? You used *only* NCS expert to get your Bluetooth retrofit programmed and working?

I found in this thread that this cable is what mini owners are buying to use NCS Expert:

but I also see references in this thread to EDIABAS, so do I also need to purchase this additional cable?

I've got the "BMW INPA K+CAN" cable. I've got everything (diagnostics, programming, etc.) working with it and haven't had any problems. I purchased mine from eBay, but I'm sure that they're all the same thing.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I ordered the cable this morning. Need to load WIN7 on my MacBook to get started once the cable arrives. Is there a pdf to follow all the steps? Seems to be just fragment floating on this site....

The INPA that I have installed, v5.00, does not appear to show me the airbag error or allow me to clear it. Is there something that I am missing? INPA is working correctly on my 2007 R56, by the way.

I was never able to get the version of INPA shown on NAM to work with my MCS. I had to install the full diagnostic suite to get that functionality, but once I did, it works perfectly. I can diagnose errors, troubleshoot sensors, reset errors, etc.
