I heard that a company called Autologic is providing soltions on SW issues related to Mini.

Has anyone experienced their services? Are they successful?

 

Hi, you may want to check this or an equivalent out, Ebay Auction
DIS is the BMW dealer diagnostic software. A cable like this and some trickery will make the DIS software think it is at a dealership talking to the car through BMW's proprietary equipment. A cable with DIS and a Bentley manual should be able to diagnose most problems. I have ordered one of the ones I linked. It isn't here yet, but I can get back to you with my findings. You can use SSS or NCS Expert to set vehicle memory options as well. Things like auto lock on moving, or auto unlock on engine stop.

I do know that the Bentley manual gives a pretty big endorsement to the Autologic unit. Bavarian Technic would be another option.
