i went to an indy for them to code some items on my x5 but they couldnt do anything with their autologic machine...am i correct in assuming that you can code more stuff with a k+dcan cable and the appropriate software of the web  than an autologic will do  ...hopefully those with experience can advise..

From research --

You can get Scanner 1.4 which apparently works

Or use NCS Expert and a Carsoft Compatible cable
(If going the NCS expert route then NCS Dummy is a good package to use also)

There are loads of guides on line
Google them and you will see

i have the cable , so can you confirm that using ncs expert will code stuff that autologic cant ..

You'll find lots of useful stuff on the BMW Coding Forum too if that helps at all

thanks Richard, i have the cable and have downloaded the software but before i blow myself up i just want to know if the ncs expert software will be able to code my x5 or if it will be the same as the autologic software which wont...

anything that is settable in any module can be coded by NCS Expert
It is what the factory / dealers use.

It is recommended that you use something like the NCS Dummy package also as that gives you a more readable translation of the settings available.

There are lots of write ups on the net but especially useful on :-
