The DSP amp did infact need coding to the car, someone in the past had replaced it for whatever reason and not realised it needed coding, Also I had an issue with the fuel gauge incorrectly reading, This was also sorted with an intrument cluster reset.

Would you be willing to post up what diagnostics software/hardware you sourced and when you 'coded' the amp, what exactly did that involve? Just curious....

Well done btw!

+1 as I'm also interested to know the procedure. Glad it's all sorted.

In answer to your queries guys, I got the software and diagnostic lead from a guy called Jimmy over on the BMW5 forum, He runs his own company and his web address is http://www.cable-shack.co.uk

An extremely helpfull chap,  There are a couple of programs that you can use for coding, One is NCS Expert and the other is Progman,  The first being very tricky to use, click on the wrong button and you can wipe the keys coding,  A trip to the dealer with your tail between your legs needed after that fubar!

I used "progman" which takes a bit of getting used to, There are loads of tutorials on youtube on how to use it,  To give a full description of how I done mine would take hours of photo's and a lengthy write up, its much more satisfying to learn the software for your own knowledge.

There is other software which I used and that was called "navcoder" which will do your basic stuff like turning DRL's on and changing cold tests for you LCM,  I used this software to diagnose the wrong information on my DSP unit. But only "progman" can code the major stuff,

All of this software is loaded onto a disc which is supplied with the cable,  Have alook over on http://www.cable-shack.co.uk

Much cheapness aswell

Cheers for that. Very interesting indeed.

Thanks for that.
