Well, once BiMCOM is released you can update all of those setting from your laptop... So just bide your time until then.

Good point. I wonder when its coming out, they've been working on it for quite a while. Though since VAG Com is $199 including the adapter, you'd need to want to do a lot of fiddling to actually make it cost effective.

But it'd be cool anyway, so eh, who needs cost effective. and you could do so much else with it.

We haven't even approached our nearest dealer for fear of running into the same discussed herein, which we saw in INDY where we bought our MINI. [We called it the GAP Store from Hell Treatment!

[not his real name] at a WI MINI dealer, losing our first MCS purchase; so, I'm nervous about their MINI Service Center.

Point: Few easily get over poor customer treatment, especially regarding an expensive purchase (1) & one with an emotional attachment (2).

I'm going to tell them I already paid MINI Service in INDY to install & program it, but, hmm, the programming didn't take?! Could you please do it once more?

I'll offer to tip the service person $20.

OK. $36. That's scooterboy's happy result & it's fair. What am I saying?! $1.80/minute is "fair?!" *But obehave's MINI Service Center needs to get smacked!

PS. Anyone throwin' in the diode once re-programmed, to resume the brake-light mod?

The real irony to the treatment of the service center is that the sales staff are just great

Nice one on the oil change

Yeah, I'll pay the $199 just to program the little-known "Passenger Eject" option.
