This time instead of somewhat ignoring the error message, I decided to look at it. ![]() ![]() So I cleared the fault codes, and got to that same point and discovered the same problem: the "CON" device needed to be replaced. I knew there were fault codes present in the car, and was hoping that clearing them would allow me to continue programming. This time I was going to try a different approach. Two days later, I drove home from LA, and connected my car to a much faster internet connection. An email to BMWNA confirmed that unless the condition is cleared, the software would not program your car. We did that, tried to deselect the CON device, and the software wouldn't let us continue. Instead, we wanted to deselect it.but that would require starting another programming session and waiting 3 hours to get to that same point. We tried to ignore it, but the software won't let you. When the dealer says it takes all day to program your car - believe it - it really does.Īfter we got the tools and BMW software working (nothing is bootleg, it's all authentic tools and software), we noticed that the software wouldn't let me continue programming because the "CON" device needed to be replaced. One thing I learned, is that this process really takes a long time. I own all of the tools required to flash my entire car, and for $30 per day, you can buy access to the BMW site that will program your entire car via the internet. I suspect that this problem is related to the custom tune in my car. I've been trying to reflash my ECU back to stock, because I've got a very nasty cold-start problem. I've got all of the tools and access to the BMW site to update the programming in my vehicle. The last two days have been very frustrating for me. Here's a warning to everybody who's updated their iDrive controller.
