I like that. Nice work. I like being able to adjust the angle of my phone though.

What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Guise get a $20 Bluetooth receiver connected to your AUX in and hide it in your glove box with power so you can remove the cable. Your phone will auto connect once you unlock the car or once you open a door if it’s already unlocked and be ready to audio stream once you get going. [emoji1417][emoji1417]

That tab always seems to break... I shaved down the metal prong on mine so it wouldn't grip as tightly... It still holds good and much easier to remove without breaking

I seem to have fixed a rattle in my car. It was the usb charger in the glovebox. Damn that was annoying.

Picked up my ZHP from the shop this morning. Totally new UUC Organic Clutch, UUC LW Flywheel (single mass), rear main seal, driveshaft components, transmission mounts, and Z4M FCABs. Feels like a new car! So glad to have it back on the road full time.

Good Deal. Where did you have the work done?

Installed a 4.5 LCM, custom set-up for me by Shawn, the seller.
Thanks to his steadfast support it's running fine and I'm happy to have-
- Quintuple-blink
- Euro-style hazards
- Euro-style wide-range brake force lighting
Thanks, nextelbuddy!

Congrats! I want to do this eventually. Was it just plug and play pretty much beyond Nextel coding in your VIN?

AFAIK there was no Nextel coding involved, although Shawn may have done some of this pre-sale and I lost track of it.
I used PASoft for everything I did at this end.

Shawn sold me a 4.5 LCM custom-coded to my requirements so it could plug-and-play. It picked up my mileage from the fact that it had been set to 0000 before going into my car. Shawn coded in my VIN and the custom details mentioned above.

Turned out there was more to it than that. When I powered up I had a slew of error lights on my dash that I couldn't turn off.

At this point I was advised to basically set the 'new' LCM to match my original LCM on the light coding page (here's mine):

Once this was done all my error lights went out. Thanks, Shawn!

Coincidentally or not, all my work in PASoft at this time pointed to trouble with my adaptive headlight system. I am still troubleshooting this, but it most likely is not related to the work we're discussing here.

Hope this helps.
