If, on the other hand, you use Bimmercode, you don't have engine running, just car in diagnostic mode (3 quick pushes on Engine Start button WITHOUT pushing down on brake)

As I said, I made same mistake. I haven't noticed any problems except that ASS always switches off when I unlock & open driver's door (I have coded car to start in EcoPro). Having said that, oddly ASS stays off going into & out of the other driving modes.

Hope that helps!
Thanks a lot for tip. I will try that with ESYS. So the coding error was because the engine was running? I thought engine always had to be on for coding, but I guess maybe that is for the battery. I am totally new at this coding thing.
