Coding pricing

lichenlt · 07-07-2014, 07:09 PM

A local shop in the Seattle area wants to charge me $80 base price then $10 per feature. Is that usually the case with these type of work? I thought I read it somewhere it was usually a flat fee for as many features as I want.

Where are you located?

No worry. Some shop here in So. Cal charges flat fee, some charge base price then a few more dollar per feature.
I personally do it per session.

Non-dazzle high beam and variable light distribution are on the top of my list, after that it'll be the digital speed readout, disclaimer removal, TPMS etc.

Have you done any coding on yours? if so, where did you get the software?

I haven't done any coding yet.

I'm going to be looking into this very soon as well...would love to do the features already mentioned plus shorter seatbelt chime, auto fold exterior mirrors (I think that's possible?) and 5 blink blinkers.

Contact Antonio he'll hook you up. Got a cable from his eBay store just waiting on the adapter for my MacBook then we're going to get to work. Found his contact info in NY/NJ/PA regional forum.

What's the name of the shop in Seattle that does the coding? I'm getting my M235i at the beginning of next month and would be interested in driving up north. I'm not sure if any shop in Oregon offers coding.

Any ebay link for the cable?

Delnari · 07-12-2014, 03:23 PM

I've run of items to code! Have turned on/off just about every possible option my car has. Really wish it came with the Auto High Beam option as the No Dazzle feature would have been really cool. Well, at least my passenger can watch DVD movies while I drive

Japper · 07-18-2014, 03:19 PM

Any coders / recommendations for coders in Lafayette Louisiana area ?

Baton Rouge maybe ?

Ohio Army Man · 07-18-2014, 08:32 PM

Try and do a bulk thing... Tell the you want 15 items... See if they will do it for $5 each... Worked for me.

HX_Guy · 07-18-2014, 08:59 PM

It really is very easy to code yourself and it'll cost you $50. Any particular reason you don't want to go that route?

Ian_Mark · 08-07-2014, 10:08 AM
