UK F3X Coders Map
Just an idea...
There seems to be a lot interested (including myself) in coding their F30's/F31's and it seems also that many of our UK members are rather savvy with it! So just a thought and something I'm willing to try and create; a map coders who are willing to code other members cars. Here's how I figure it could work: Members with 3 Series coding ability (who are willing to code other member's cars) post here or PM me the city or county you live in (not your exact address obviously!). Most of you already have your rough location in your little profile thing when you post! I'll create an unlisted map in Google Maps, drop pins and draw circles/squircles around it (roughly 10 mile radius), with the member's name and car details and hopefully we'll build up a bit of a coding base across the UK! I'll then paste the link here for you all to access. So if you willing coders could post in a structure not too dissimilar to this: Location (county/city/whatever): Model: e.g. 2012 F30 328i Luxury Colour: e.g. Glacier Silver Software Token(s) you have: Am I missing anything? So what are your thoughts - yay or nay? If yay, any additions/refinements to suggest? I think this could work quite well. A member could go on the map, see 'SuchABody456' with the right 2012 token is only 15 miles or so away from them and then Privately Message them to ask if they would be willing to code their car and arrangements, etc... among yourselves. There could be a crate of beer or a selection of real ales in it for you! EDIT: Here is the map so far, with venkata kindly taking the lead! F3X Coders Map - United Kingdom

Great idea, I for one would use this and be happy to supply beer to a helpful person who was kind enough to help me with some coding!
I'm toying with getting the cable and software, not straightforward as I'm Apple only! But if I do I'd be happy to help out other members in my area! |

^^ Fantastic! It may encourage more people to learn coding too so everybody wins!
Let's see what the coders reckon...

Haha okay awesome! Do you want to put down your coding details such as the example in the Original Post and I'll see if I can add you to the map? Will certainly be a good learning process for people like me who know the basics but a bit unsure.

Great idea I'm in the 'intrigued' camp - would probably go for it but not sure what yet
I love that description! Now this sounds interesting. I'm wondering if this is part of how to enable 6NR on a car that has the hardware (pro nav + combox) but just didn't have the option ticked, seeing as it's supposed to be enabled thru coding.

Fabulous! Your PSdZData, that's your "token", right? Which production dates does that cover? Hopefully this works, the lines are 10 miles each from the centre point, and annoyingly, Google Maps doesn't allow a circle so a diamond it is! F3X Coders Map - United Kingdom
