I'm using the OBDLink MX+
Thanks!
iDrive shutdown upon door opening: mine has done that stock from day one, so I've never investigated that. Perhaps that's part of one of the settings of Comfort Access. Can dig deeper.

Not working ECUs: Might be related to being in Diagnostic Mode. You should code in Diagnostic Mode, which turns on almost all ECUs in the car. In the past, you had to do that manually before starting to code by pressing Start Button 3 times without touching the brake. Recent Bimmercode versions appear to automatically *toggle* the car into Diagnostic Mode, but I believe I also noticed that if you were already in Diagnostic Mode, Bimmercode actually *toggles* the car OUT of Diagnostic Mode. Confusing. Perhaps observe that. You can see if you're in Diagnostic Mode right now by looking at one of your static iDrive system messages.

PS: Unfortunately I don't have that 2005 PY E46M3 (or the previous 2001 TS E46M3) and I do miss it. Part of the story here: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=25509037
