Reprogram szl module

bmwfst1 · 08-09-2016, 12:09 PM

I installed a used szl on my 2010 bmw m3 because my paddle shifters were not working. Now I need to code it to my car. Does anyone know how to do this?

Anyone who has the coding software, and lots of people do. I had a friend do mine, but unless you are in NH, he would not be very convenient.

And to be specific, there is a misconception the SZL needs to be programmed on a transplant not just coded in order the change the VIN. This is not true: If coded to "defaults" according to the "FA" of the vehicle, the VIN will be changed in the SZL and can be verified by querying the AIF in INPA.

i coded my szl module. the dsc light still comes on sometimes. i have to shutoff the car and restart it, then the light goes out. but after 15 minutes of driving it comes on again. Is the szl i bought bad?
