    GreAt video I have lci e90 same issue dealer quoted me 500 for new module and 250 for programming- so 800 total , I did spend 200 for diagnostic. Thanks again

    Thank you for this video. I was able to reset a used RDC that I installed on my 2011 MINI thanks to this. That BimmerGeeks app seems pretty great. Thanks for showing how simple it was.
    I still need to learn to use the BMW Tools to update firmwares, but for a simple factory coding of the module, this method was perfect.

    I just want to thank you for this video. I used to work at a BMW dealership in Grand Rapids, MI and since leaving I've been on my own (no more discounts) in maintaining my 2011 328xi. When it started I researched online but everything and everyone had different suggestions of what could be wrong and then I found your video. Obviously, living in Michigan I drive through snow frequently (not doing donuts lol) and I noticed my tire pressure light was the most prominent when it was happening. Sure enough, just like you showed and explained in your video, that was the problem. I had someone remove it and other than the tire pressure light staying on, all was back to normal. I really don't know what I would have done without your video. It wasn't only the information you gave but the way you explained it. Compared to everything else out there, which is overwhelming and confusing, you made sense. I just wanted you to know how much I truly appreciate it.
    Thanks again,
    Jen

    Appreciate the video as it is exactly the problem I have. After replacing my RDC, the TPM Malfunction warning persisted. Some other video mentioned 'coding', but never got into the detail on what 'coding' is. I thought it was to relearn the individual tire pressure sensor. My local tire shop wasn't able to write/register the sensors to the new RDC. Now I understand why. Besides BimmerGeek ProTools, is there an alternative for Apple devices?

      That's the MHD Orange WiFi adapter for E-Series BMWs. It's designed to work with the MHD tuning software but also works with a number of other softwares, such as ProTools. I bought mine from Burger Motorsports but if you go on the MHD website you'll see there's a couple different vendors that sell them depending on where you're located. You can also connect to the car using a good quality K+DCAN cable if you don't want to go the wireless route.

    What a great video man! I just have to find protool? I have the cable and a tablet used for my MHD, my car same as yours but e90 lci- the dealer quoted me 500 for module , 250 to program it so 800 total- I ended up spending 200 for diagnostics - thanks again great video

    • @lifebycars5849
      @lifebycars5849  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad it helped! Sounds like your cable and tablet will work fine with ProTool and you should be back up and running in no time. The module can be found cheaper than the $500 they quoted online, just make sure you get the right updated part number

      I’m having the same issue. I went to Vehicle -> ECU Data and it shows identified control units but my RDC module doesn’t show up. I probably just need to replace it though. Weirdly enough I can’t click on any of the other identified control modules though so I’m not sure if this is actually the right menu.

    Where you able to fully insert the RDC module to the female cable socket? Mine is not fully inserted, but appears to have no more room to push the RDC in. In the Protool Menu, the TPMS RDC appeared but am not sure if it's communicating, because the TPMS light in the cluster was still on. I tried to do TPMS reset, but was just showing "TPMS resetting" for so long with no result.

    • @lifebycars5849
      @lifebycars5849  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you factory code the module? If ProTools is reading it then it’s probably plugged in

    • @cdebelen4557
      @cdebelen4557 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@lifebycars5849 yes I did. RDC module appears to have had communicated since Protool showed "sucess" and "coding finalized". But again, status on the dash shows "TPM resetting" was taking forever. I drove the car for 15 minutes and light is still on.
