yes John, you are right. The local dealer said that only the later models started getting the obd 2 ports; everything has to be scanned at the dealer. Taking the car to the dealer, I found out that the port couldnt communicate with the engine computer, meaning either a wire is loose somewhere in the engine bay, or the shady turk that had the car before me really wanted to pass inspection. I think im just going to buy the CPS anyway and see how it goes, and pray i can get my hatch from the states shipped here. __________________ 2009 BMW 335d 1998 BMW 318ti California |
