I have not run into any video file that does not read (mp4, mkv, avi, mpeg, etc). The other thing is you can also encode resolution to minimize black space on screen.

Hi all,

Just a quick call out to Alex@Alpine helping me to update/code:

- Drivetrain error from tune
- GTS DCT/Traction/Diff/Steering
- Remove seatbelt warnings
- Office in motion
- Disable active sound
- Rolls Royce gong
- Driver seat moving back
- And more...

Really great service for a noob like me. Car is now perfect and feels the way it should come from factory!

Hit him up! Way easier than messing around DIY!

Alex@Alpine 5 stars

Alex coded my 2015 M4 and it was seamless on my end. He was able to work with my erratic schedule with out much fuss. In just over an hr he coded almost the full list of updates, all three GTS changes including the GTS DCT update. First he had to update a bunch of modules since my car had not been updated from the original software and it is an early build 2015 (7/2014). He got everything knocked out and i was rolling inn no time.

I already had a cable and he sent me a link to download the needed files and it was on.

I must add, I contacted him to verify the evening time to code and we ended up doing it right then...couldn't ask for better last min service.

Don't hesitate to use his services

Eric

Hi guys, alex just did remote coding on my 2015 m3

He update modules and did the following list

F8X Coding Options:

GTS EPS (Electronic Power Steering) *Stiffens steering for better control/handling with more advance power assist.

GTS Traction Control *Givens more slip in MDM and allows better traction control settings

GTS Differential *Allows for better take off from the line and better control on turns.

Removal Of Seat Belt Chimes

Removal Of Seat Belt Warnings

Unlock doors when engine is turned off (Single pull on door handle)

Radio/iDrive shutdown when car is turned off and door is opened

Remove window safety feature (windows will not stop rolling if door is opened)

Remove Amber Side Marker Lights in headlights

Removal of iDrive Accept Warning (faster boot up after removal)

Inband Ringtone (transfers the ringtone from your phone)

Competition Package EDC

Competion pack active sound


My first impression is competition pack edc is amazing, comfort have great handling now and do not feel loose, sport plus is crazy, i really feel that i'm on coilover, it's stiff, i really like it


I'll update when i'll drive more but for now, very happy.

Bump for alex, everything was done in an hour

Thanks, Maxime from Montreal

Just wanted to give a shout out to Alex his service is stellar not only setting the car up when you first buy it but also coding it back to stock when you sell it. I would not go anywhere else to remote code.

Thanks Alex

Added to the list guys is

CS DCT Flash $200

CS EDC as part of the coding package

The CS steering, traction, and differential are identical to the GTS, those two are the only difference.

The CS DCT flash is more for the user who's motor is not tuned, the CS is more responsive with standard city driving, and canyon/track. Gives the vehicle a lighter feel over the GTS. The shifts are slower compared to the GTS and also the clamping force for is higher on the GTS (it can hold more power.)

The CS in my opinion is for the day to day driver, adds much more comfort over stock for daily driving.

Just had all the GTS options coded, along with a few other things. Only drove it 10 min or so, but what a difference. Really does change the driving experience. Good thing new tires go on tomorrow.

Thank you Alex.
