[2011X3Owner1]

Hello, everyone:

So the RDC module on my 2011 X3 (F25) died and I bought a used RDC module from a 2016 X3.

The "TPMS Malfunction" warning still came up after I replaced the module so I figured it needed to be flashed or coded.

I looked into using ISTA-P to "Program" it or Esys to "Flash" it. However, due to the Integration Level being too old, the Program or Flashing will need to update multiple ECUs and potentially update the I Level (which I can't do since I don't have a 70A battery maintainer).

After some research I found some directions about "coding" the RDC module. This worked out for my replacement part as it already has software on it but just missing a CAFD file.

So I followed and updated the instructions below using Esys and everything worked out fine. Hope this help others who have the same problem.
