Well there are vehicles that have sport/sport+ mode that adjusts the firmness of the steering feel, so I'm wondering if you can code vehicles without DHP to have the sport+ steering feel.

Oh you mean code a hydraulic system to act as an electronic one? No. It's impossible.

Huh? X3 F25 has electronic steering rack and models that have DHP option can have steering adjusted in sport+ mode for better feel. Can you code X3s without DHP package to sport+ feel?

What better feel are you referring to? X3s only have 2 steering modes: - standard (comfort/eco pro/DTC) - "stiffer" (Sport/Sport+/DSC OFF) So am I understanding you know this and are asking if you can code Sport+ if your car only has Eco/Comfort/Sport (but no Sport+)? If so, yes you can. But you won't get any different steering mode. |

My car only had Eco/Sport/Comfort, so I could code it to have Sport+. But without modes, setting it as a default I believe is impossible only because it's impossible to code Sport to come as default on cars that have modes. Let me ask you this: if you turn DSC OFF (hold traction button for 3 seconds), does your steering wheel get heavier? |

So the test is simple, while parked, turn the wheel left and right, then turn DSC OFF and see if it requires more effort then. If it does, I'm willing to bet you can retrofit the "modes" button. If it doesn't, I don't think it will make a difference for you (I believe the EPS will be different in that case, and more money to retrofit). Give it a go and see if it makes it stiffer. If it gets stiffer you already have an "option", albeit it being less safe (no traction control or stability management). With the modes you'd be able to configure Sport to give you a stiffer wheel with traction/stability controls still on (allowing you to turn cruise control on while in sport, for example). |

I'm not sure what's involved in it, if it's cheap you can give it a shot. Perhaps it's one of those things that it's just plug and play. Not sure. You can have a heavier steering this way for now though, but you'll see it's just that... no better feel |

Question about a 2011 X3 with navigation and HUD:
- Is it possible to code to make the speed limit info from the navigation maps appear in the HUD like the newer cars have?

Car needs EPS Steering Rack, an 83 EPS FSC Code and proper EPS Coding.

Yes, you can code car for 8TH, but you will need SLI Emualtor hardware.

You can try coding EPS then, but I think you will still need to have an 83 EPS FSC Code for it to work.

Any link for an SLI Emulator that works with the 2011 F25?
