Hi Sean,

As I am sure you know I am a BIG fan of Autologic and believe in praising its good points, but i won't hide its shortcomings. If you are saying that The Autologic software engineers just added a function that was available on the N42 to the N46 that should already have been there, then although its great that they have quickly sorted this, its not so good that it was missed in the first place.

Having said that I don't expect every single function to work exactly as the dealer tool does every time. Remember the software is "reversed engineered" with all the problems that entails and not just a direct copy of the dealer tool. (but thats another story, so please don't go there Andrew ).

I will try to speak to the chief BMW software engineer tomorrow to clarify what they have actually done.

WRT...Andrews comments, Andrew is a well respected and very knowledgeable Technician Who specialises mainly in Mercedes and BMW using only officially licensed dealer tools. I know Andrew personally and consider him a good friend. He has strong views and is passionate about his job. Don't be offended by his forthright and confident approach thats just the way he is. And his product knowledge is second to none.

>>>>Wish i hadnt bothered to post the results now.....<<<<<

Why does this line always come out when someone is challenged, I find there is more to be gained from a sensible debate and disagreement than most other threads on here as it gives you an opportunity to read different opinions and sides to an argument and come to an informed and balanced view of the topic in question.

PS I have just read DBs reply before posting this as I started typing this over an hr ago before DB posted, but too much happening here to type it all in one go. It looks like he echos what I have written.
