I'd have a go for you.....but I'm in Leeds. proper Leeds, not the Kent version.

I've got INPA for diagnostics and then NCS Expert and NCS Dummy for the coding bit.

What I did was buy an old windows XP laptop off facebook marketplace for £25. Freshly formatted.

You can get the cable and software from here.

It does take some messing about but I managed to get it all working the other day. I know have the MPH readout on the dash and coded comfort open/close off the key fob. Which is handy in the convertible.

Main reason for getting it is I think my battery is starting to show signs giving up the ghost so it means I can change that and register/code it myself. Plus it'll obviously come in handy for when the injectors start playing up or when something else decides to stop working.

Where in Kent are you OP?
I've used Crago's over in Dartford a number of times for work on the X5. Always happy with their work, not sure what they can do for you, but worth giving them a call.

ive got Carly if you get stuck and thats something it can do (would have to check)

if not, another vote for Crago's. top guys over there. I live in Leeds (proper leeds too) and still use them as i used to live out that way.

No worries mate,if you get stuck or desperate to get it done,give me a shout. Happy to get it done for you,only takes a couple of minutes.

Funnily enough I did the opposite on mine,turned the audio confirmation on. Never knew if I'd locked it or not so wanted an extra clue lol
