In sync? I replaced both modules in my F11 as they got a bit damp and packed up. I didn't need to code them.

They are a nightmare. I had a set of all singing all dancing cornering etc set on my 2011 F11,. Ended up costing me just over 2k for a single replacement with programming modules etc. My next car I was sure to get a version much more simple!

Did you buy a new unit or used?

I believe some of the new units - especially aftermarket need the firmware injecting via eSys before programming with ISTA.

I think used units can just be programmed via ISTA.
