Hey, all. Sorry if this has been covered somewhere but I'm not seeing it, if so.

After breaking (not one but) two ambient light tubes (trying to swap the tubes from a used trim to the original LED's/trim panel), I'm just going replace the trim, altogether.

(Honestly, why BMW doesn't have a way to buy these tubes is just dumb, and one of the most irritating manufacturing idiocies I'm encountered.)

Anyway, since I'm going to just use the LEDs in the new (used: Ebay) trim, I understand that the replacement LED modules will have to be addressed/coded into my car. Anyone know how to do that, or am I going to have to take the car into the dealer?

These are plug and play no coding needed. I am selling a 2 interior trims

Oh, I thought they were on a lin bus. It'll be way easier if they don't need addressing.

I already have a trim on the way.

The LED module must be re-addressed after replacement.
The address can only be configured with the diagnosis system.
If a swap of LED modules was carried out as part of the troubleshooting, this swap should be reversed prior to autoaddressing.

Sigh.

You can replace them without doing anything first.
If they dont work properly then you can try re-addressing them. You can use ISTA to do that, if you dont have it then I can do it for you remotely using ENET cable and windows laptop.

I have an older ISTA GUI. Not sure if that's what you're talking about. The database is too old for my car anyway, though.

It doesnt matter if the version is old. As long as you can scan the car it should work.
It should be under service function,Body
