Coding Remotely?

Hi I am in need of some coding but live nowhere near anyone skillful enough to do it so is it possible to code remotely through teamviewer or any other means what would I need obviously the cable. What I want done most importantly is an error cleared from when I disconnected a wire from my battery. Also I want the windows and sunroof to close when you hold the lock button and I'd like the foglights to turn on automatically if possible. Let me know if you can do any of this especially clearing the code. I am not expecting someone to do this for free so let me know how much you'd want for this job. Thanks

If you get a laptop with Windows XP and a compatible cable I don't mind remoting in and helping you out.

What's the error exactly?

Would you mind giving some detail on what I would have to do. Would the cable I linked to work and what program would I use?

all is here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451145

When installed, you have to run INPA, found the Airbag and removing the warning.

For me, I would just buy this one. http://www.one-stop-electronics.com/...&product_id=16

That's what everyone is using and majority of us don't have any issues with it. Start reading from post 277 if you want background info about the cable: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...451145&page=13

Swell I don't see a point in spending 3 times as much when the cheaper cable will work just as good for me.

Some serial cable are cheaper. (~30$)

FYI, you can offer 85$ and you will get the USB cable on ebay.

Ok, if the cheaper cable will work for you then go buy it. Just hope you don't get any errors when you try to use it.
