BMW Business Code
BMW Business Code
Hi There All!
Just refitted my original BMW Business RDS head unit and of course I've lost the code. Does anyone have the software on their laptop which churns out a code if you type in the serial number? Would obviously pay for your trouble
Cheers

Re: BMW Business Code
really? Would you need the serial number? I am struggling to believe a BMW dealer would give you anything for free??!!!

You will need the serial number whoever does it. The number is on the radio, so you will need to remove it.Buz007 wrote:really? Would you need the serial number? I am struggling to believe a BMW dealer would give you anything for free??!!!

Re: BMW Business Code
My BMW dealer only needed my reg number to give me the stereo code. As it happened, the head unit had been upgraded to business cd, so the code didn't work... I ended up downloading a Blaupunkt code generator for Rover cars of the same era, as they had the same oem head units. Sadly, the laptop died, and the programme with it...
Hope your dealer can sort you out,

Re: BMW Business Code
Would be interested to know how you get on as I will be doing the same thing.
Can't try it myself as I'm working away from home without the unit and a work laptop. I dare not download something from a site like that on this machine So make sure your virus checker is working.

Re: BMW Business Code
Anything that asks you to download a program and run it on your computer has the potential to be dodgy, as the program can very easily be laden with malware, and anti-virus software might not necessarily pick it up - sites like this that offer stuff for free are prime targets for hosting such nasties, so I would steer well clear. The sites themselves are often honeytraps and so the sites themselves may also be laden with malware that utilises browser flaws to infect your computer. So please, be very careful.

Hold the 'M' button in for 8 secs and the serial number pops up. Use this online or via the dealership to find the activation code. No need to remove the hu
