Hi all, Anyone done a Adaptation on a SMG gearbox? If so what software is required? Been reading about it tonight and wonder if my Launch will do it? Already changed the gearoil, M3 year 2003, the thing performs without fault, but keeps bringing the light on and logging a code for adaptation. If it was a dog I'd shoot it  |

Well, thought I'd cracked this one today!
Launch wouldn't do an adaptation..
I had a close look at the wiring up and around the gearbox and found a rotten wire..Cut a section out and soldered it..
On the ramp it behaved, key on and off a few times..
Back on the floor the light comes on again..
Got the Texa on it, that had an adaptation reset for the gearbox, it seemed to work..
Took it for a 15 mile drive, all good...
Got back turned it on and off again, all good..
Next time the light was on again..
This time unknown error, code 58 which relates to canbus to gearbox ecu..
I think she's got some more wiring issues..Drives perfect though!
Taking it to someone else with who's got a couple of scanners for a fresh look next week.

Surprised with the launch it doesnt do transmission reset for beemers, is it just not covered for this synch clutch gearbox ? could be a software issue with it setting like that , normally dont see a gear and cant adapt.

I'm surprised too, but it's 4 odd years old now and I've run out of updates, but saying that the car is a 2003, so it should do it. I've not tried it on an normal auto, I will plug it into my 7 series when I get a chance  |
