Warning gong type

Hi all,

Im new to this forum, and there is a question of my 06' E87 120i for a very long time, I bought this car in 2012, which is a second-hand car, the first time I went to speculate the car as I remember the warning gong is this one:



but after the dealer went for a service or ecu update(he said) and I received my car, the warning gong became like this:




did he changed my car's head unit? or any ecu update will cause this change?

I really want the better gong back, is it possible to code it with NCSexpert?

Please help! Appreciated!

damn... that's ugly. Get the regular gong back! I'm sure it's in code somewhere!

Yeah mates, Im still so pissed but nothing to deal with the dealer actually lol
just recently wanna change from pre-lci headlights to lci one then started to do some research on coding...

I've found this thread:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=687463

its the e90 but I guess also apply to e87.. I guess
but im 100% sure my car got the original gong b4 the dealer pass it to me...
and checked the headunit its 10/2005 production
wonder why it had the original gong b4 but not now anymore..
anyone knows this? as im getting a cable and software to code my car..

btw, my 2nd-hand E87 has all the 'coding' functions such as hold unlock button to open all windows, holding lock button to close all windows and fold the mirrors... I guess it's been coded for some functions...

but I really hate that crappy gong would like to get rid of it...
