Help in Bay Area with Transmission Coding for E88

kirkman · 11-05-2023, 09:48 PM

Hello,

I have a 2008 E88 that I put a new (used) auto transmission in and it doesn't crank/start. I read a few threads about coding it but can't seem to get the tooling working on my laptop and am a bit nervous about doing something when I dont fully understand it. Local shops don's seem too interested in helping me out and are saying they don't offer coding. I am wondering if there is someone in the bay area that has INPA/WinKFP or similar tooling that can help me do the coding. Happy to pay a reasonable fee for the time and effort. Thanks!

Is your stock Transmission computer still in the car? Or did you swap that out

Unfortunately the mechanic that did the transmission swap got rid of the old transmission so I dont have the old mechatronics unit anymore. Is the unit inside the transmission the one you are referring to?
