How to use BMW Scanner 1.4.0 PA Soft to do coding? 
Received my PA Soft BMW Scanner 1.4.0 today and decided to do some testing and 
coding. I chatted with the seller and successfully installed the PA Soft on Windows 7 
system. If you have any technical difficulties with the scanner itself, contact Careucar. 
The seller is great with questions and getting back to you on emails.

Note: you must have all 3 (4 for convertibles) pieces to the alarm otherwise your car 
will throw a code. e.g. you have the siren and motion sensor but no tilt; your DWA 
will show a fault and will not arm. Siren will still go off if doors are breached.

work. Switching to driver will disable the auto-tilt. 
Note: if "Memory" is unchecked mirror switch must be set to driver for tilt to work
(by default it tilts to the maximum amount). Switching to passenger will disable the 
auto-tilt.
