today I finally got my 518ak v3 file and eeprom into the ecu but it will not accept my originally stored coding values. just to note im coming from the 518al v3 uk file that i was running, maybe that has something to do with it? this is the error i get in VCDS,

error 31 request out of range coding rejected.

car starts and runs ok...

518AK has to be coded with US coding man.

thought it might have been that, my orignal coding is '0011701'  you wouldn't happen to know what I need to change it to for USA. I have looked through label files in vcds for the '8E' but nothing for coding engines there. thanks

All that matters are the second to last digits. Make sure those match what's on your CAN-bus, and that's all that matters.

11 is the only part of his not valid for us though. 701 is valid coding.

I know, I was just saying, the market is irrelevant in this case. xx70x are all that matter in this instance.
