FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

Which ADAS systems does the Bmw 3 Series have, and which require calibration after collision repair?
Active Driving Assistant Pro: KAFAS front camera (G20), 77GHz forward radar, BSD side radars, parking sensors and rear camera. KAFAS, forward/side radars and rear cam require post‑collision calibration; G20 needs ISTA, ride-height and FSCs.
Can you reset the airbag/SRS light on a Bmw 3 Series?
Yes. We reset SRS on E90/F30/G20 sedans using our diagnostic software and OE-grade tools. We clear faults, verify sensor/module replacements and perform post-repair initialization with ISTA when required.
What's involved in programming a replacement ECU/PCM for the Bmw 3 Series?
ECU/PCM programming requires VIN sync, immobilizer alignment and module coding via our diagnostic software. E90/F30/G20 may use Ethernet/FlexRay; G20 needs ISTA module initialization, dynamic learning and ride-height checks when ADAS-related.
Do you support all-keys-lost (AKL) on the Bmw 3 Series?
Yes. We perform AKL using an authorized locksmith workflow and key programming for E90/F30/G20 (gasoline and PHEV). Vehicle presence and proof of ownership required for immobilizer sync and fob enrollment.
What's needed after windshield replacement on a Bmw 3 Series?
After windshield replacement the front camera (KAFAS on G20) and lane/ADAS systems need static and/or dynamic calibration. G20 requires ISTA, precise ride-height measurement and FSC codes; parking sensors may need relearn.
Can you service a Bmw 3 Series on-site, mail-in, or both?
We offer both. Module bench programming and some key work can be mailed; ADAS calibrations, ISTA ride-height measurements and dynamic learning for G20 are best done on-site or in-shop with the vehicle.
