According to my IIDTool my car has updates pending for the majority of the modules it can see on the car. Has anyone updated them via IIDTool?

It works fine, I had no issues on my L322, I did however connect my CTEK charger to the battery just in case it took a while. When I did a similar upgrade to my Touareg it took nearly 90 minutes! The last thing you want is a low voltage shutdown mid update. BMW i3 Electric Car

I did quite a few things on both of my previous L322's updates and tweaks. It's the L405 and its highly strung modules that put me off. Current

I was quoted £330+VAT to do the update that I purchased from GAP for £25. Great service, great support, Land Rover appalling support as usual, pay to have problems resolved that were there by design. BMW i3 Electric Car

I updated the suspension compressor (trying to rectify an fault that turned out to be nothing to do with the compressor) and it promptly bricked the ECU, the car went onto it bump stops. It would not re flash! However, some emails with Patrick at GAP resulted in some updated files that got it up and running again, excellent service from Patrick 2010 3.6 TDV8 |

These vehicles are very power hungry when the ignition is on (which it will be whilst a software update is in progress).
