Hey guys
So I have installed Xdelete to a 540i because the transfer case was showing an end of life error message in the idrive. I thought this would 'delete' the xdrive system from the car and clear this error. I was wrong. It remained! Turns out after a bit of digging this is something Xdelete acknowledges as something its programme will not be able to clear.
I went through ISTA and did an oil service calibration and also a calibration of the transfer case but it fails the programme when it tries to adjust the motor. So this must be why it displays and end of life fault code.
I have access to ESYS and Protool so was wondering if there was a way of getting rid of this Idrive message from the car. Driving wise everything is perfectly fine. Its just this annoying message which displays every time the car starts up.
Thanks for any input or advice
