You might contact the maker and ask him if it would compensate the S52 DME's ti signal to feed an OBC coded for an M42/M44.

Reason I'm asking is because if it is then I can snag one so I don't have to program at the dealer. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

There are about 5 module units. Its where the alarm module is at. When programming the car for the obc do one of the modules get the software/program? Or is it really just in the OBC? If that is the case then if getting a used OBC it would theoretically would already be programmed then? __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

A used OBC will have been coded for the car it was in. As I wrote earlier, if your car differs, some of the OBC's calculations, particularly the fuel related functions, may be off – but you may be able to fix that with the aforementioned fuel injection signal module between the DME and OBC.
