NcsExpert changes/codes VIN after FRM2 update

Purpose: write/code VIN after FRM2 update

Car: 330d 2006

Tool: BMW ICOM emulator

Software: NCS expert, Tool32, WinKFP

Tutorial: Upgraded to FRM2 – how do i code it?

The basic steps are:

1. Install FRM2
2. Change FRM2 VIN to yours. Flash FRM2 with WinKFP comfort mode with your VIN. Or use Tool32 to change VIN as above.
2.5. Verify VIN change with Tool32.
3. Copy CAS VO (FA) to FRM with NCSexpert.
4. Change date with NCSexpert.
5. Code to default with NCSexpert.

Exact instructions for each step are discussed and available in the following parts.

It’s very simple.

1. Open Tool32
2. Plug in cable
3. Press F3 and choose the FRM87.prg or whatever FRM you have (see from INPA uif)
4.Select job c_fg_schrieben
5. Enter your FULL VIN (including checksum) into arguments field
6. Execute job

You can check the VIN using job ‘c_fg_lesen’

Once done use NCS EXPERT to copy your CAS FA string to FRM / change date then code to default with expertmode.

Btw, when you enter your VIN you must use FULL VIN. Which is VIN number with a checksum at the end. You can see you full VIN in NCS expert when you do any coding.

Note: Step 2 means you won’t need to use Tool32 at WinKFP can set VIN also…

The basic steps:
1) Remove FRM, install FRM2.
2) Use WinKFP to program the module, make sure to enter your VIN-number before programming.
3) Switch to NCS-EXPERT. Get your Vehicle Order from the CAS module (as we are unsure of what the FRM2 module contains.
4) Write the Vehicle Order to module “FRM” using job “FA_WRITE”
5) Go back to the main menu (or restart ncs-expert) and get the vehicle order from the “NFRM” module. Make sure NFRM returns YOUR VIN and YOUR VO. We want the VIN (FG) and VO (FA) to be the same in both CAS and NFRM.
6) You now need to do the trick described by 4711 a couple of posts back, i.e. change the production date in the VO to at least #0307. If you don’t do this, ncs-expert will not list NFRM (=FRM2) in the “Process ECU”-list and you won’t be able to code it. Change the VO using the “Enter FA” option – remove your production date and enter #0307 (meaning march 2007).
7) Now click “Process ECU” and select “NFRM”

Then just code to default with expert mode.

How to solve BMW ISTA+ 4.10 Error “Programming is not possible”

Here lists possible solutions from users to help those with error “Programming is not possible” when using BMW ISTA+.

Sw version: Ista+ 4.10.30
Hw: Enet cable

Error message: I get message after reading all ECU’s
“Programming is not possible”
If I click this message away I can just continue.

I have: bin, binx64, host, hostx64
But which files/maps must be located in map PSdZ?

Solution 1:

Try it with the BLP data so the folder “data” under C / Rheingold / PSdZ / data ..
Of course, in the Reg also specify that the data is available but still as you have made everything on “false” ..

you unpack the BLP under C / Rheingold / PSdZ / and you get the folder “data” ..
So C / Rheingold / PSdZ / data ..

Reg:

“Product Version” = “4.10.30.15635”
“Main Product Version” = “4.10”
“Data version” = “10/04/31”
“DataVersion_en-GB” “04/10/31”
“Logistic Base Version” “10/04/30”
“SWIData” = “04/10/30”

“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode” “True”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.Enabled” = “True”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath” = “.. \\ .. \\ .. \\ \\ PSdZ data_swi”

If it doesn’t work, try the following solution. It works for someone in earlier version.

Solution 2:

In earlier versions this worked:
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.ExpertMode”=”False”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.Enabled”=”False”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath”=”..\\..\\PSdZ\\data”

Have not tried on latest.

P.S. BLP must be installed normally into data folder. No need to create any empty folders.

Still had psdz path set to data_swi. You must adjust it to be data instead of data_swi when no sdp installed. Then it should not complain and work. BLP data MUST be installed in all cases.

Solution 3:

Create empty folders
С:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data
С:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data_swi

How to replace BMW F11 engine control unit?

Case

- replace the used engine module to F11 2012, because the original was totally dead after incorrect power connection during chip-tuning and remained forever in the parking lot. as a consequence of the lack of communication on the table with the processor in the boot mode.

Tool:

BMW ICOM A2/ICOM Next emulator with ISTA-D ISTA-P programming software

How to:

1. Readout of the immo CAS4 data

2. After reading the data, it became clear that CAS4 EWS5 crypto.

3. Next decode CAS4 memory to obtain the synchronization code.

4. Entry of received synchronization code into the new-used DDE741 engine ecu.

5. Change of three VIN codes in the new-used engine control unit.

6. Zeroing the mileage in the new-used engine controller because the mileage in it was 116335km, and in the car 227140km.
