Unresponsive Gas Gauge after Digital Speed Coding - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

blaknite7 · 10-08-2012, 01:39 AM

I just got into this and for my first code i wanted to try something easy... the digital speedometer. The coding went well, no errors (date and time cleared which i assume is normal). When it was done i had digital speed on my BC menu... but now my gas gauge always points to zero. I tried to resort my previous coding for the module (kombi) using a backup of the TRC file, again coding went well, digital speed was removed but my gauge still wont work. It would return to normal position for a split second while the coding was occurring and then returns back to zero.

The only thing strange i noticed was the display showed either KM or KM/h for a split second during my attempt to add the digital speed. Could this be because when installing the files I chose the UK group instead of USA (i followed the instructions)?

Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it??? Thanks in advance for the help.

you need to update your daten files, get V46 or later to be safe, if you do a search you can find them

basically update your daten files, redo the coding for your digital speedo, all should work

Thanks, I appreciate it. Do you know how to tell what daten files you currently have? (it came with the install so i was curious...)

I think i have 4 versions of INPA with different daten files, and i think one of them is v47.1 so i can transfer them to the version of INPA i was able to get working...

Again thanks.

so i updated the daten files but now there is an error in the SG description... not sure what that means yet. i knew this was too easy...

What version did you use and where did you get them from?

blaknite7 · 10-11-2012, 02:05 PM

I used v47.1 of the daten files. They program nicely (no errors there) but they seem to crash with INPA and ediabs. I got them through hours upon hours of pain staking searching on the web.

Hmm, those should be good to go unless the specific version you got from your source is corrupt or has files missing.
Or you upgraded the daten incorrectly.

Its just inpa that doesnt seem to want to work. After doing the daten files (47.1) NCS works fine and is able to code different modules. Weird. Im not sure why INPA wouldnt work and NCS expert would...?

If you are interested in trying 47.5 SP-Daten, let me know.

Ill give it a shot to see if INPA will work with that. Can you PM me with details?
