jphughan,
Thank you for the detailed information.....I backed up the TRC (220kb) didnt backup the MAN because didnt get to it yet which lucky me because i would have used the 220kb TRC file and most probably ended up bricking my car. Now I know the difference between TRC and MAN which makes it easier to know what i am doing... I think there is a difference between what you are telling me to do and the NCS_DIY.pdf. You said to choose "KOMBI" on the other hand the DIY file step 57 makes me choose "CAS". Would that be why maybe I couldnt find "BC_Digital_V" in the TRC file. So now since I have the wrong TRC and MAN file how do I go about this. I guess I will need to replace the 220kb TRC from what I get from my car and then save as MAN which will replace the 220kb MAN. Then continue with what you said and choose "KOMBI" instead of "CAS" Do I start from scratch. Below is the steps that I should follow. Let me know if they are correct. 1. OPEN NCS 2. File>LoadProfile>Expertmode>OK 3. File>EditProfile>password(repxet) 4. Car-keymemory>Check all boxes>OK 5. Consistency Check>OK 6. FSW/PSW>Check FSW-/PSW-Trace & FSW-/PSW-Manipulate with FSW_PSW.MAN>OK 7. Consistency Check>OK 8. File>SaveAS>FZG4.PFL>OK (Will be prompted to replace)>YES 9. File>EditProfile>password(repxet)>Profile Info (Set Name: FSW PSW MAN)>OK 10. Select F1>F3>E89 (I have E92)>CAS>OK 11. Select F6 12. Goto WORK folder copy FSW_PSW.TRC and save somewhere as backup 13. File>LoadProfile "FSW PSW MAN" 14. Select F1>F3>E89>CAS 15. Select F6 16. Select F4> KOMBI (instead of CAS according to DIY)>Read ECU 17. OPen FSW_PSW.TRC that is in the WORK folder with notepad>Save as FSW_PSW.MAN> Open .MAN file with notepad>do the change>SAVE 18. GOTO NCS>F5>Select coapReadSgGetFSWPSW>OK>OK 19. Select F2>SG_CODIEREN>OK 20. Select F3 END |

The reason for the discrepancy you're noting in the DIY is that the module you select depends on which setting you want to code; different settings live in different modules. You always select CAS at first (Step 14 in your list) but when you click Process ECU you select the module you need. Digital speedo lives in KOMBI; I'm not sure why the DIY shows it as being in CAS unless some cars do indeed have it there, I've never noticed that issue with the DIY. Anyway, after you read the ECU you want, make a backup of the newly generated TRC file (it should be 2-35KB depending on the module), convert it to a MAN, make your changes, back up the MAN file so you have a record of what will become your car's new configuration, and code away. Again, always select CAS initially, but from there pick the module that has the setting you want to change. Refer to the spreadsheet to find that out. CAS has some fun stuff, like closing the windows with the fob, unlocking the doors when you remove the fob or turn off the engine, etc.

FYI guys, I've successfully coded my E91 on a Mac Air with OS X Lion running VMWare with Windows Thin (Windows Embedded). It's essentially a VERY stripped down Windows 7 x86. It's a boot camp install.
I had to disable two serial ports that VMWare installs by hitting F2 when the VMWare machine starts to allow the cable to be put onto COM1. My setup used the BMW INPA 5.0.2 collection from www.bmwpost.ru, with V41 files loaded into it. While it allows you to pick a COM port and sets up a odb.ini file, the file isn't accessed when EDIABAS loads (I put a read hook on the file to see for sure) so I needed to move the cable to COM1. Also, someone really needs to update the main PDF in Post #1 to have KOMBI selected instead of CAS to get the digital speedo. I know the mistake is acknowledged later, but even though I'd read that it was a mistake, when following the step-by-step for the first time, I understandable forgot about it. That fucked my brain for a good 15 minutes lol. |

I did my first successful programming the velocity on the cluster. Thank you all who chimed in.
So I presume if I want to remove the dong, the Safety message, closing the windows, sunroof using the FOB, folding/unfolding mirrors using the FOB. I just have to keep using the .MAN file that was produced from the appropriate Module is that correct? |

Hi everyone, I'm a new member, and I have recently bought a 2002 745i. I would like to do this programing but before rushing to buy the kit of ebay wanted to ask if the software is compatible with Vista 32bit? my system is actually 64bit win7 but I have the vista 32 dual boot with it.
also I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280761282...84.m1423.l2649 Is this enough or do I need anything else. and one last question is if I need the black cable shown in the link? he asks extra 8 dollers for it, should I get it as well? Thanks for all your helps. |

It should work on 32bit vista with the proper UAC, I agree.
I wouldn't buy that cable. I've seen it first hand. It doesn't compare to the "real" cable from automotive-tool. It's just one of those things that isn't worth cheaping on. |

However, the cable mentioned in the post right above on eBay looks exactly like the one from Automotive-Tool and has the same pics/description. It is possible he is now selling them under a different ID, or has someone else marketing his cables. I personally would buy the one mentioned at link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-INPA-Edi...item3a6b70db78 As it looks to be same cable vs. the clear cabled versions others are selling...

Just got my cable from automotive-tool. I am hoping this will help me resolve my problem with the control module. Brief summary of the problem:
I retrofitted the compass/homelink rear-view mirror last week. After finishing installation, seatbelt and airbag light indicators went off. Also the sunroof and lights do not work. Checked the connections of the module that's above the FZD (roof light cluster) and they are ok. Tried to clear code with BT Tool and failed. BT Tool did say it couldn't communicate with some modules. Then took to dealership and they said the module was bad, repair would cost $1,000+. I politely declined. (I am embarrassed to say that I did not disconnect car battery during mirror install. Perhaps that is the reason the module went bad, if in fact that is the problem). My plan is to get the module (possibly from a junk yard, or getbmwparts if no luck) and install myself. My question is: will I be able to code this module myself with the tools and software described in this thread? Thanks very much in advance.
