So I was able to change the blinks from 3 to 5. But there is an unwanted side effect, in that value TAGFAHRLICHT_ECE (which is for DRL) is set to aktiv. I don't want them on.

I figured its got something to do with editing the NETTODAT file. It only happens when I do this particular coding.

Anyone have any ideas on how to change the blinks from 3 to 5 and keep the DRL off? Thanks.

Is the value for 5 blinks 37 or 17?

I started disassembling and reassembling the values in these Daten files (even FRM3_E89.C32) values for wert_01 to 05 using NCS Dummy.

Interestingly, wert_01's default values are 01 despite my triple flash being enabled the whole time (shouldn't it be 03 then?). I recoded the car. When coding is finished, the checkmark next to Triple Flash in my iDrive is gone. I turn the car off and then back on, and it still only blinks 3 times and the checkmark is re-enabled in iDrive. Seems like whatever I did to the Datens did not work.

Also of note: When disassembling the Daten file in NCS Dummy as per muhanda1's PDF, it never asks me for a Configuration file as indicated in the steps of that PDF... It simply saves the txt version of the Daten for editing.

My B 00341500 reads as: 0010,28,24,28,24,28,34,28,2C,28,34,28,34,00,00,00, 00. There is a 2C where you guys reportedly have a 2F :/

easiestt way to get it done is use ncs dummy then disammble your daten file.. (frm/nfrm) look for this value MIND_ANZ_ZYKL_TIPP_BLK then change the data on it to any blinks that you like

I figured out my problem; DRL_V_GEDIMMT was aktiv. Once I turned it off, the DRL went off and I have 5 blinks! yay! (btw, using value 37).

Can't wait to try this!

This worked great!
FYI to all, after coding this change, you have to remove the key, then put it back in for the change to be seen. It was mentioned in the video above, but I thought I'd add it to the thread.

I managed to get this working in my 2009 335i sedan. Apparently the location of the value that needs changing depends on which key you are using at the time of coding. I've got 2 keys and apparently I'm using the 'second' key. For those with newer e90s, you need to pull the NFRM module from CAS using NCS Expert, and then change the appropriate values in the NETTODAT file.

Original line in my NETTODAT.TRC:

B 00341500,0010,28,27,28,27,28,27,28,27,96,2C,28,27,00,00,00,00

Modified for 5x blinker count:

B 00341500,0010,28,27,28,27,28,27,28,27,96,37,28,27,00,00,00,00

Note: When you do reading NFRM by NCS, pay attention to which module (my case is FRM3_E89.C31), then using NCSDummy to modify that module (I saw other friend having different modules).

Thanks a lot!

I did better than paying close attention, I copy/pasted.
- NCSExpert initially defaulted to FRM3_E89.C08
- After "Process ECU" it read FRM3_E89.C31 and I copy/pasted that into a txt file.

Then along the way NCSExpert somehow now reads FRM3_E89.C32. How did I get from C31 to C32? I certainly didn't do any kind of WinKFP or Tool32 stuff, just NCSDummy/Expert.

Great question. I bet Joe@TopGearSolutions knows.

Strange for sure. Something

When I "Process ECU" it identify in my car as FRM2 and then once I "Read Ecu" it comes back as FRM3.

[LMB335IS]

While I can't give you the technical reason why it changes between "process ECU" and "read ECU" it's not because there's a issue with the software. It just does it. The module you read after the "read ECU" command is the correct module and the one to use for coding.

Sorry if I missed this but do you need to do this for each of the keys that are programmed to your car? I have an 09 328i, and I can program each key's preferences to either 1 or 3 blinks, if I use key "A" and change 3 blinks to 6 what happens when I use key "B"?

You don't code each key per se, rather you code each line of daten that pertains to the keys and you have to do all four lines or it won't work for any key. So you make the changes in four different lines. First would be "MIND_ANZ_ZYKL_TIPP_BLK", then "MIND_ANZ_ZYKL_TIPP_BLK 1,2, and 3. I leave the 3 blink checked in my I Drive, which would be the wert_02 value that I would change to 4, 5, or 6, whatever ever number of blinks I want. Once you've changed the daten and recoded you'll have the same number of blinks no matter what key you use. Just remember that if you change from multiple blinks to single blink in the I Drive it undoes the coding and has to be recoded.

Joe@TopGearSolutions Got me hooked up with 7 blink count on my 2010. Shout out to Joe

3 = 0x2f
4 = 0x33
5 = 0x37
6 = 0x3b
7 = 0x3f

Safer this way ?
To put 0xbb instead of 0x3b would actually change values of other (who konws what) settings, I wouldn't do 0xbb.

my 2 cents (in case not everyone realize that).
Thanks op & srwatters for the info.

Just programmed my 2011 BMW 328i Coupe and values worked perfect!

[championc]

Would anyone know which module I need to find the values for in an E46 ? I have an LCM with SW v4.5 so One Touch is working but with just 3 Blinks

[Joe@TopGearSolutions]

Try GM5.

[Teq]

I've changed the blinker to 5 times. What do I have to code to get the 5 blinker for both keys?
