Hi all,

Got stuck with my problem for a day now.
I manage to get my new base stereo upgrade to work : subs+speakers+amp
All is working really fine.

Buy I'm trying to code the famous $676 option to get my HU run as HIFI.
I successfully manage to code the new VO into CAS and NFRM (not FRM as I have NFRM). But I have NO changes at all :$

What am I doing wrong?

In NCSExpert tool I choose FA_WRITE as I don't have FW_WRITE.
Do I have to something else?

Should I hard reset the HU to get the new setup apply?

I made the changes a day ago, but no changes.




Thanks guys !!

Take a look in the 2urad file.

There should be line about which kind of stereo your car thinks it has.
I don't know if just changing the VO will change this or not.

This what mine looks like with Hi Fi , Bluetooth and SOS.
Its and 06 and I have never changed it.

I heard some of the years weren't capable of being reprogrammed but I don't know which ones and the 2urad file is the 2rad file in Europe.

The above file is for an pro radio not a idrive.

Thanks for the answer man! I'll check this file !
keep u updated

this one is the trace file of my NFRM ...

You should do a readout on the 2rad file only
That will give you all the parameters for the radio only. you notice on mine it says high fi system not to far down.

AUDIO_SYSTEM
pl2_hifi
pl3_hifi

Are you sure it didn't take ?

There is a hidden menu that I don't know how to access
that shows what level the radio is at. You hold some the menu button or some combinations of the menu buttons
for a ceratain amount of time then it comes up and tells you the parameters the radio is set for.

[laurentProd]

huu, yep but I'm not next to my car right now...
and it's already 1 am in France

I have this :
AUDIO_SYSTEM
pl2_hifi

does it mean the settings were apply successfully?
I didn't notice any drop in sound volume but could be normal...

Indeed, I heard about this trick but I don't know the combination button to press
And I have I-Drive

[laurentProd]

I will try this tomorrow :

[e90drvr]

for the impatient:

Main Menu
Press and Hold Controller for 8-10 Sec then release
Turn Controller Right 3 clicks
Turn Controller Left 3 clicks
Turn Controller Right 1 click
Turn Controller Left 1 click
Turn Controller Right 1 click
Press Controller

[laurentProd]

Well the trick didn't work for me !
After I press the controller for 2s, it goes from the main menu to the service sub menu...
Tried few times without luck !

In step three after changing the VO he codes the radio.

Hi

First add $676 to VO, then FA_write in FRM and CAS.

Then, using NCS, with the profile "expert", code the following modules :

CHOST
CAPPL
CGATE
CAUDI
CTUNE

to code, you just have to make an "SG_CODIEREN" on the modules, with expert profile. NO BLANK .MAN FILE ! No need to read the modules first, just code...

Then stop the car, wait for a few minutes (useless ?) and enjoy for Hifi !

If you just add an amp for front speaker and sub, the the PDC sounf from the rear will become low, but just enough.

[laurentProd]

It worked !!
I was not able to code CAUDI and CGATE but the coding applied successfully !
I have now low level !

Merci à toi le toulousain !!!

[ctuna]

Anybody know the definitions of those modules ?

Hello Everybody,

I am trying to code my stereo to hifi, took a look at numerous guide but want to work with a step by step guide for this that isnt as clear online for this exact job.

If anyone could please input their knowledge on the step by step Ill put as it will be missing alot and then once I've got a step by step I will take screen shots for when I do it and host and link. Thanks in advance.

Plug in cable to OBD port and selected usb port
Run NCSexpert
Click "file" and select "load profile" and select "expertmode"
Click "VIN/ZCS/FA
Click "ZCS/FA f. ECU
Select chassis type "e89"
On choose ECU select "CAS"
After your vin is shown select "enter FA"
Select chassis type "e89"
Ensure VIN shown is correct and select "OK"
Enter $676 and then select "add"
Then scroll down and select "£676" and select "OK"
Then select "Back button"
Then select "F4 Process ECU"
Then select from drop down list "CAS"
Then select "F2 Change Job"
Then select "FA_WRITE" and click "OK"
Ensure CAS is shown on "Get Coded" and FA_WRITE shown on "JOB NAME"
Select "F3 Execute Job"


Thanks again for any help with this guys - its so interesting to learn something new but also scary

Thank you so much! I am doing the coding soon too and your guide will make it much easier.

[bear85]

any input guys on this please would love to get some addition from people who have done this themselves. thanks in advance .

[laurentProd]

Then scroll down and select "£676" and select "OK"
-> $676
this step is to ensure the vehicle option (VO) has correctly been applied.



The procedure need to be apply on both CAS and FRM modules !


Once done, don't forget to "SG_CODIEREN" on the modules
CHOST
CAPPL
CGATE
CAUDI
CTUNE

You need to wait yhe car to go into sleep mode before settings to take effect.
(10 min I guess, go drink a beer, you deserve it!)

You're good to go !

[bear85]

Hello, really appreciate you taking the time to post. When this has been done to cas and then frm modules you then "sg_codieren" the CHOST/CAPPL/CGATE/CAUDI/CTUNE. Ccould you post a quick step by step so I can get it right first time. sorry to seem dumb but I always to be sure before I tinker John.

[bear85]

I have coded the cas and nfrm but I cannot seem to find how to code the CHOST/CAPPL/CGATE/CAUDI/CTUNE of where to select these modules? Any help appreciated
