I need some help trying to code an alarm retrofit on an '08 335xi w/ iDrive and nav. I am relatively new to coding. About a year ago I bought my cable and setup my system and coded up a couple of things like digital speedo, close windows with FOB, etc. That was my only experience.

For the alarm I did some research and installed the alarm components (clown nose and ultrasonic sensor work) and I coded up the VO's $302 and +K302 and wrote to the CAS and NFRM modules, but I can tell no difference and not seeing anything new in iDrive or on the stalk menus. I hear some people talking about then writing with a blank .man file... Not sure what that really means and if doing so will wipe out the other things I have coded already. I would greatly appreciate the help!

FYI- If not too much more trouble I would also like to code up the auto folding mirrors.

**Update**
I was skipping the most crucial steps of the process "process car" and "code car". When I saw those mentioned in a post, I went and tried to do those, and when it goes through the various modules, it errors out on the second one, TCIU (I believe was the name). I get an error and here is the contents of my Error.log file:

Any help on how to proceed/correct this?

[Merlosso]

Take a look at this for alarm retrofits:

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=504338

And don't listen to people when they tell you to code with a blank .MAN file; that is not the correct way to reset a module. Instead you should code the module using the ExpertMode profile.

[pweber84]

You still don't have connection. Wrong configuration.

[wilsjay]

Thanks Merlosso. Was hoping to be able to just add the VO(s) and that would set all those values for me. I am in ExpertMode and I agree 100% about not using blank .man files.

******, Any ideas how to correct? It codes/processes the KOMBI module fine and INPA works fine. I even ran through its alarm tests and I can turn the clown nose on and off in its test...

[pweber84]

You should double check your sp-daten files, are these updated?

[wilsjay]

Which directory would that be? I am looking in C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\E89 and the newest files in that directory are 1/19/2010...
