Another thing I noticed is, when I plug the cable into the OBD the light comes on in the cable. I turn on INPALOAD and see both the circles black,. I click on E90 and Karosserie--> "Airbags" and I then get the error that I posted in the previous post and then the light in the cable turn off.
Anyone that can guide me on what am I doing wrong. I even updated the files in "\EDIABAS\Hardware\OBD\USB2.0 Win XP" with the files I got ffrom the below post step 6 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8758367 Another question what is the use of the NCSDummy in the NCSEXPER folder. I clicked on it and it opened a screen which have different fields. Do I need to mess with it Last edited by ramez75; 10-23-2011 at 07:04 PM.. |

Ramez75-
Forget about the Airbag test in INPA it fails for a lot of people. As for the error your receiving in NCS, when you launch NCS and go to read your first module, it will launch ediabas server. Make sure you have the EDIABAS files in the main C:/ directory since it looks like it is failing to launch the ediabas executable. Make sure the file name hasnt changed either. Did you accidentally move the EDIABAS exe instead of creating a short cut? Hope I've helped a little bit. Good luck. |

Do I need to be connected to the INTERNET or have internet on my PC when I am using NCSEXPERT. Where is EDIABAS.exe located, in what file within the EDIABAS directory so I can make sure the file name is not changed. I also updated the files in "\EDIABAS\Hardware\OBD\USB2.0 Win XP" as per the below post STEP 6 (just incase) http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8758367 |

While I was waiting for the cable I think I read that I need to have or make sure that there is a OBD.ini file in the C:Windows directory.
Well before I headed to work I checked the C:Windows directory and there is no sign of OBD.ini file...........Do I really need that and if so where do I get it from Thanks |

Oh I did that too. There is no sign for OBD.ini on my PC
So the question still stands where can I get it from. Does any one have it? Are they car specific if so I will need it for a E92 |

Did you follow steps 5&6 exactly? I had the same error after getting a new laptop. After I started over, I realized I did not set the path as in step 6 or restart as in step 5. It worked after that.

I wonder if I could get some quick help. I had to get my dme updated by the dealer recently and went to recode the digital speedometer in Kombi and got the Speedometer Display Malfunction. Any clue what the cause is here?

ramez...mine did that last night turns out, I did not have the files in the c: I had them in a separate folder.
After I battle admin security setting in vista for about an hour, I could actually save them to c: and then it worked. |

That's what I had already told him but not sure if he followed through with checking the file placement. |

Thanks guys....yea i did follow the instructions.........I downloaded another version and it worked....I had to get the obd.ini file and updated files in the C:\EDIABAS\Hardware\OBD\USB2.0 Win XP.......since my cable is from 3rd party according to another post
I am in the car now trying to code the v-speed cluster...I got to the step where i need to find BC_DIGITAL_V in the FSW_PSW.MAN but its not there.... Can I add it myself????or is the file i am using wrong I am following the NCS_DIY.pdf downloaded in the post UPDATE: Ok the FSW_PSW.TRC was only 7kb but the one that I had backed up following the instructions was 220kb. So I deleted the 7kb and replaced it with the 220kb file (which had in it the BC_Digital_V). Then I opened it using notepad and saved it as FSW_PSW.MAN So just for my education and understanding what is the *.TRC file and the *.MAN file. I believe the 220kb was the one I backed from my car. I will go back out tomorrow and resume Last edited by ramez75; 10-26-2011 at 06:22 PM.. |

Every time you open NCS Expert after clicking "Back" you will end up with a ~220KB TRC file that has the full config for your car. You should back this up somewhere before you do ANY coding. THEN, whenever you click Process ECU and select a module, that TRC file will be replaced with a new TRC file that contains only the options for that module. THAT is the copy you want to switch to a MAN file, modify to your liking, and code back to your car. You do NOT want to work with the 220KB TRC file EVER. So for your digital speedo example, you want to click Process ECU, choose KOMBI, rename the TRC file to a MAN file at THAT point, make your BC_DIGITAL_V change, and code that MAN file back -- as explained in the DIY. The TRC file is a readout of the current config of your car or the specific module you accessed, generated by NCS when you ask it to read the car or module. The MAN file is the configuration you want to code INTO the car and is sent to the car by NCS when you click Execute Job. That's why you start by reading the module that contains the value you want to code (to generate the TRC which will then contain the current config) and convert it into a MAN file after making your changes (to tell NCS the config to send back). Fyi, you should make backups of the large TRC file, the pre-modification TRC files of any individual modules you modify, and the post-modifcation MAN files that contain the changes you made.
