I haven't received my cable yet but I have been researching. I ran across this:

NCS dummy. Anyone tried this to figure out what values can be changed to? It will even do some translation.

Ya, went to the dealer yesterday and the car got reflashed for the fuel pump and lost all my coding. Good thing I didn't pay for it or I would of been screwed. Got to love DIY.

It does stop the coding.

For my e65, you will see one sub-module coded one after the other in quick succession (1-3 seconds), unless it's a particularly length module, it may be 20 seconds. (I can take a video if you wish next weekend for your reference...man I messed with the e65 for more than an hour without a hint of the battery dying...e65 is a true champ)

Also if you recently coded and have not disconnected the cable or closed the software, the initial start-up takes a bit longer, as you may witness there was a significant downtime in the video before the KOMBI sub-module got coded.


If it's a fresh start, the car will communicate with the laptop immediately.

DVD in motion Activation on E92 CIC

I believe one has to activate the speedlock menu(ncsexpert),which
shows up on the I-Drive
Only problem is its a secret menu on the I-Drive
Anyone knows how to make the speedlock menu show up
on the I-Drive.

I am just curious.I already have a module for Tv in motion

Thx

That's correct. I haven't been able to get it to work though.

Could you upload them again?

C:\NCSEXPERT\DATEN\E89
C:\EDIBIAS\ECU

Once replaced I was able to read and write all previous working modules + CIC. Please let me know if you have any questions and this works.

Yep, have multiple symbols on my dash. I took care of the tpms with the BT tool but have these 2 still on my dash and a service info (wrong dates etc). This came on after the digital speedo change.

wondering if re-installing my stock file would do the trick?

I have my TCUM retrofitted as well on my car and it does throw an error when I try to access it. I guessing that means (for me) this would not be the best idea in terms of locating a code i cannot find within a particular module as the whole car processing will just quit after it hits the TCUM???

Also, I have an e65 as well. Any idea how I can disable the alarm on it? I am having the alarm go off randomly for no reason.

Very interesting find. I previoulsy activated those 2 options but nothing appeared on the navigation so I figured it didn't work but didn't realize I need to enter a button combination. Does anyone have any light on this subject.

You can get into the service menu using this:

Quote:
Go to Start menu
Push controller in up direction for at least 10s
Controller 3 notches to the right
Controller 3 notches to the left
Controller 1 notch to the right
Controller 1 notch to the left
Controller 1 notch to the right
Press controller once
The Service menu is now added as the last submenu to "Settings"
I think another combination needs to be entered so that you can see the other two menus. Someone offered to sell the information for 2000 Euros on BMWECU. Anyone interested in pitching in?

Glad a 135i owner chimed in. I've been looking to do this, but would be pretty pissed to have to look at random lights on my dashboard for no good reason.

Any other 135i owners out there do any euro coding not resulting in any new lights/codes?

I assume this is the same as the 335i:

Go to Check Control with the stalk
Press and hold BC button for a few seconds
Scroll through CC-ID's to get the #
Go HERE to find the actual error

I had the second one (among several others) when I updated my DSC module and had to recalibrate it in Progman.

yea, i think what happened was a threw those codes from a low voltage when coding. after we finished coding i had to jump my car so i am going to have my ECU reset tomorrow and start over with my battery hooked up to constant power.

Just a heads up, a battery charger is not constant voltage. You need a power supply with over 20amps constant. I just had to order mine so I can finish updating my car's modules.

I had to use Progman which recalibrated the whole DSC module (brakes, ABS, traction, etc). And the codes went away. Not sure this is your problem, just something I came across. I had the ABS light, traction light, brake light, and a couple others as well.

Wow, so it's built into the software. This is the translated

"I disable the test Speedlock only and not as a permanent setting. Test mode is only for leads to activation of this key"

2000 EUROS or 200?

I'll put in 200 EUROS and see if we can get group by. Please email me

************************* if you want to get involved in this.

yep, i have a power supply..should have clarified. thanks for the tips...will play around with things today and see what i can come up with. Spoke with the dealer and they said its common to get a bunch of wierd codes from low voltage and to bring it in for a ecu reset.

Some of the guys over there (and some here, as well) are real assholes. They build off of the things other people share, then don't share anything on their own. Some on the other hand are great.

Do dealers hook the cars up to power supplies when they perform coding; e.g., in the case of a dealer-installed retrofit or similar? As for power supplies, can anyone direct me to an example of one? Finally, can the car be running when you do some of the coding?

Man, things are so much more simple with VWs and Audis and VAG-COM. Never ran into any low voltage trouble making tons of coding changes at one time. Not to mention, the VAG-COM interface is lightyears ahead of anything available for BMW (other than the factory tool). But I digress...

I have always done coding on just battery power. It doesn't take long so there's not too much to worry about. I wouldn't code with the engine on, especially not the CAS or similar. Ignition usually works just fine.

I know the dealers use the power supply for programming, no clue about coding/retrofits.
