Hello,

Im trying to flash and change the VIN of an repaired FRM either with winkfp and tool32. I would try to explain the real problem but the attached pictures talk theirselves.
How can i write to this module if Existing AIF is empty?
Please let me know if additional details are needed.

Thanks

Does it allow you to code the frm in ncs expert?

whenever i try to read VO from FRM/NFRM it gives “vin faulty” error. Reading from existing CAS it displays the VO and VIN properly.

Rear vin from CAS, FA write to NFRM. Close out of ncs expert, load CAS VO, choose NFRM and SG Codieren

Thank you, I will try this.

Before that, again there is something disturbing my head. The traditional guide, in many forums and posts, it is: Step 1) Tool32 write new Vin OR Winkfp ZUSB programming. Step 2) NCS Expert, read VO and Code the target module to factory settings.

So what is the purpose of step 1 when step 2 is sufficient?

Thanks again...just trying to understand the logic behind

There's no need to write the vin onto the frm unit for it to work. Winkfp will update firmware and write vin and tool32 just writes vin. But I wan you to try coding it to the car since I've never seen blank information like that from an frm unit so I suspect maybe it wasn't repaired correctly. Did all your frm functions come back after installing the unit?

[elthox]

When repaired frm was plugged, high beam for example wasnt working. I didnt check all the functions. As soon as i get the car here, i will update you about ncs expert coding.

I believe what you are doing is reading the VIN and VO from the CAS so that the computer knows to program these same values into the FRM. I have recently gone through this as well.

its been some time but I wanted to give an update.

Today I followed these steps. FRM was FA written and coded successfully. Everything works except Highbeam and fog.
When I switch on high beam, fog lights turn on, and when I switch on Fog lights, nothing happens.
Others look ok, wipers, windows.....

Is this malfunctionrelated with FRM Dflash files used for repair?

Thanks

[elthox]

Another similar case from E91 Frm3.
Bricked, repaired, vo written, factory coded....everything work except highbeams which switches on the fog lights and vice versa.

Again UIF fields empty in Inpa. And winkfp cannot flash it.
Besides sending again for repair to load the proper flash, is there any possibility to flash with expert mode in winkfp?

Did you guys try resetting the FRM to defaults? SG_Codieren will reset to factory defaults, and I believe should clear up those issues.

[elthox]

Yes as mentioned above. FA write to FRM and then SG codieren. Default coding solved most of the issues it had (side markers, parking lights, windows not working), but not Fog front lights and high beams. Tail lights look all ok.
