E91 outter taillights won't work after frm to frm3 change

Hello, so I have a little problem. I changed my frm1 to frm3, changed vin, vo. But the outter taillights dont work, the ones on trunk work, but the ones on corners don't. Also when I try to code new options with ncsexpert it throws me coapi 1043 error, if I don't change anything and just code, it works. Any clues to what's wrong?

I read on forums that e87 need to swap a few pins for the taillights to work, but no mention about e90/91

I have E91 2005 pre lci, fitted lci taillights about a year ago

The cars date of manufacture needs to be changed in the FRM as well. Did you do that?

I changed date in vo to 03/10, then coded that vo to nfrm from cas

Also, to add some clarification, everything except parking lights work on the rear lights. Turn signals, brake lights everything works. Also when I open the trunk, first stage of brake lights light up, so I guess frm knows the park lights dont work, but there are no error codes

Sorry for bumping this thread. Maybe there is anyone who would like to connect remotely and try to solve this problem? Cause I'm out of codding wisdom on how to fix the taillights

Another bump.

So i've been digging thru all the forums, and maybe my spdaten files are wrong? I'm using v68 to flash the frm and code it, but maybe the files are incomplete or too new (if that even makes sense...) I'm willing to pay for someone to remotely connect and try to reflash the module and code it to default settings, cause I have not found another person with the same problem...

There's really not much to the coding other than turning off the bulb monitors to not trigger dash warning. You'll definitely need to do wiring as it's not the same pre lci vs lci. E90 requires harness or repinning connector and I assume e91 uses the exact same harness as e90. I'm sure you can find a walkthrough on the wiring for e90 on these forums, just follow that
