Footwell control module

kil2002 · 08-16-2012, 12:19 PM

Hi

I have a 2005 e91 320d. I have aftermarket Hids fitted which are bringing up errors on the I drive. I connected a halogen bulb and the error still showed up. I took it to a garage who said I need a replacement footwell module.

The questions I have is do I need a new one or can I use a second hand one which I can code to my car. I've been told to get one with frm2 so I can code to get rid of the head light failure errors. What year car will the frm2 come on?

Many thanks for any help.

Ahmed.

You can try to reset your frm. There is very good post if you search and saves some money.

First try to delete errors using INPA or DIS, than code out low beams bulb check , there is really no need to replace FRM unless you want welcome lights additional funcion
