They stay on when I turn on the computer without cable plugged in, but when i actually connect it to the car, they sometimes stay on, but sometimes correctly show battery/ignition status. Thats why I'm thinking its a cable issue.

Help with NCS reading VIN

Hey guys. Been trying to research this error for a couple of days but I've come to the point where I can't find any answers to this error. I'm able to read my airbag in INPA but in NCS can't read my VIN. I attached the error log. Any help getting this up and running would greatly be appreciated.

So I'm getting the "wrong ECU coding index" error. Is this just from trying to use out-of-date datens?

I was coding fine until the dealer updated my software yesterday and returned everything back to stock settings. When I tried to access the NFRM to recode my car to my preferences, I got the above error. I'm thinking the module was written with new firmware or something, and that a newer datens file is required to read it. Is the fix as easy as updating the datens? Or is it something else?

I upgraded to V54, but am still getting the error. I think the latest version is V56, but I'm having a hard time finding it. Anyone have a link? Or know what else I should be trying?

Thanks.

Hey so i have a weird coding problem. I have the full coding setup (NCSExpert, inpa, wool32, winkfp) and its all working fine on my 2011 e87, but i tried to code a mates 2008 e82 yesterday and i couldn't get it to work. I get the message "VIN is faulty" when i try to read the cars VO from CAS or FRM modules.

I tried doing the airbag test in INPA, but INPA couldn't see the car as Battery: ON or Ignition: ON. I think i remember reading something about pins 7 and 8 in the OBD cable needing to be soldered together? Would this need to be done on slightly older model cars?

I double checked on my car to make sure it was working and it was. Any idea what the problem is?

I have the one stop electronics cable and am fairly good with coding things. Any help would be awesome

Faulty VIN error

Hello new here,

Been trolling the forums for the last few days, I have BMW tools 2.1.2 NCS 4.0.1, EDIABAS 7.3, and someone gave me Daten v55. I updated my Daten files using BMW coding tool v2.5 and I've tried it manually. Nothing seems to work. running the programs on win7 32bit

My car is a 2013 328i conv

Here is my last error log, may contain more than one attempt to read from CAS module.

Did you have a working system before the Daten update? Is the comm port and latency set to 1? If the cable isn't a 1 stop electronic cable wasn't verified to work before, what color is the PC board?

1. White pcb board.

2. Com is set to 1 and latency is also set to 1. obd attached... I've taken it apart and the 8 pin doesn't appear to be jumped or attached to anything?

3. I don't know if it's a "1stop" cable it's labeled "INPA compatible and K+DCAN USB interface"

I did just reproduce both errors with the cable only plugged into the computer.

Is there another test I can preform that will determine if this cable even works?

Went ahead and proactively ordered from 1stop

White PC board versions are real unreliable. You definitely don't have a cable from 1 stop. This may be your only hope to get it working.

Oh cool. The hardware id already matched. Never thought to check that...I followed the guide you linked and no joy. I did update the driver to the latest in the process. the seller already politely agreed to return the cable and I ordered a replacement from one stop. Go big or go home I guess.

Hi all, I'm getting a VIN not recognized error when I run NCS Expert. INPA works fine. I've looked for a couple solutions, but am still a little confused. What info do I need to provide so you guys might be able to help me out?

Sorry guys I didnt get an e-mail when you posted. I got the cable from the guy who had the car before me. Its a blue cable, not sure on the PCB color, I'll check in a bit. the cable doesnt have any brand on it. FTDI drivers work with it though.

Sorry, app didn't show what you were driving or I would have known you didn't have a JB4. Check your cable driver settings to make sure latency is set to 1. Also, how much can you do with INPA (read errors, UIF, etc.). Sometimes bad cables will show ign/battery dots active but not actually let you do anything.

No problem. Latency is set at 1. Looks like I can read errors in INPA, I do get errors here and there but I'm not familiar enough with it to tell if its legit, or just for something that the car doesn't have, etc. All I really need to do is code the radio to have bluetooth and SOS. i had to replace the radio this summer, and the original radio had these functions. SOS throws an error so thats most important. i'd like to change around a few other things once I get the SOS and BT fixed too.

Also, the PCB in the cable is green.

Double check to make sure you have the E89 folder in C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN. If you're just getting language variant mismatch in INPA, that's normal.

Hi guys - really hope someone can give me a clue with this one as I'm a real NCS novice.

I have retrofitted my CIC conversion tonight and went well with it turning on and radio/hdd music working straight away. Satnav lets me search and plot a course but still thinks its current location is wherever it stopped in the car it came from, so it doesn't know its current location somehow. I have fitted an emulator BTW.

Anyway, when trying to code the CIC kit in I have successfully changed my car from year 0606 to 0910 as suggested in the youtube video I followed, and added a code $6VA like it instructs to. These have saved just fine, but when I try to run Execute Job on selecting the CIC unit as per the video, I get an error, which when opened gives this data:

If someone can suggest what I've maybe done wrong I'd be really grateful indeed, thanks!

Unhappy coding not working

Hi guys, long time viewer first time posting. I have finally taken the plunge and decided to code my beloved 2008 320D M-Sport. have used Carly adaptor in past and did some neat little tricks.

Right now, the issue is permanent "Cornering lights failure" error on dash. Very annoying as it takes over time and temp. I dont even have cornering lights as I am in Australia and also have aftermarket lights. I never had this error but it came after replacing the battery at the dealership. I have been told that if I change following attributes in NFRM module it should disable the error.
CHECK_SMC_ERROR
ALC_FAHRZEUNG
ALC_KLS_ENABLE
NCSExpert is reading the module fine, changed values to nicht_activ. changed job and executed. Coding done message however when i read the module again the values are still 'activ' and error remains on dash. is there anything I am missing or not doing properly?
