I manually copied the new files from the E89 directory (and overwrote the old ones) to what I am quite certain were the correct directories and then started having the winkfp errors in the attached pictures and error log below. I then copied the original daten files (I believe v43), which worked, backed to those directories hoping that would fix things. It unfortunately didn't. I then tried updating the daten files and winkfp (to v55) using the BMW coding tool and that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Here is the error log:

You copied the files manually?

You are suppose to use the import function in WinKFP.

Look here: http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...4#post21164324

Personally, I did not have to worry about step 9

Good god, use the BMW coding tool. It's a one click process to update your SP daten and WinKfP

[AWDBooSTIn90]

I'm having this exact same problem. asll the same errors except i have an additional error:
"error 996005

I succefully did "update sp-daten" & "update winfkp" on BMW Coding Tool.

Everything in INPA works great on my E92. I can access every ECU. Read error memory see cars UIF.

Everything in NCSEXPERT works fine. I've read every ecu to see what could be changed and i coded every ecu setting to defaults and alsoo did the popular coding with NCSEXPERT, no problems.

Basically i retrofitted CCC to non-idrive car. worked fine for a year. I properly changed the VO and coded the car. Everything works fine. I did CCC because i got it veryy cheap and its easier to do in the beginning. Then i will eventually decide to upgraded to NBT or CIC. I installed the video cable for both systems so its there when im ready and then change a connector housing. but anyway, i went into INPA and did the UIF fucntion for the whole car and all the CCC stuff had yyyyyyy for the VIN #.

All i wanted to do was fix that and make it right, i read a way to do it with TOOL32. it kept saying job successful for all the different ecu's that needed the VIN# added starting with the main CCC.PRG'S.

Check INPA whole car UIF, no change. Then i read a guide on how to do it with WINKFP. And ive always wanted to learn how to use the program so i could update any ECU's in the future. BUT i cant even start the damn program.

Anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences? Tips? Solutions?

Check this. Navigate to C:\E89\data\gdaten, right click, properties, uncheck read only, ok, ok. Go back and update WinKFP again with the coding tool and see if that makes a difference.

Are you using a DCAN cable?

You do not want to flash the CCC module over DCAN. It will take hours and you will most likely brick the CCC unit. You need an ICOM diagnostic head to flash the CCC module.

Yes I'm using a K/D-Can cable. Ive been using successfully for years. I've used WinKFP in the past for the Alpina Flash a few times. I don't really need to update my CCC or need to i think. I know it takes too long to do over a d-can cable and that makes it risky

I just want to fix the fact that the UIF info screen in INPA has the correct vin# for all my other ecu's(my vin), but the CCC and the internal ecu's (CHOST, CGATE, CID, ANT, etc...), I retrofitted about last year has no vin just 7 y's (vin#- yyyyyyy).

Now everything works fine. Idk if i said that yet. But audio was fine as soon as i coded it properly, after installing and finishing the retrofit (non-iDrive to CCC iDrive).
I Enabled AUX. Disabled Warning screen on start-up, etc). Navigation works great. Picks up location right away. Ive tested it a few times and its fast for what it is and is very accurate.

Now i did have a problem in the beginning of finishing up the retrofit and putting everything back together like the interior and the trim pieces. Basically i had to buy and use an external Fakra antenna. Its marketed for BMW CCC, CIC, NBT iDrive systems, as the gps antenna if the old one goes bad or to "upgrade" they say. Its supposedly faster and more accurate than OEM. Looking back now, that is absolutely true.
However i wanted to stick all OEM with my retrofit because all the other aspects of the retrofit were done as if it came like that.. Wiring connections, harnesses, connectors, coding, etc). So what i did was buy a 5-6' Fakra extension cable. At first i just ran the wire from the head-unit(laying in ) and ran the extension cable to the trunk by simply folding the back seats down and connected both ends properly, (temporarily checking the setup). Now this was before i bought the standalone Fakra gps antenna , bc i planned to stay with how OEM wwkould be and just didn't expect there to be a problem because its been done many times before, exactly like how i described it.
wk
With the extension cable plugged in. I took it for a test drive, took about 10 mins to move the map from its last place to mt current location, but once it picked up my location and showed altitude, the navi worked. So i figured ok, time to run the cable permanently from the trunk to the head unit. Did that, made sure i ran it along with a factory wire harness that w as heading to the dash. That way it woud, not get pinched or damaged. Put it all back together and it worked the one time i went for the test drive and then next time i go drive my car, it never could get my location and altitude. Never worked again. I didn't change or move anything either

So i tried a few different things, couldn't get it to work. Figured id buy the external gps antenna and test it then. Worked perfectly right away. So i just connected that and mounted it. Been using it like that for about a year now, its super accurate and is instant on start ups.


Back on topic, i looked up ways to write the VIN# to the CCC and actually the FRM is also an ECU missing its VIN. One way was to use TOOL32. Which i did, you needed to use the vin # with the checksum(?) included. So according to the guide you copy the vin # you get from NCSEXPERT you pull from the CAS. So i copy's that and then just pasted it in TOOL32 and did the steps for the 2 commands needed per ecu. All jobs went thru successfully. So i finish and i go back to INPA re-open it and check the vehicle's UIF page. No change, no progress made. All vin's are still yyyyyyyy, that were previously the same.

So i google a little bit and it says there's a way to write the VIN# using WinKFP. I go to open it and now it wont open and those^^^ are the errors I'm getting.

So whats wrong with my WinKFP that I can't open it & How do I write the VIN# from my car to these ECU's that are used from another car and installed in my car now?

[matteblue3er]

Well VIN is not that important for CCC.

If it was a drivetrain module (DSC, DME, CAS, etc) you may have issues.

Have you tried writing VIN with NCS? Job is FNGR_Schriben or something like that.

No i havent tried anything in NCS to try and fix this porblem. i didnt know there was a job in NCS to do this honestly.

FNGR_Schriben, besides the possible spelling your saying is def the correct job?

i know it prob doesnt matter, but i want to fix it. i like to learn and im sure knowing how to do this will help me in the future in some way.

Besides the CCC unit and its internal ECU's not showing the VIN, strangely my FRM is also having the same problem, VIN # showing yyyyyyy. So i want to fix that as well. But as far as i know the FRM is the original footwell module for the car and is not an upgraded newer FRM2 or FRM3. Which is odd. What would make the FRM lose its vin#? i would like to upgrade to a FRM2/3 in the future for more coding options when i get the LCI E92 tail lights and maybe one day an LCI E92 front end...

I just checked and i dont have an E89 folder directory under my main drive (C:\). All i have is the usual EC-APPS, NCSEXPER, EDIABAS, Windows, etc..


I have copied my daten's file (v50.2) E89 directory to the main C drive and will make that the source for my daten files for the bmw standard tools from now on. i will try what you suggested after im all done and re-update winfpk with bmw coding tool and try to launch winfpk again.

Now i code my E92 and my bro E60. Should i also copy the E60 folder into the C drive main menu? How about all the other EXX platform daten files i have? I downloaded a full Daten v50.2 file for every BMW Exx chassis because i figured its hard to find reputable sources for these things (daten files, program files), and why not lol. Maybe ill need to code an X5 one day...

I keep mine all on the C drive. I can give you a link to the latest daten 57.0 if you want to update.

Tried this.. turns out it was filled in as a full square meaning its read-only, but not fully checked i think..

Anyway, i unchecked it. Updated WinKFP with BMW CodiNG Tool. Still same errors...

im running out of things to try. the thing that kills me is that i know ive used this program before on my coding laptop and now i cant even start the program...

The way you have your setup structured, is the normal way. The E89 folder should be in the Daten folder within the NCS directory.

Have you tried manually updating the files in WinKFP? Like I originally suggested....


From those errors, it's clear your have missing or corrupted files in the locations listed within the errors.

The Exx folder gets pulled in the NCS Directory with the coding tool. There's no need to manually place in there.

[AWDBooSTIn90]

I just uninstalled everything. Moved all my old files into a backup folder. I've had this coding laptop setup for like 2 years now. Learned how to install and learned how to use the programs on this and im sure some things arent in the right places anymore after messing around with it all the time. So now i know how to install the programs, the special setting that need to be made, and how to use the programs right the first time. Well except for WinKFP since ive only had to use it once...

I got all new files from LMB335IS for BMW coding tools 2.50 and the newest Daten files v57 I believe. So thank you for that! I coming from v50.2. So i should be good now. I doubt BMW will make many more updates for these cars.

So im going to re-install everything. Update the programs with the new Daten files using the BMW coding tool. And hope that after all this work theres no problems lol.

So one question i have is where should i keep my daten files. Like when i click for SP-Daten source on BMW coding tool I go to where i have the Daten source stored on my computer, but does it need to be in certain directory as far as where i put the newly downloaded Daten files? Right now its in my downloads folder because it was downloaded off a website. Is that ok?

Appreciate all the help!!

As far as i know, ive successfully manually updated as well. I tired that after nothing changed when i updated everything on my first attempt at fixing this problem, with the bmw coding tool. So neither method changed anything..

I tried the wordpad fix i found on google. No change either.

I do this. It's simple and easy to find. When you update with the Coding tool it will create a daten folder inside NCSEXPER for you. I've also created a separate folder on my C drive, I call it "car files" where I keep dynos, logs, pdfs, all the daten zips, basically originals of all my car stuff. That way everything is easy to find should I need to reference or reinstall something.

I wasn't saying your setup is wrong or anything. Just that it's not structured the way it normally is, untouched from using the 2.12 installer.

EDIT: Ignore my statement. I was confusing your post with someone elses.

The location of your update files does not matter. You could have them on a portable USB drive and set the path in the BMW Coding Tool and it would work just fine. Downloads folder is fine.

The Coding Tool will extract the data from those update files and copy them into their respective directories.

Once that's done, there is no need to keep the update files. They will essentially be stored as redundant data and the programs you use do not point to the update file directories; they point to the directories those update files were copied too.

Make sure you set the paths for the NCS, Ebiabas, and WinKFP folders correctly. Otherwise, updating the files with this tool will not work.

WinKFP uses the NFS folder to pull assmebly line data. It's typically in the X:\EC-APPS\NFS folder. X being your install drive, which for most people is the C drive.

I have my coding laptop setup on 2 different hard drives. I keep programs on 1 drive, C. And all data on a separate drive, R. This allows be swap out the R drive for different chassis. That way I don't need to reload assembly line data every time I need to work on a different chassis. I just swap my R drive and load the programs.

i figured that how it worked regarding the daten and the coding tool update process.

you know what, i think i figured out why i was having problems. i was trying to use my e90 daten files and my e60 daten files at the same time. i would update both sp-daten and update winkfp with the coding tool using the e90 daten folder. then right after do the same with my e60 daten files.

i figured they were different cars and used completely different daten files.

so with that logic, i thought that, when say i open winkfp and im connected to the e60 and just say i want to update the LMA ecu, winkfp would find the proper daten file from the folder matching the e60's lma module and just do what it has to do. Update the ecu.

then close the programs. hop in the e90. open winkfp, click FRM moduel to update, it pulls the proper ecu file from the main folder, go thru the steps, and update the ecu.

that being said, was i wrong to assume it can be that easy between different chassis's?

i do 95% of my coding on the e90, its my car. like i said before the e60 is my brothers car.

now ive had no problem using INPA and NCSExpert using the above method i described... it always connected no problem. INPA would read any ecu from both cars, rear error memory, show current values - analog/digital.

i could code anything i wanted in both cars. i added aux, digital speedo, key fob window close, idrive warning screen delete, bulb checks, all done to his car, right after i did coding on my e90. basic coding i know, but it worked fine.

Anyway, i just installed all the programs, bmw standard tools, the wedge coding package - very convenient program actually. just need to finish with the daten files. now i dont want to make the same mistake if they cant be mixed. im going to ONLY install everything, as if i only wanted to code an E90 chassis. so ill see how it goes.. But was i making a mistake mixing the E90(E89) AND E60 Daten files with the BMW Coding Tool update process.
