Is there anything that will prevent V49 datens from being used on an 08 or 09 car?

 

Did not think that was possible?

 

It is for certain model years.

 

So I'm taking the mini to a guy at Bavarian Motorworks in Vancouver WA tomorrow afternoon. He says he can mod the code in the Mini's computer so the heartbeat light starts blinking when you use the fob to lock the doors. He's never done it to a mini but has to bmws so he's pretty confident it won't be much different. If he is successful I'll be sure to post the good news so anyone else in the area can contact him to have their Mini's heartbeat brought to life.

 

From my understanding, it is doable but requires a small wire modification as well. A certain wire has to be plugged from the tach to the fuse box on the passenger side. If you look for tge alarm retrofit instructions, it tells you which plugs.

 

Nope. Guy at Bavarian Motorworks couldn't do it

 

If I recall, up until MY 2010, the wiring to the red heartbeat light was installed in all cars, with or without OEM alarm system from the factory

But with MY 2011 and on, this is no longer true. So if your car was not ordered with OEM alarm, you wouldn't be able to activate the heartbeat

 

Not true, for MY 2011 and on, as per MINI official alarm retrofit instructions, you just need to add 2 wires and activate the heartbeat through coding and it will work. You need to run wires from Plug X9002 (Plug to tach), slots11 & 12 to Plug X14272 (One of the Plugs at the interior Fuse Box), slots 23 & 11 respectively. So X9002: 11 --> X14272: 23 and X9002: 12 --> X14272. And I believe you may need to add a 7.5A fuse to F27 as well.

 

Well, you sorta proved my point. Up to 2010, all you had to do was activate it in NCSexpert. But as you said, for MY2011 and on, you need to add wires on top of that.

I was not saying it's not doable. But only activating it in NCSexpert is not enough anymore.

 

Got ya! Agreed. Sorry I misunderstood.

 

$5 part can open your car. Since Mini's have no other option to open them, is there anything that can be done? Using NCS Expert to disable remote opening might be possible but then how would you open the door?

A rock can be used also and that's free!

 

I am looking for the R56 Datens for my 2013 R57. After selecting CAS in NCSexpert, I get "The following feature is invalid for FA: $2GS"

The latest I could find was v45, but it appears there is a v49 and possibly a v50 running around.

 

I've posted 49.4 here, try a search or look at my posts, if you can't find it let me know. I'd give u a link but I'm on mobile right now.

 

Thanks Cerenkov!

 

Not sure what the issue is, but with the 49.4, I now get CHASSIS is faulty when I get the the point where it would ask me for CAS/FRM.

 

Are you selecting R56?

 

yes, that is the only option I get.

 

What versions of the programs are you using? I get all the BMW models also.

 

I got it working, except couldnt do anything with the 2rad module. from what i read I need a later ediabas, which I am downloading now.

 

Let us know if you get access to the 2RAD

 

Yeah no joy there. I was hoping to turn off the darn 100hz cutoff. It is interesting that I can see it, as my FSW_PSW.trc file gives me all the settings (even though the error message is there).

 

Has anyone got the one touch windows up on the R57 working? I've set the two fields for the doors, but it does not work.

 

I have a 2008, with Ediabas 7.3 and datens v49.4 running great on it. The only thing which is weird to me is some of the codes (especially for lights) are in the standard BMW format as seen on some other forums, and not the ones in our spreadsheet.

 

Hi guys I wanted to know if I could get some guidance here. I know that all MINI's before had option code 8KC specifying 24months or 15000 mile oil change interval. How can we change change the option code to 8KL which is the new service interval specifying the shorter oil change interval . I need cuidance in modifing the VO.
Thanks
