Fascinating! That's exactly the structure/process I use! This is possibly due to sharing a coding background???

In addition, I maintain a single change log file divided into modules and, within modules, setting changes by date, and any relevant comments :

This change log has been handy for tracking down the effects of changes as I am experimenting with settings. I could write all of this down, but then I'd probably lose the notebook!

I guess I'm just one of those folks who is forever trying to put the letters in the acronym "OCD" into its proper alphabetic order!

 

HAHAHAHA - Love it!

 

Thanks Again, another car in China coded. with the cable information from here, and my help on software installation, daten copying. R60 produced in April 2012.

 

Glad to hear it. These Datens should be good for a while - they're working on everything produced up through week 50 2012 so far.

Looks like you are very good at lights coding.
Could you please let me know where I can code DRL and dynamic brake light,
It seems like mine was disabled.
I found from vin decoder

S5AHA
Decodierung dynamische Bremsleuchte Decoding, dynamic brake lights

S8S1A
Decodierung Tagfahrleuchten Decoding, daytime running lamps

Thanks, it would be very interesting not not to all models.
Anyone's inputs are appreciated.

Regards,

 

Dynamic Brake Lights which I think are referred to as Brake Force Display (BFD) in BMW world, is coding that allows the rear fogs to illuminate when you brake. I've tried coding this line on a mini (with rear fogs), but it didn't work. However, I didn't check the VO to see if $5AH was in there. Try adding that option to your VO and then reset the IHKA and FRM modules.

Also, regarding DRL's, look in the FRM module and see if you can change one of the DRL options from nicht_aktiv to aktiv.

 

Hello experts,

1. I thought I saw a post for a code to deactivate ac "on" when auto button is pushed but can't seem to find it. - found it in R56 NCSExpert forum.

2. Awhile ago I've asked about tech display change after my dealer updated the software - post number 184. Any updates?

3. While I was retrieving/saving my original modules, I got an "COAPI-2020:no answers from ECU, IFH-0009:ECU not connected or doesn't answer" error message with DSC file. Obviously a connection error but, FSW_PSW.TRC was filled with info. Rest of the readings went without error (2RAD, 4BMOT, ABG etc). - Do I even need this module?

4. Want to activate weatherband_radio in CHAMP module but I don't seem to have the module. Is the module only available for connect/nav CM? I don't have connect/nav feature...

Sorry for the constant editing.....trying to learning new things....

Thanks in advance.

Steven

 

Is there anything else I need to get this working? I have both of these coded so far.

Opening Door Does Not Stop Window Roll-Up (60 Seconds)
FH_ABSCHALTKRITERIUM
nicht_aktiv

Windows DO NOT Stop Rolling Up When Door Opened
FH_TUERAUF_STOP_MAUT_3R
nicht_aktiv

 

Set turning light to 7 flashes.
Refer to BMW coding, I made 7 Flashes instead of 3 for Mini R60 successfully.
1 Set turning light to 1 flash, read FRM module, rename nettodat.trc to nettodat1.trc in work folder
2 set it to 3 flashes, read FRM again, copy nettodat.trc as nettodat3.trc
3 compare nettodat1 and nettodat3, line starting with B 00341500 has different values, as
1 flash: B 00341500,0010,28,04,28,04,28,04,3C,04,28,04,28,04,00,00,00,00
3 flash: B 00341500,0010,28,04,28,04,28,04,3C,0C,28,04,28,04,00,00,00,00
04 = 1 flash and 0C=3 flash, so 1C=7 flash
4 edit nettodat.trc, replace 0C with 1C, save it as nettodat.man
5 in NCS, nevigate to read FRM if you had closed it. Press F5 basic functions, select coapiCodeSgByNettoData, in the pop window, input nettodat.man as parameter of nettodatenliste then click OK
6 wait to a small window pop up with information "basic function perfect ended"

It is said if you set flash times again, you will lost the changed value.
Enjoy it.

 

Hi,

got my cable today and installed the software.

When I try to read the ECU (no matter which) I got the following error message:

 

MBj, update your daten files.

 

I'm using already V4.82 of Daten.
Is there a newer version available?

 

Ensure you have updated them properly. That error looks like a file error not a cable error.

 

Maybe you did not install / copy daten rightly.

 

I have done exactly what is written in the docu:

Part IV: Datens
1. Inside the “Datens (v41)” folder is an R60 zip file containing the v41 Datens.
2. Extract it to a temporary folder. The archive will contain 3 sub-folders. You will need to copy/paste the files in these sub-folders accordingly:
● All files in “daten” → C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\R56 (We will still use R56 for the Countryman / R60 chassis code)
● All files in “sgdat” → C:\NCSEXPER\SGDAT
● All files in “ecu” → C:\EDIABAS\ECU
Do not copy the folders themselves, only the files inside them. Choose “Copy and Replace” to resolve conflicts.
3. Navigate to “C:\NCSEXPER\DATEN\R56 ” and run the “LADEN.BAT” file.
4. Finally, copy “REVTOR.PFL” from the “Profile” folder in your working directory into “C:\NCSEXPER\PFL”.

 

Did you follow these instructions on the 48.2 set after doing so for the first round?

 

Not sure what you mean?


I installed the BMW software and then copied the files of the Daten archive in the folders as written in the doc.

 

Right - I'm assuming you did this with the v41s.

Did you go back with the new v48.2 package and do the same thing over again to overwrite the datens?

 

Had no installation before, so started direct with v48.2

There where no R56 folder inside Daten, so I create one.


Do I have to install v41 first? Should I go back?

 

Yes, you need to follow the original instructions fully to install everything first.

The new daten packs are updates to the base install. Remember to run LADEN.bat when installing the v48.2 update.

 

Thanks.

Will give it and try.

 

Thanks a lot, now it is working (with Daten v41)

I already changed the welcome lights to fog light and turned off the license plate lights (as welcome).

I tried to activate the Sunroof rain sensor, but now have a error message when starting the engine that "sunroof pintch is disable and I should go to a dealer"

Will try this weekend to activate the fog lights as DLR and to activate mirror folding while closing the car.

Also "Bordsteinautomatik" I found in the list, which should turn the mirror down, when put in reverse gear. Unfortinatly it is not working on my CM.

 

You may need initialize sunroof, ignition, push foreword to first point and hold it without release. Sunroof is supposed to fully open and then fully closed. About 30 seconds. Release and you should be ok.

 

Worked perfect! Thanks a lot!

Attached is the list of coding I have tried so far.

Can somebody tell me please what exactly the CHAMP module is?
I got a error while reading, but got an trace file.
In this file I have a lot of entrys of the oder modules like ASP_KOMFORT_EINKLAPP which is also in the FRM.

 

Glad to hear you got it working. It sounds like you're using the v41 Datens. You may find better compatibility with different options by upgrading to the v48.2 Datens.

Also, keep in mind that EU-spec cars will code differently from the US-spec cars, as previously mentioned here.
