You should be fine. But most would recommend to use the latest which is 50.2.

 

so where to find the latest 50.2 datan?

 

About 7 posts up.

 

which welcome light codes enable the welcome lights at all times without the use of the headlight switch?

 

First of all Thanks for the thread i have been able to program my car with the 49 datens.

My question is what is in the DATEN that i need to upgrade or why would i need to upgrade my daten files when I can program with a lower version daten.

Thanks again for the information. Now i am going to move on to my e70(Anyone know where i could find those datens )

 

You only need to use later Datens when your car is upgraded to that new level of software.

If you were to have you car programmed with the latest version, a v49 Daten set would no longer properly interact with your vehicle.

This is why we try so hard to keep current with these, even being as hard as it is.

 

OT, but which version / how long ago was it at the dealership?

I might be able to help.

 

Just got my car back from the dealership to fix an issue with my power windows and it looks like they put a newer version of the software on my 2011 CM. All my NCS Expert mods are gone and my display in my tach now no longer shows the trip odometer all the time like it used to, like the newer CMs.

So I hop in, plug the laptop in to redo everything and I get a "chassis is faulty" message. I try to update the datens to the 50.2 on this thread and still no joy. I reinstall the software, and start from scratch and still get the "chassis is faulty" message.

It's driving me nuts, because all these little things I've coded out years ago are now all bothering me again (bulb warnings, pass airbag warnings, when i put my phone on the seat, all my doors not unlocking when the ignition is off...)

Any ideas? I didn't have a problem coding it before... I feel like it's gotta be something simple I'm missing.

 

Might just be a new version in the stream. I'll take a look and see.

 

51.3 is in the stream, but let me see what the latest Rxx update brings us to. Hang tight.

 

I was wrong...

If this was in the last week, you have 51.2 on there now, which incorporates the new F56, as well.

This could take a bit, but I'll start working on getting that now.

Edit: Almost done.

...

 

Here we go!

51.2 Datens here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6o...-Daten_R56.zip

 

You are scholar and a gentleman

Off to the garage to see if I have better luck! I'll let you know!

 

Thanks Theta!

 

Still getting "Chassis is faulty"

Copied new datens, ran laden.bat...INPA shows a connection..Not sure what else I'm missing...

 

Now that's discouraging... When did you get it back from the dealer again? Just in the last few days?

I'm still showing 51.2 as the very latest push on Rxx MINI.

 

Got it back a week ago.

If it's not the datens, not sure what else it could be...

 

There's some new stuff in the pipe, but I can't imagine that's trickled down to MINI yet... as far as I know, it's still limited to only a few BMW chassis codes.

I'll keep searching for you. Keep trying just in case it's something else.

 

There hasn't been any procedural changes to the guide for setting this all up for R60 coding has there? Just newer datens?

I tried going back to different datens too, just to see if I could read a module (41, 45, etc.) with no luck.

 

Correct - no changes save for Daten versions. BMW Tools, etc. are the same 2.12.

 

When you did a clean install, did you install the previous datens first and then the newer ones or did you just install the newer datens?

 

I cleared the daten folder before I copied the new datens.

Got it working though. Did a actual uninstall, restart, install instead of just reinstalling NCS Expert and that seemed to do the trick. 45 mins later and all my settings are back! Even a few new ones

The only thing I can't figure out how to change is on the tach display, below where the speed readout is, it used to show the odometer AND the trip counter at the same time, but with the new software, all I get is the odometer and a bunch of blank space. Is there a way to revert back to the old layout?

 

I believe it's this one.

Lock Speed To Center Tach Display
DIG_SPEED_PERMANENT
aktiv -- (set nicht_aktiv for TIME / TEMP as with older models)

 

No, that changes the upper display to show time/temp instead of speed. I think WIPER_STAT_DISP is the setting to bring back the trip odo. (But lose the auto wiper indicator)

 

Hmmm, try it out and let me know, I wouldn't mind that. Although, I do have to admit, the old way of showing the auto wipers were on was confusing.
