I had similar symptoms (ignition and battery not showing correctly, light on cable not on) when I upgraded to Windows 10 and when I went back to Windows 7 everything works great.

I've install the drivers and the software following the steps in the guide and everything looks fine until connecting to the car. At first when I connect it the red light on the cable itself comes on and when I try INPA it says the ignition is off although it's on on the car. Then couple of minutes later the light on the cable goes off and when trying INPA again it reads battery and ignition just fine. But then NCS is giving me a faulty VIN error.

Any ideas? Is it the cable or something I'm doing wrong with the installation ?
By the way anyone one in North Atlanta area done some coding ?

Includes R56 DATENS v58.1, Far easier setup and installs fine on Win7 64bit under a VM on a Mac. I am able to get the correct connection via INPA now.

The cable was working a year ago but the laptop and NCSExpert install I was using are long gong. The car was flashed about six months ago at the dealership.



I am however getting the "VIN Invalid" error when trying to read the VIN in NCSExpert. The INPA screen looks fine. I've tried different COM ports and updated the INI file each time.

Enviromental:
MINI: USA 2012 CMS (Canadian R60s will need to have their VO changed to reflect a USA version - thanks strobey-probey!)
Build Date: Nov 7, 2011
Headlamps: Xenon
Datens: V46. Those with newer datens should be ok as the settings listed below should be present in your FRM module's FSW_PSW.TRC file. I'm not sure whether these settings will be the same in pre-V46 datens, but most likely so.
Misc: Must have working cable and (preferably) NCSExpert programming experience. These instructions assume that you know how to successfully code your R60 with NCSExpert.

Requirements/suggestions before beginning:
1. The DRL option should be activated in the BC;
2. The headlamp setting should be set to "off" for programming, but then you can set it to "Auto" afterwards;
3. Fully read this post before beginning;
4. Plan and document your work (OCD Club Members Unite!).
5. Post if this works for you!

FRM Settings:
VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL_3R drl_s // This setting turns-off the low beam headlamps.
Note: after this setting was made, wheel arch lights, rear taillights and license plate light were still on.

DRL_TFL_MIT_KZL nicht_aktiv // This setting turns-off the license plate lights.
Note: after this setting was made, license plate lights were turned-off but taillights were still on. In fact, the lower taillight in each lens glowed brightly at brake light intensity, the upper taillights were at normal intensity, however. Odd.

DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_1 nicht_aktiv // These settings turned-off the left and right wheel arch lights and
DRL_TFL_MIT_SL_2 nicht_aktiv // lower taillights.
Note: After this setting was made, the upper taillights were still on. According to NCSDummy, the "SL" means "standing lights", so the bright lower taillights may be in standing light mode.

DRL_TFL_MIT_BL nicht_aktiv // This setting turned-off the the upper taillights.

And, finally…

DRL_TFL_MIT_SML_3R aktiv // This setting turned-on the city lights!

Other stuff:
- I made these changes one-by-one. After each change, I exited NCSExpert and turned-off the R60. Then I turned the R60 back on and checked the status of the lights to make sure that the desired effect had been achieved. I suspect that all these edits could be made and programmed in one step, but I thought that I'd just let you know the way in which I did them.

- I never had to touch the companion settings in the CAS module.

- Today I tested the function of the lights in "Auto" mode as they switched between DRL illumination and night illumination. Perfect!

Have fun...

That being said. I want to try a few of these setting

Windows Up with Key Fob, will this work if you don't have a sunroof?

Passenger Mirror tilt when car is in reverse

Setting the Shift Points in AT to shift sooner

Auto Windows up when the door is open

Unlock car when car is off or when key fob is removed

Speedo Correction. It seems my speedometer will say 60mph but in actuallity (Via 2 different GPS Systems) it is actually 57mph (

The only issue I had was, when start the process, I have to shut my iPhone off and back on, so it pairs with the Carly dongle.

I have the Carly APP and Carly Dongle, no wires, works off of WiFi
