Mine is on windows 10. 64 bit.

 

Did you install the version linked at the beginning of this thread? Or another version? We can private message or some other thing to avoid spamming everyone, I will post whatever works when I get it to

 

Oh - You have exceeded your private message storage quota hahaha

 

Lol. Let me empty it. To answer your question. No I use a different one.

 

When I do remote install. I downloaded
Inpa
Ncs expert
Ncs expert for dummy
Win kfp
Updated daten files

 

The problem is there are many different versions of this. I'm trying to find a set that works with my R53 2005 MCS. His above link does not work and the updated version I had from bcables installer does not work, though it connects just says invalid VIN. Common error.

What versions did you install? And what profile did you use in NCS Expert

 

The issue is when some folks install inpa. They are missing mini cooper r50/r53 option to select. You have to go I to configdat file an do some messing around to add this to your options.
With ncs expert I use revtor.

 

Interesting, I never saw that option. I sent you message to avoid spamming this thread until I resolve this

 

If anyone needs help installing inpa an ncs expert. Type here. Or try to send me a message, lol.

 

Yea Shrevemini was a real help, I cannot reproduce what he did fully on here. He needs to write a guide

That being said, now I'm getting CHASSIS is faulty when select F3 in NCS expert, hmm?

 

chassis fault?
hmm let me look into it for you.

 

Yea if I click F3 after loading profile and clicking F1, then it says Chassis if Faulty. If I click OK then click F3 again it says

ZCS-ECU Error:
COAPI-1020: Datei konnte nicht zum Lesen geoeffnet werden C:\NCSexper\daten\r50\r50sgfam.dat

German clues?

 

File could not be opened for reading. There is no R50 folder there at all, do I need to add it from the first post or do you have a more updated set?

 

I copied the r50 Daten files / folder into that directory and getting the good ole vin is faulty message. These were the files from the top of this thread

 

Ok, crazy software. It gave that error. I exited and tried again I think it read it. Gave some other message let me mess with it some more

 

Any luck?

 

I got it! I had a typo in the .man file. I will mess with this some more thank you so much! Where is the NETTODAT.TRC file the guide says to save? Don't see that one

 

It been a while since I messed with ncs expert. I would search YouTube. That's where I figured out how to screw around in ncs expert.

 

Gosh I hate youtube it's so slow. I love forums because can skim and glance around. I'll see what I can find thanks.

This would take some time to test but couldn't you just copy all the folders/programs directly onto another win10 laptop to have all the correct files for this to work? I think that BMW coding tools program you used just updated these files. I'm sure it's more complex than that but perhaps not. Just an idea

 

Correct it is used to update the files. Just makes it much easier than farting around in each folder trying to figure out where everything goes 🤔.

 

I don't understand how to get the NETTODAT.TRC file created. I created NETTODAT.MAN and it still didn't appear when I read the FSW_PSW_TRC. I've been googling around having had much luck, anyone know how to do this? Like always most forums just assume you know how to get it already or have it. I just want to back it up for the BC1 module as instructed in the writeup

 

Everywhere I see just says read the module you want and NETTODAT.TRC is created. It is NOT in my case.

 

Try watching this vid

 

Wow that has a wealth of info. I looked at the the part about reading he uses execute job instead of read ECU. I will try that tomorrow, weak human needs sleep . Thank you for all the help

 

No problem.
