Coding FRM2 and Bulb Checks

So I have a 2011 R56 and I've been working for 4+ months to get my coding working, it turned out to be a bad (not wrong, it was malfunctioning) cable. one-stop sent me a new cable and I've been able to perfectly code many features.

I'm using datens V40 and I can not see the FRM2 module, only FRM. Is this supposed to be a seperate module or is it contained in the FRM module? Would a different datens set allow me to see it? I've tried V38 with the same results.

A few other things I can't get working:

-Fogs on with High beams
I changed the setting in the FRM module but not in the FRM2 module. I don't get any errors or anything, the car takes the code just fine but the feature does not work.

-Alarm heartbeat light
I guess the 2011's aren't wired for this anymore . Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know if the wiring can be added? The car takes the code just fine but the light doesn't light.

-Anything in the FRM2 module
Like I said above, FRM2 does not show up, only FRM.

-Disable front fog bulb check
I don't see the line I need to change for this to be disabled. I replaced my front fogs with LED bulbs and have bulb out warnings. I'd love to get rid of the warnings without installing resistors. Does anyone know what the lines need to be changed for these?

-Comfort folding mirrors
I see this as a perspective option many places but I can't find anyone who has tried it or has it working. Has anyone tried this?

Can anyone help me out

I figured out the fog lights, fogs with high beams, maybe alarm light, and maybe the FRM2 module.

Fog bulb check:
Change the following in the FRM module to niche_aktiv

KALTUE_NSW_M2_37_M1_3_C33
WARMUE_NSW_M2_37_M1_3_C33


Fogs with high beams:
In the FRM module. My instructions had a misspelling in them so the car wasn't reading it correctly.


Alarm Light
I think I confirmed my suspicion that the tach light isn't wired anymore in the 2011+ :( I have the code enabled just fine. I tested locking the doors with the windows down, waiting 20 seconds, then opening the door from the inside. All of the lights started to blink like they're supposed to, which leads me to believe that the car took the code and knows it's supposed to be blinking the tach light but can't because the wiring isn't there

FRM vs FRM2:
It appears to be the same thing, at least in the 2011's. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me!



I'd still like help with the comfort folding mirrors please!

You're correct about the heart beat alarm light. It was discussed in the past. 2011's are not wired for it.

Ok, that sucks :(

Does anyone have any idea if the wiring can be added?
