NCS Expert can't read from 4 modules
 

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone has any advice about best approach for a small issue I'm having.
I am running NCS Expert to read all modules from car and will modify some. I am having issues retrieving the current coding (.TRC files) from 4 modules (RLS, SZL, SPEG & FRM).

I read on a few coding sites with NCS Expert, that it you can reset modules back to factory (there is a document from bmwcoging.com that showa how to do so properly adn NOT using the blank .MAN file, as that is not the proper way)
I can try that first, then see what custom coding I have lost, then retrieve the codes from NCS Expert (fingers crossed I do, Or I lost the custom coding in that module, for no reason) and then adjust and reload...
lets hope this works.

Are there other modules in the car that you can read/write to or are those 4 the only ones you've attempted to recode?
Can you connect to those modules with other standard tools software, like ISTA?

When coding with a blank .man file you need to make sure your profile settings are correct. There are lots of tutorials online on how to do this.

Hi Mr. Bean,
yeah I manged to pull/modify the code/upload code back to 4 other modules.
I am still researching a lot adn it seems something to do with version of daten files and the edibas.bin.ini file... I'm gonna read more, but I just find it weird that SOME modules can be read, in NCS Expert and re-coded adn some can't.

as for using Rheingold or INPA, those softwares can read/access ALL modules, thankfully. So that makes me lean towards daten files...

the can us running fine, but I just wanted to customise, and am surprised I'[mm getting these errors.
I've never seen these errors on my e53 or e31 (very limited code changing options on e31)

Just for info, in case of damaged FRM due to battery disconnect, can restaure easy to factory , no need NCS Expert,loook at video.

thanks very much for the video, but I dont have that software to do that modification.
