Purpose: write/code VIN after FRM2 updateCar: 330d 2006Tool: emulatorSoftware: NCS expert, Tool32, WinKFPTutorial: Upgraded to FRM2 – how do i code it?The basic steps are:1. Install FRM22. Change FRM2 VIN to yours.
Flash FRM2 with comfort mode with your VIN. Or use Tool32 to change VIN as above.2.5. Verify VIN change with Tool32.3. Copy CAS VO (FA) to FRM with NCSexpert.4. Change date with NCSexpert.5. Code to default with NCSexpert.Exact instructions for each step are discussed and available in the following parts.It’s very simple.1.
Open Tool322. Plug in cable3. Press F3 and choose the FRM87.prg or whatever FRM you have (see from INPA uif)4.Select job cfgschrieben5. Enter your FULL VIN (including checksum) into arguments field6. Execute jobYou can check the VIN using job ‘cfglesen’Once done use NCS EXPERT to copy your CAS FA string to FRM / change date then code to default with expertmode.Btw, when you enter your VIN you must use FULL VIN.
Which is VIN number with a checksum at the end. You can see you full VIN in when you do any coding.Note: Step 2 means you won’t need to use Tool32 at WinKFP can set VIN alsoThe basic steps:1) Remove FRM, install FRM2.2) Use WinKFP to program the module, make sure to enter your VIN-number before programming.3) Switch to NCS-EXPERT. Get your Vehicle Order from the CAS module (as we are unsure of what the FRM2 module contains.4) Write the Vehicle Order to module “FRM” using job “FAWRITE”5) Go back to the main menu (or restart ncs-expert) and get the vehicle order from the “NFRM” module.
Make sure NFRM returns YOUR VIN and YOUR VO. We want the VIN (FG) and VO (FA) to be the same in both CAS and NFRM.6) You now need to do the trick described by 4711 a couple of posts back, i.e. Change the production date in the VO to at least #0307.
If you don’t do this, ncs-expert will not list NFRM (=FRM2) in the “Process ECU”-list and you won’t be able to code it. Change the VO using the “Enter FA” option – remove your production date and enter #0307 (meaning march 2007).7) Now click “Process ECU” and select “NFRM”Then just code to default with expert mode.Reference: Youtube video – E90 VIN change with NCS Expert.
Hello all,I have a 2002 BMW 530i. Straight to the point, I replaced my faulty gauge cluster with one from a 2001 BMW 540i.
Ios 5.0.2
The ONLY thing I am focusing on is changing the VIN in the LCM with NCS Expert. I have the full suite of software minus PA Soft 1.4.0 (with the cable), which means I have INPA/EDIABAS, NCS Expert, WinKFP, Progman/SSS, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting.I'm having a hard time finding threads that say specifically how to recode the VIN in the replacement cluster to remove the tamper dot (actual step-by-step instructions that leave nothing out). Just when I think I found a viable thread, it carries on with instructions on how to do something else, or are vague and not really the actual answer.Would someone be able to point me in the right direction so that I could get this taken care of by the weekend? I'm still going to order PA Soft 1.4.0 with the cable but it'll take over a week to get to me and I want to get this done ASAP.
Plus, I was told NCS Expert can let me change the VIN to remove the dot.Side note: I read on a few threads that WinKFP can also do it but I always get a blank ECU family in the list and there's not many instructions I could find on how to populate that list. Even directions on 'go to this folder' does not work at all, so trying to just keep it to NCS Expert for now. You can issue the FGNR SCHREIBEN command to write the VIN in NCS Expert, but you will get an error. The VIN and mileage addresses of the EEPROM are write protected. People see the options to change the VIN and mileage in PA Soft or NCS and assume that it can be done. It will work on a blank EEPROM, but not one that has already been written.I'm guessing the ones who had success were the ones who owned Pre-'02 cars.
However, the cluster is from an '01 (09/00) 540i, so is it the year of the whole car itself or the cluster that affects that? You should be able to re-write the VIN, that part of the chip isn't protected, but you would need a suitable programmer or test clip.The VIN will be the short 7 digit VIN, and it should be in ASCII, so it'll be pretty obvious when you see it as it'll probably be the usual 2 letters / 5 digits format and there won't be much else matching a pattern like that.Would this be found in NEODATA or FSWPSW.TRC? I'm willing to give it a shot, just to see if I have a slim chance.However, it is looking more and more that I'd be better off getting a new cluster from the dealer. Update 3/29/2017: My order of PA Soft 1.40 and the cable came in so I spent some time attempting to recode the replacement cluster's VIN so I could remove the tamper dot.

Unfortunately, none of the instructions out there on any sort of related thread were of any help and I was not able to change the VIN.This is what I have learned so far: The replacement cluster that came out of a 2001 (09/2000) BMW 540i has the older EEPROM chip. I believe this to be true because in one of the threads, it was mentioned that the older chip has a particular range of hexadecimal (goes up to 01FF, I believe) whereas the newer chip goes up to a higher range (03FF, I think). Since the hex editor in PA Soft showed that the range stopped at 01FF, I am under the impression that I could easily change the VIN in the cluster.Unfortunately, I could not. Seems none of the threads related to PA Soft were helpful; either they went into convoluted detail which included remove needles and calibrating gauges or they were vague and gave no real specific, clear step-by-step instructions on doing just one particular thing.
I've even used guides on how to work PA Soft, hoping something would help, but nothing has.So, this is my situation:I have a 2002 BMW 530i.Its gauge cluster was fucked.Took gauge cluster from my old 2001 (build date 09/2000) BMW 540i.BMW 540i's cluster has lower mileage and (obviously) different VIN. It also apparently has the older EEPROM chip in it.I have a tamper dot. Research has told me the tamper dot comes on only when the VIN in the IKE does not match the VIN in the LCM and some other modules.Also, my DSC light is on which means my stability control is deactivated, because of the VIN difference.I want to change ONLY the VIN so that they match.I want to change ONLY the VIN so that they match.I want to change ONLY the VIN so that they match.(I have to repeat myself because I know some people gloss over what I primarily want to do and still want to bring up mileage discrepancy. Do not worry about the mileage, I will worry about that for another day.)How do I use (step-by-step instructions are what I need) PA Soft to change the VIN so they can match and I can get rid of the tamper dot and the DSC light?I think I included everything pertinent, but if I haven't, let me know so I can edit the post with all necessary information. I appreciate any help I can get that is useful. Hello all,I have a 2002 BMW 530i. Straight to the point, I replaced my faulty gauge cluster with one from a 2001 BMW 540i.

After codding with ncs. Thank you, enda and legoman, for the insight. Yes, it dawned on me later that people were probably talking about the LCM having its VIN changed to the one in the IKE. However, I've already went ahead and bought a new instrument cluster from the dealership, so once it gets here, I'm hoping it's just a simple plug-in-play with minor coding needed to get it up to snuff.Also with the steering angle sensor, how do I 'redo' that exactly? I assume there's a function in PA Soft that'll make it an easy process?
Can you get the coding plug out of your old cluster? If so, pop it into the new (replacement) one and re-install.I bought a brand-new (when they were available) E36 M3 cluster for my car due to intermittent issues with used ones. Dealer could not code it. I swapped in another 96+ coding plug and everything magically started working but I have the red dot because the VINs do not match.If you use your VIN matching coding plug, it should be perfect.I am not entirely sure what you mean by a coding plug. You mean the EEPROM chip that's soldered to the board? Either way, I cannot as I up my old cluster when removing the needles. Another reason why I bought a new cluster.Last edited by MauiM3Mania; at 02:28 AM.Reason: profanity.
The E36 cluster has a small rectangular bump on it. You break that open and under it is a coding plug that plugs into the board. Gently pry out with a screwdriver.Do the same on your 'new' cluster and pop the 'bad' cluster plug (that is already coded to your car) in the 'new' cluster.It's not an EPROM chip, or if it is, it is not in the standard configuration. It is (from memory) 1/2' X 1' or so, has a blue and white end exposed once the cover is busted off. Hang on.On the left side in this photo above. The white rectangle with the blue pain blob in the middle. That's the coding plug.
Break the plastic ring (or take it all apart) and pop it out. Place it in your 'new' cluster. Obviously battery is disconnected for all this operation but once back together and powered up, the DME doesn't know it's a different cluster- it thinks it's the same one that's been in there.They have to be compatible clusters obviously. I wouldn't for instance put a '95 cluster coding plug into a '96+ cluster.
