I don't have a 2010 car but Perhaps someone with one that has INPA can chime in.
But what exactly are you trying to accomplish? I'm sorry i don't want to read 3 pages right now. Before you wrote " 9125887 and it is set to 9172018 "
So now it's 2172018? Updated ZB's go up in sequence not down

Things that went well:
1)I succesfully added the digital speed display in the KOMBI module including both KORREKTUR settings.
2)I read his LMA module as his eyebrows weren't on. Strangly the code said: SIDEMARKER_US as being aktiv. But still the eyebrows wouldn't work. So I coded the LMA module to say nicht_aktiv, when I did that his head lights flashed for a second and his eyebrows came on??!! Again read the LMA module, and it was still set to aktiv eventhough I wrote nicht_aktiv. Anyway his eyebrows are now on, so a succes again.

Now the strange bit in the CAPPL module:
He wanted the following done:
ACOUSTIC set to aktiv
AMBANDS set to nicht_aktiv
MP3_CCC set to full as he cannot play MP3 cd's
So I coded all the changes, wrote it back to the module (no errors), but nothing changed. I re-read the module and all the settings were back to the old state? Tried a couple of time and eventually 1 change every time. So all of a sudden the ACOUSTIC option in the iDrive were there and we could set the sound. Succes
Next run the AMBANDS were disabled. Re-read the module and it does state nicht_aktiv. When pressing the button on the wheel for next entertainment however, it does NOT skip the AMBANDS. So no succes. Not really a major problem for him though.
But the most important will just not work! The MP3 function will not allow itself to be set to FULL. No matter how many times I write it to the CAPPL module, it just defaults back to the original setting.
Original settings was:
MP3_CCC:
nicht_aktiv
extern
full
Now I changed it to having FULL only, moved FULL to the first in line, changed nicht_aktiv into aktiv, etc. But nothing helped, it just defaults back???
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be? Old software in his car maybe? But then why can I change other options (partially).

ANY tips will be greatly appreciated!

p.s. here are allt he options he has installed:
$169$205$216$226$2RA$302$415$438$441$442$502$508$5 22$524$534$540$548$563$638$672$785$818$851$863$877 $886$896$915$235$609$620+B110

I had the same thing and I know what you are talking about....we tried many many times and it never held the MP3 activation. I have done tons of reading and found that my whole i drive software had to be updated in order to take the coding. my software version was too old in order to take in the MPs coding. i took the car to the dealer to get the whole car software updated for $250. Once i got it back i was able to code MP3. Trust me, this is your issue, i have lived with it for many months but finally got it done. If your car was produced before september of 2005 and your softare was never updated, YOU NEED TO UPDATE in order to MP3 to be coded.

you need Progman V27 or newer to have in your car...only than you can code MP3....thats what it says in BMW bulletin doc where they describe how to add MP3 retrofit to E60 and E65

Now I'm reviving an old thread. So I wanted to code a few things to CAPPL and I continually get an error message with NCS. I was hoping that some would be able to share their CCC_APP.C0C files so that I can see if there are any issues specifically with mine or what the issue is. I get a COAPI error. I will post up with what I find no worries.
