Where or what is the output of reading the index (CODIERINDEX_LESEN). All I get is a complete FSW_PSW.trc file not the one only from the CIC module. I can't read the module and I can't code it.

My guess is your NCSexpert version is out of date.

At the coding phases of my SAT retrofit (Sport Automatic).

I need to change the VO to include S2TBA. What is the acutal code for NCS? S2TBA doesn't work, $2TBA doesn't work, is there a system behind what the real code is for VO compared to the option code?

Jim,

Have you try to use just $2TB?

That did it - thanks for the help.


Now I'm thinking I wasn't as prepared as I thought. I updated the VO, now I think I am supposed to code an actual module but I don't know which. Hmm, more reading to do.

The EGS is the transmission control module, might also want to do the KOMBI, SZL and SZM. The options are listed on the BMW car configurator as eg. SA430, SA stands for something but not sure what so in the VO SA430 would be $430A, but "A" needs to be removed. Congrats on the SAT retrofit.

Whenever you want to add a VO its always best to check in the E60AT.000 file in the E60 folder of NCS if that VO is even allowed on the E60.

Thanks guys! I think I got the hang of VO changes and Expert mode module coding now.

Got the SAT coded tonight - I just coded the modules BLooD suggested.

Prior to the coding:
SAT provided the improved shifting and tighter steering behavior. I had no "sport" light in the cluster. I had D mode, the DS mode when you move the shifter sideways, and I had manual mode where the shifter stayed in manual mode. Rev matching downshifts - very cool.

After coding:
I got the "sport" display in the cluster, AND there is no longer a DS mode. When I move the shifter sideways and let go it does nothing and moves back to center position. If I move it sideways and shift manually, I get manual shifting. When I pause long enough without manual shifting, the display goes from "Mx" to "D". So what it is doing is automatically switching back to auto - preventing the frequent problem of forgetting I am in manual mode after a long drive and taking off in M1 and near redlining.

Did you code the CCC as well?, I think theres some functions in the ccc referring to the transmission.
