In the last few days I read a post on this Board that said ?CIP? has been replaced by ?PROGMAN?. I searched but could not dig up the post or postor.

Just got my E60 back from service and the invoice noted ENCODED CAR USING CIP 28.2.

Are we just slow in the south or are they both still used? Or are they the same?

 

Really the same although the terminology changed after CIP 19 to Progman.

 

From all that I remember reading on here and elsewhere, CIP and Progman are merely different terminology for the same thing. Not sure which is the more current term though.

 

See my post then.

 

Well I'm sure this will clear up any confusion - Haha. BMWs take on the subject is in the SIB starting under my translation.

What I have found is the CD or on-line distribution will normally be identified as a CIP #. Within that distribution will be PROGMANs for the various platforms (3s, 5s&6s, 7s, X5s). Although the update is new compard to the previous CIP release NOT ALL PROGMANs may have changed. So you get CIP 27.01.01 and your buddy gets CIP 28.00.00 a month later and guess what? You both have the SAME PROGMAN version - Target Data Status E060-07-09-521. And oh BTW, there were a total of 5 CIP versions that were all the same PROGMAN in that series. Clear????????

This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.I. B 09 05 01 dated December 2005.

(NEW) designates changes to this revision

SUBJECT
Coding, Individualization, Programming (CIP)

MODEL
All

SITUATION
Coding, Individualization and Programming (CIP) is a module for DISplus, GT1 and Software Service Station (SSS). CIP software may be loaded by either online update (refer to SI B07 05 02) or as a CD (refer to SI B09 07 02).

PROCEDURE
Car and Key Memory (CKM)

There is no CKM available for E90 (3 Series).

(NEW) For E60/E61/E63/E64 and E90, most of the CKM settings are customer selectable using the Control Display. For all other models the CKM configuration is performed using Progman. For details refer to:

SI B09 03 98 , Car and Key Memory (CKM) Configuration

Airbag Reactivation Procedure

All airbag reactivation/deactivation on E65/E66/E83/E85/E60 is performed using Progman. Refer to appropriate SIB for details:

SI B65 22 99 , Rear Airbag Activation/Deactivation Procedure

SI B65 20 97 , Deactivation of Airbags

Programming and Coding

(NEW) All programming and coding is performed using Progman. Refer to attachment "B090501ProgCoding" titled "Programming and Coding using CIP".

For additional information on Programming Environment refer to SBT 00 03 03(054).

Adapt VO (Vehicle Order)

To modify the vehicle order (VO) or to reload an existing VO, the appropriate VO must be loaded to an empty floppy disk. The VO file is supplied by e-mail from the Technical Hotline. Please make request using the PUMA system. A return e-mail address must be provided.

Connect the vehicle to an approved BMW battery charger

Insert the disk into the floppy drive.

(NEW) With the appropriate diagnostic head connected to the vehicle, start a Progman session.

Select the appropriate vehicle model.

Press the "Vehicle" button at the screen with the text "Program SELECTION: 1. Terminate CIP 2. Load software 3. Car & Key Memory (CKM) ... ".

Press "Vehicle order".

Press "Adapt VO" and follow the on-screen instructions.

(NEW) For additional information on the Vehicle Order refer to SI B09 03 06.

Retrofits

(NEW) Note: The vehicle must be updated with the latest Progman version before executing the retrofit procedure.

(NEW) If the retrofit requires the installation of new hardware and/or any other modification to the vehicle, these must be done before carrying out the Progman retrofit procedure.

All necessary programming and coding for retrofits are performed using Progman. Refer to appropriate SIB for details.

After retrofit has been carried out:

Connect the vehicle to an approved BMW battery charger

(NEW) With the appropriate diagnostic head connected to the vehicle, start a Progman session.

Select the appropriate vehicle model.

Press the "Load Software" button at the screen with the text "Program SELECTION: 1. Terminate CIP 2. Load software 3. Car & Key Memory (CKM) ... ".

Answer "No" at the screen with the text "Have control modules been replaced on this car? Note: For retrofits press No".

Press "Cancel Update" at the screen with the title "Status report" if it appears.

Press "Retrofits" at the screen with the text "Select control module to be processed".

Press "Retrofits" at the next screen

Select the performed retrofit (e.g. "Telephone" ? "Added") and follow the on-screen instructions

Note: File B090501ProgCoding includes Attachment 1 and Attachment 2.

 

Thanks cobradav.

I'm glad we got that straightened out!

Now I know I shouldn't try that at home!

 

Hunhhh????
