Hey, I just signed up here but ive been reading thru all these posts and I think my problem matches up with this. I got this new door *Used but super clean internals and paint*... The speakers work fine and get power, but then the mirrors, locks, and windows don't have power on the passenger side door that was changed. Ive been going in a circle wondering if its the mirror motor or something shorting out but that just doesnt make sense as the speakers work fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

My Beamer is a 2007 550i E60, it sucks my old laptop got thrown away with every data file for ista+ and every other tool you can think of. Years later all this stuff is for sale! I'm trying to find the SP Daten files for the E60 and ive had no luck. Mega downloads are limited these days too smh. What has the world come too lol. Any help would be hella appreciated I truly believe it is the door module.

Its weird because my old door doesn't seem to have the module. Yet i grabbed this used door off of the exact same model car, year, and everything so im not sure why my old door doesnt have the module.

You may have gotten the wrong door. Build dates matter. BMW changes configurations and you may have a LCI model that got rid of the door modules and incorporated them in the BCM/FRM. Not saying that is the issue I'm just saying it's a possibility. 2007 was the year the model your vehicle switched to LCI. March 2007 was the build date of the LCI. So if your vehicle was built after that and your donor was built before that then that's your issue as of now.

Im actually looking back at the car lot and the door was from a 2008 bmw which is odd because mine is a 2007 without the module at all. I guess it being a 2008 doesnt mean it was built in 2008. I wonder if programming the module would do anything at all in this case. I still have the old door, I wonder if I can scrap it and change everything out. Would be some work tho.

I have all the bmw tools besides ista+. I only needed ista for the SP-Daten files for the E60 because the ones I have are invalid when trying to update everything in the bmw coding tool / winkfp.

I provided them for you so you shouldn't have an issue with programming now. ITSA+ will only let you diagnose and do maintenance items on the E series

The module pops up on INPA and shows as 6E BFS - OKAY... But im not seeing the module on winKFP. Every other module is there other than the BFS. FAS shows and the vin is correct on that but there is no vin on the BFS on INPA.
