Bruce, thanks for your response. You have made double post, please delete one.

Let me find out how can get my hand on a OPS unit first then I will get into combox. I wish I could hire it for a week in the UK :-)

Does someone know how to change VIN number of a module without flashing it? I have heard Tool32 can be used here but lacking know-how. Playing with tool32 can be a bit risky.

 

Slight correction to this finding. I had RDC as aktive in the man file which isn't right for my computer as it doesn't use RDC. This was the cause of the problem not the FA as observed before. Setting RDC to nicht_aktiv makes it work.

Also we don't need to change FA to see CIC in the ncs all we need to do it to write $6VA to the FA list and that makes cic available instead of CAPPL. Not sure what all will be required to get combox in. Thats could be next project.

Hope it helps.

 

Patrys im trying to get in touch with on skype, concerning your CIC kits. you don`t seam to answer

 

No way

If you decide to do it I might have some discount for you

 

thanks we spoke about it.

 

Problem is the $6VC is not a recognised FA for the E60.

 

$6VC is for combox, I haven't looked much in detail in that area but I think you can fool ncs into thinking its E90 by ssd files.

 

Im looking to a CIC but looks like I will loose my DAB and thats a no no so I dont know what to do

 

I have to update my CIC and for that I need OPS diagnostic multiplexer for this one off job, however I can't justify the price given I am not going to use it ever again in foreseeable future. For small config changes I have OBD cable which works flawlessly on my 2007 LCI E60. OBD works but its dog slow and quite prone to errors, it has failed mid-way flashing in most of the modules I have updated. Luckily those modules survived but it was very lucky. From my personal experience I won't recommend anyone to use OBD for flashing so the only option left is MOST based OPS multiplexer.

Given the price and nature of job would many guys be interested in it as a combined purchase to share the cost and the hardware as needed. I assume it will be one off use for everyone like me. Alternatively I can buy it on my own and can rent it across the UK if you think this will work.

Or if someone can rent for working interface for a week or so on a reasonable price.

 

Lol I updated my whole car with Winkfp and an OBD cable.
