That's what the SIB says

"5. If the voltage is not found, then continue
troubleshooting the signal wire between X6031
pin #11 and the transmission connector X8500
pin #12. (Look for the backed-up pins or lost
continuity in the signal wire.) Perform repairs as
needed."

My SAT retrofit is almost complete in my 2010 535i XDrive. I have replaced the standard hardware with SAT hardware, flashed 7601458 SAT firmware to the EGS using WinKFP, updated the VO to $2TB (deleted $205) on the CAS and LMA modules. So far I'm getting much quicker upshifts with the sport button pressed as well as the throttle blip downshifts. The only thing I'm missing is "Sport" displayed in the KOMBI. Looks like I need to add $2TB to KOMBI, but how? What are the steps in NCSExpert to do this?

I was wondering about that.

Can you read the VO from the KOMBI the same way as you can from CAS or LMA?

Worth a test...

In which case you should be able to edit it and put it back the same way as you did CAS & LMA

you were able to flash EGS but don't know how to code KOMBI? come on man


VO can be added only to CAS and LMA. other modules are coded according to your VO stored in CAS or LMA. Code your KOMBI to defaults with expert profile. SG_codieren job in ncsexpert

Well the car is an 07 with later type auto gear shift, led lights etc but made 218hp on the rr, go figure?

Anyway I have the black connector and a white connector shown in the picture, can anyone confirm which one it is please.

Flashing the EGS with WinKFP was the easiest part of all this IMO. I do realize the inherent risk in doing that flash, but the process was quite simple.


So to add $2TB to KOMBI, the process would be:
Open NCS Expert
Load Expertenmodus (OFFEN) profile - expertmode profile gives me an error as do many of the other profiles listed. I've been successful using expertenmodus (OFFEN) for everything else.
F1
F3
Select E60 Chassis
Select CAS module
F2 Enter FA
Select E60
Don't change anything in the FA, just click OK
F6 Back
F4 process ECU - Choose KOMBI
F2 Change Job
Select SG_Codieren
F3 Execute Job




Sorry, I'm pretty new to this. I played around with coding briefly on my old E90 a few years back, but forgot most of it. It's not like riding a bicycle.
