As the title suggests really, a little background info to put some meat on the bones,

Car is E39 M5 - 2000 model, last week had the ABS module repaired at BBA reman, on its return to me some of the pins got bent in transit, straightened the pins connected the unit back to the car and still have the same 3 faults i sent it away for repair for, no ABS or DSC & Tyre pressure monitor inactive faults. As a good will gesture they have sent me a rebuilt unit, trouble is it needs to be coded. I have BMW scanner 1.4 (this cannot code ABS modules). I have INPA & NCS expert (have never used NCS before) got the 16 pin to 20 pin adapter cable with the FTDI chipset. So iv'e got the gear but need an idiots step by step guide to get NCS up and running & the coding preocedure.

Thanks
Mike

BMW Scanner does that buddy.
Go to:
SRS unit > Reprograming > Write FGSTNR (Last 7 digits of your VIN)

Once you have done that, disconnect everything, close the car, open the car, plug in BMW Scanner and report back here.
