On my MINI R56, I could only update certain modules like the CAS, if the key was removed from the switch.
I learned through error: When I tried to update the module with the ignition on, the ECU blocked the transfer. However WinKFPT did its first clear to 100% before the error came (something like "ECU not in flash mode").
The car gave me another error: Steering wheel lock malfunction
Anw after lots of tries, I was able to reprogram the ECU with the ingition off and the key removed. The error remained on the dash, but I removed it by going into INPA and deleting the error memory of the CAS module. Removing the error from the whole list of modules DID NOT help.
Now the car is very fine. Wondering what to update next
CAS is only prgrammable when ignition is off and key is removed from the lock. When using SSS/ISSS you are ordered to do this also !
So, absolutly normal.
Now I have a real problem: Apparently I run into the same trouble as NoQuarterX did: I tried updating the CCCA060 module and after about 7 hours it finally finished. But it then gave me two error messages:
1. ERROR_ECU_SECURITY_ACCESS_DENIED__Security_Access_ Requested
2. SIGNATURE (could not be chacked ro something similar).
I am wondering if the problem was the battery... It is possible that if the battery was below a threashold, the ECU might deny any changes to its status (Normal vs. Programming ??) and it stays into Programming.
Any ideas???
Hi,
I'm trying to do this but in the ECU selection page (the fourth attached picture in the first post of this thread), there is nothing listed.
What am I doing wrong?
You probably did not copy the "SGDAT" folder from the original SP_DATEN to WinKFP's directory.
Where is this "SGDAT" folder and where in the WinKFP directory should I copy it to?

Also, on a side note...
So I'm trying to update my ECU to the latest euro version (6MT built before 03/2005: 7837779) for my car. Is the new euro version (7837779) already a part of the INPA/NCSexpert/WinKFP package? I have WinKFP v.5.1.6.

7837779 probably won't work with your car. There are two different revisions of the MSS54 floating around - one with a 1.5MB bootloader and another with a 1MB boot loader. I'm not sure what the cutoff date is, but so far all the guys with the 2002 m3s have the old bootloader. You should use 7837907.
So far here's what I found:
Old bootloader
6MT - 7837907
SMG - 7837929
New bootloader
EU3 6MT - 7837779
EU4 6MT - 7837777
EU3 SMG - 7837793
EU4 SMG - 7837791
EU4 becoming the requirement is the only reason 03/2005 cars got new software. The eu3 software is more aggressive and will work with post 03/2005 M3s just fine
I've yet to figure out when the cutoff for the new bootloader is. I think it's 2003, but am not positive.
Thanks for the reply Terra.
So do I have the necessary files already to do this update or do I need to download something else to make the update work?
hello i have bmw x5 e70 2009 year . i need know how to change USA's radio frequensy to Europian radio frequensy. via Ncsexpert mode program. Thank you
I am a newbie to this. I changed the airbag control module in 2004 530i with a used one and I am getting vin error. I am getting conflicting information on wether it can be recoded/flashed or not. Can someone shed some light on this.
You may have to use Tool32 to do that. In Tool32 you load the ECU file which corresponds to the module you want to communicate with. Then you will have to browse to the corresponding function and give the VIN as an argument.
Hint: The VIN is usually referred to as FA from "Fahrgestellnummer" in german.
Some one who update the ccc, is it normal that when it 100%, new drive menu is up but WinKFP didn't say tha ecu is updated and after 5 minutes it start again(whiteout asking confirm) from 1% and on the screen BMW logo appear again?
May it be on loop? Have i to close communication when it 100% and idrive is on?
Thank you very much?

Hi!
I tried to learn about winkfp to update my dme ms42. What I found in winkfp was MDS42. Is this for my car DME MS42????
I hate to bring this thread back up, but I'm having a problem.
When I click on 'update ZUSB', the new window pops up, but it's all empty.
I think I saw something about having to add some data files, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what that is referring to.
take a look here http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...ghlight=gdaten
That is a great thread, but now I've got a different problem.
I'm getting the error about the NPV.DAT file. I've searched, and some people say that they edit the file in Notepad and that works. So...what do I edit????
Everything Gene's walkthrough worked.
Hi all, i have done it with the ECU (MS41.0) after engine swap from M52B20 to M52B28, but i cant update the steptronic ECU. After selecting the version and clicking on "program" there is error "can`t find 1422768. In ..\DATA\G832\ there is no 1422768.0pa file, there is no any *.0pa files. For all other ECU`s have, but here, NO. Any clues. The EGS is GS 8.32 (5HP18 or A5S 310Z)
