    E65 upgrade LM to LMII (LMII from E60)

    Hello guys,

    I am stuck during upgrade process on my BMW E65 (2006). I am upgrading light control module from LM to LMII to have auto DRL, cornering fog lights and some more new stuff. Light control module is same on E65 and E60 cars, so I bought module which was taken out from E60. Module installed in my car was LM E6X MH AHL (9116260). I have bought upgrade module LM II E6X AHL (9203082).
    Using ncsexpert I have changed VIN in new module and chaged FA from CAS module. However I can not see any of new functions when I do coding on ncsdummy. Moreover, my adaprive headlights now gives an error message when I start the car.
    My old module used these files on ncs expert: LM_AHL.C21, A_E65LM.IPO, LM_AHL.PRG.
    New module uses these: LM_E60.C0E, A_E65LM.IPO, LM_60.PRG.
    Can anyone tell me what needs to be done more to get it work?

    When I try to open "Light Switch Module with AHL" in INPA, I get this error message:

    Requested control unit: 'LM_AHL,LM_AHL_2' not found.
    Control unit found: 'LM_60'.

    Either your are using an antiquated ..\EDIABAS\ECU\T_GRTB.PRG file and/ or the ecu gives a wrong variant index, diagnostic index or, from F01 onwards, SGBD index.

    Program will be stopped!

    How to fix these indexes?

    Physically new module is LM2 AHL, but in INPA it is identified as Lm_60 (without AHL), because it has this Coding Index written in. So in NCS it uses Coding Data which does not have AHL options to modify.
    What software is used and how to change module Coding Index, that this new module would start using other Coding Data?

    Can someone please give me your VO string from you BMW E65 car with LM2 installed. As i see, coding index file (LM_60.C0E act.) is chosen automatically by NCS when it look into your VO, so I think I need to add some option to VO then NCS will load another coding index for my module. I need to know what to add, so I need VO string from some car where LM2 is already installed.

    You need to use a different NCSExpert profile (such as Revtors) which allows you to manually choose your daten file. It has a popup with all the files it needs to use... .ipo , .Cxx, etc. You have to type in the file name you need to use.

    I am using expertmode profile and I can see that popup window. The thing is that when I press load ecu -> LMA this popup window comes up and there are already these values: LM_AHL.C20 A_65LM.IPO LM_AHL.PRG, i press ok and after doing reading or writing job, I can see that leaded files are diferent from selection in popup window. On bottom line bellow JOBNAME = .... I see LM_E60.C0E, A_E65LM.IPO, LM_60.PRG. So it looks like NCS does not care what you write down in popup window.

    If I manualy write LM2_E6X.35, when i start coding i get: Error COAPI-2041
    A_E65LM: CODIERINDEX = 0Eh
    LM2_E6X.C35: CODIERINDEX = 35

    These indexes do not match. What can be wrong?
