    Winkfp doesn't update ecus after updating ecus

    Hello. I'm using original ICOM with easyconnect mode OBD_ab625 and type remote". I've been trying to update E53 and E60, DDE and EGS. It goes all well and in the end, it says OK. But when I look in inpa ZB number, it's still the same as it was before. And when I try again to update, it still shows the same updateable ZB number as before. Is my winkfp setting wrong? I'm using the latest SP datens and latest winkfp.
    I've attached the settings picture below.

    Check the UIF write boxes.

    You have actually been updating them, but it does not record the change to UIF area.

    Yes all of them until you specifically have a need to not write UIF.
    I saw the thread on cartechnology. You received lots of good answers there.

    UIF - user information field, which stores ZB, date, program, and VIN used at time of flash. Most of the time you have a limited amount of space for how many UIF slots fit, so there is a limit. (Unless you clear them yourself, most of the time a more difficult job.)

    UIF in comfort mode should be sufficient. The others only affect expert mode
