VO / FA coding help needed

[curoar]

Hey, I know this might not be the right section, looking for some help with BMW coding issues.

I'm trying to code my E61 with NCS but when I try to read the VIN and FA/VO from CAS or LMA I get an error that options $820 and $963 are incorrect for my FA. If I try to delete them and proceed I get a COAPI-1000 error. The error.log shows no useful information. I have tried to create a fa.ssd file and import it into NCS but I still get COAPI-1000 error. I've searched through every possible thread on google about this issue and have not been able to resolve this issue. I'm running the v60.1 SP-datens and standard tools 2.12. from bimmergeeks. INPA and ISTA-D works fine with the car, but ISTA-P also cannot read the VO from the car.

The only solution I can think of is creating a new VO .xml file and import it through ISTA-P, but not sure if I should attempt this since I only have a K+DCAN cable. Hope you can help me out, cheers!

Thanks for the reply, I also searched for them online. Also found that 820 is Latin-American package. I have no clue why these are in the VO since I have a german 525d but I have found forum posts with the same (820 963) VO/FO errors without a solid solution.


Anyway, here's my VIN ( B429869 ) and FA.ssd with the 820 and 963 removed which still produces COAPI-1000 error. I checked the options with a VIN decoder and all other codes should be there. The only thing Im not sure about is the production date.

Solved the issue. $820 was the only language option in the VO and after deleting it, COAPI-1000 happened. I just inserted a german language option in the car which is $851 and everythig works fine.
