Possibly Fried My Already Bad FRM..help
Now today is a whole other issue and could really use some help. For most of the long weekend I have been toying with NCS Expert & INPA. Only have a few issues in INPA such as not being able to read the Transmission module.. I believe its a bad install somewhere. Anyway everything else in INPA works and is very helpful. I then moved on to NCS Expert where I coded 3 or 4 modules with no problem. I saved the best for last, the FRM. I did this as I knew I could possible mess this up. Well I guess I did.... maybe. In INPA I was showing A8AC followed by the number 64 when I read all codes. Again, I coded other modules no problem. Saved FRM for last "executed job" and boom, CIC restarted followed by all lights going out and have no lights what so ever. Only thing working is door locks, no alarm. Could this be that the FRM is fried and the typical issue thats covered by BMW? I bought the car used from a third party and it doesn't appear FRM was ever replaced. Car is a 2011 with 99k on it. Per the car fax it was 'sold' in September of 2010. Did I miss the cut off? Could this be a short circuit.. Im stuck now. Any help is appreciated. |

pull the FRM and have it bench flashed. Thats your only recourse now.

Someone with specialized electronics tools, usually on a "bench" will access the internals of the FRM and code/flash it.
BMW will deny a warranty at one day past 10 years. You could try, but the C__Suckers at dealerships will usually say "happy encouraging talk, give us $150 for diagnostics and we will try and get BMW to cover it". Then screw you .... "yeah we tried as hard as possible but BMW refused- $1200 plus 3 hours, or $1800 total". IMO |

Doesn't hurt to call and ask, but they likely will tell you sorry. Went through this a few weeks ago myself, 2 months out of warranty. After a few trips to local junkyards found a used module for $80. Was pretty easy to code back to defaults and write vin. Less than 10 minutes and was back up and running. May want to consider that option, used ones online are around $200.
