Successfully coded my E70

i was using the BMW Coding Tool since it's all one click button options for the updates
you think once i get to plugging the cable in it might still actually work without updating the WinKFP then?

i also used the BMW Coding Tool to update the daten files. it was quick and easy.

yea, I don't think you need to update WinKFP... just follow my instructions in the earlier post about running the CD install first. Just follow the included PDF, but copy the step_2 and step_3 folder to the root of C: drive then finish the installation.

so uninstall the piratebay copy
install CD as stated above then should i try installing piratebay copy after that to update the files?

if i wanna use the BMW Coding Tool for coding do i just run NCSExpert in the background?

one last thing
BMW Coding Tool shows Chasis, obviously E70 then shows Module and has a huge list of options.. what do i choose there?

YES

i didn't use this coding tool for the actual coding part, only used it to update daten files. I'm not sure if you can use the coding tool to replace NCSExpert. i think you still will need to use NCSExpert to complete the coding process

thanks for all the help
i got a proper Daten file finally with the DATA folder and i'm pretty sure i've got the NCS_DIY.pdf file already.
it's late now so i'll try testing this all out tomorrow after i drop off my E46 for VCG and VANOS replacement
X5 goes in wedsnesday to the dealer to get glovebox half replaced and i'm going to check and make sure my software on the X is all up to date too which means ill just do a test coding
thanks again
