Got my BMWhat app

[josiahg52]

During the coding process, the application completely lost communication with the FRM and the FRM only. Despite disconnecting, clearing the cache, repairing with the adapter, reconnecting and checking for compatible modules, it still appears greyed out and the application cannot communicate with the FRM. Since it cannot connect with the FRM, I cannot revert back to the previous coding.

I just got back from the dealer and the FRM has suffered a permanent internal fault and requires replacement. The diagnostic software could not communicate with the FRM. They tried reconnecting it for a few minutes to no avail. It's going back in Wednesday for repair.

Currently, the following features do not function or are in reduced status:

- turn signals completely non-functional including hazard lights
- front side markers non-functional
- headlights and taillights permanently on (switch does not affect operation)
- Corona lights and DRLs non-functional
- interior instrument, HVAC, gear selector and iDrive knob lights on at full intensity
- overhead console, door switch(es), head light switch, parking brake switch and 'Auto-H' switch, CD/DVD player back lighting non-functional
- ambience lighting non-functional
- high-beam/bi-Xenon lights completely non-functional
- fog lights completely non-functional
- cornering lights non-functional
- dome lights and map lights completely non-functional
- vanity mirror lights non-functional
- Welcome and Follow Me lighting non-functional
- power windows non-functional
- no audible or visual indication of remote door lock/unlocking and/or alarm arming/disarming
- reverse lights may not be functioning (hard to check)
- Auto-H system malfunction

I didn't try them but the power seats/mirrors and/or key/seat/mirror memory might also be affected. **Power seats and memory seem to be functioning.**

I hesitate to blame the application but I have no way of knowing for sure unless someone else reports a similar issue using the same coding options I did. Obviously, it facilitated the current condition but I just don't think it caused it in and of itself. These are the hazards of these types of modifications.
