I have a 2011 BMW X5 50i I had gotten the notice from BMW of extended warranty on the footwell module how will I know if my footwell module is going bad
What’s the programmers info
@@visionoLLC what's the programming info??
Alex Lopez if you run the battery low in the bmw it does something to the computer..I got mines re programmed and everything worked
The link to simmer brain gives a weird error message. Great resource! Awesome vid
You helped us save a lot of money by sharing this tutorial, we did it ourselves and reinstalled it filling these steps! Thank you !!
Thank you sooooo much! It was soo easy. I literally followed step by step. Literally saved me 1500 dollars 😂😂😂
Just as well there are programmes that show /tell you when to do it yourself and when to let professionals do the job. Thank you
It would have been nice during the programming part, in which your coder person, explained step by step how he coded the new FRM module to the ECU.
m.czcams.com/video/0GSe2y3xYSY/video.html
Just posting this for someone who might have the same question
Nah, that would be too perfect
Very helpful. Thanks! Great job!
Exceptional dude✌
Excelente video, muy bien explicado, Muchas gracias por compartir amigo.
Helpful thanks 👍
What an awesome video, thank you for showing all of the steps properly! The music and editing was very good as well!!
which frm would you recommend to upgrade to for my 06 330? Looking to get welcome lights enabled for my new retrofitted headlights!
Hi, can you show me how to reset the error count on the FRM 2 module
When removing the old FRM make sure to NOT take the top nut all the way off, just back it off so you can get the FRM out, his makes it WAY easier to get the new one in place.
I left the top screw-in didn't even touch it. The module easily came right out.
this video saved my life and my wallet😂👌🏽
Very informative for a beginner driver like me!
So I'm very excited about the angel eyes daytime running lights but I don't have JB4. Do I need it to do this?
Cool! i;d like the cornering lights to turn on with the high beams, that would be great.
Grey connectors, push in towards you and then up. Got it. That’s all I came for :)
If change the door lock actuator I must configure the module ? I ask because I changed the door lock actuator and don’t work well.
hello ty for the video ..i have 2 questions..what size phillips screw goes into the trunk release handle? The shorter or LONGER phillips screw? Also, what is that black square thing sticking out about 2 inches above the trim panel board..it has like a black plastic wirelike looking tie attached..its at bottom LEFt of trim panel panel i dont have any connector for it.
Any chance you can share where you got your programs from? I have an FRM that I need to replace into replace and it would also come in handy having the programming for call programming for bmw up to 2018
Hi friend
What was the initial issue??
Thanks
After putting in a new module, do you have to re flash or re install the jb4? Because mines is acting up. I get a code saying engine malfunction. I diagnosed the car my hpfp is fine, it’s just saying my boost levels are too low. Should I re backend flash?
What is your programming cable and battery charger?
My front turn signals aren't working on my 2008 E93. Ebay sellers said FRM2 requires coding after fixing module and installing in car but not with FMR3? Can I upgrade FRM2 to FRM 3? Of course FRM2 will still need coding in car with Vin#. What should I do?
Is it possible to list step by step instructions on how to install the software to code and reprogram
Did you disconnect the battery before you reinstalled it?
there is a SIB with the dealer.... can this be done with tune still on? Seems like if I flash back to stock (upgraded) turbos etc... I also need to find my stock TMAP as my n20 stumbles over 2500k
i replace FRM1 to FRM3, if i follow this tutorial, i can make it working & identify my car or i need to do with winkfp?
i tried change vin with winkfp, but i get some of this error, when its at like 6-12%
7054 Error clear flash done - no answer from ECU (IFH-0009) but gateway o.k., no OPPS/Most
What do i do now?
I'm using K+DCAN
i have bmw e90 2005
Can you please send us the link of the obd cable that connect to your laptop and the inpa version ! And does it work on 2011 E71?
Is this the same for2010 128i?
what symptoms would a bad footwell module show?
Where did you get your software in English? Mine are all in German.
So if my footwell module went out and I’m just replacing it so i have to program it like this still or is this just because your programming it for the halos?
Hi can I use any frm on bmw e90 2011 or does it have to be frm1 or frm2?
I am trying to connect my k+dcan cable inpa not detecting it any help.
Hi🙋♂️ did you disconect battery
Why you didn’t show disconnecting battery? Is it truly necessary?
May i know... What software you use?... And how much.. is it easy to use?
2010 335i E93......Am I Pre Lci or post Lci ??
Can you program this with Carly obd?
I have a 2006 325xi. My reverse lights don’t work and the bulbs are not blown. Iv checked the trunk wire loom and test the ohms from the connector to the wire harness in the back passenger seat and it checks out at 0.2ohms. I wondering if my FRM could be the issue. Every other lights works.
Did you solve it? I have the same issue
Friendly FYI for anymore that needs a new FRM footwell module they are warranted for 8 yrs and 150 k miles on e9x cars and other models by BMW .so if ur frm fries on u call the dealer and get a new.one for free!
david chavez woah...thanks for that tip
all of them are over 8 years old, tho
What happens if my my car has already the 8 years old, but has 100,000 miles, still can i get it for free? Thanks
The recall has been extended to 10 years, I just called my BMW dealership.
What controls the FRM
where did you download BMW INPA from?
I had a bad FRM in my 2011 BMW 328i, and after looking on line for tips, I called the dealership and discovered that part was still under warranty although nothing else is. Check to see if your FRM is still covered before spending money. I bought this car used last year so I didn't know about that warranty.
Wow really , i have 08 328xi, and the footwell might be going out, how did find out
I have a 2007 328i with 181k miles and frm module is half-dead or needs to be reset. Think the dealer is the best place to take it?
What is the purpose of the "ABS sensor" at 3:50 in the video? I've driven with it unplugged and just realized while working on the clutch spring.
Anybody have an answer to this?
Only my reverse lights won't turn on, is this an indication of a bad frm module ?
Hey bro @ BMW FANATIC with ncsexpert do u have it in english version or how to do translate the words.
Apart from mybimmerbrainis there another recommended programmer? Because this guys is not answering to me neither to my friend. Thank you
I sure hope this resolves those pesky electrical gremlins.
Good video, Lee...well done.
Same here man!
@@BMWFanatic hey man I Jumpstart my 2008 328i and put a different battery in it when I went to try and start it it doesn't crank or start the wipers are stuck on the windows don't work the radio doesn't work the seats don't work the only thing that works is the dash lights and the brake lights and the key fob will unlock the doors
@@christophermccauley9160 having the same problem , were u able to figure it out??
@Christopher McCauley, @David Silva, you need to register the new battery so that it knows how many amps to pump thru the car to make all the electrical items to work. A classic example of German Over-engineering.
@@christophermccauley9160 Hi Christ, I got the same problem as yours. Have you got it fixed yet? please update. Thanks
there is a clicking sound coming from my speakers once i removed the module, wondering if i had to disconnect the battery before removing the module, any thoughts
You had your fiber optic diagnostic plug undone when you removed the lower panel. I know it was 9 months ago but just in case you were wondering why it went away when you put it all back together I figured I would answer that for you!!
Thank you for the video!
There is another recommended programmer available? I can't find mybimmerbrain guys.
Thank you

hey bro can u help me bmw 530i keep going back into park
Hi, what's the first panel called which you removed under the steering wheel? I'm trying to find a replacement online for my X3 F25 . I've been looking all over online and cannot find the name. thanks
Call the dealership, ask them for the what it's called and the part number, then search online for the best deal!
Hi there, bimmerbrain is no longer on IG, do you have someone else who can do this ?
Many times this is damaged when someone changes the bulbs because it happened to me since my fog was fine and I wanted to put some that illuminate more and when I changed it, it was damaged, honestly, BMW must always have everything original or else anything will be damaged
I tried jump starting my BMW x6 after the battery died and now the windows , hazard lights , sun roof , indicators and other stuffs don't work in addition to a bunch of different lightings that popped up in the dash.....I need help please.
Same here smh 🤦🏽♂️
Much more enjoyable at 1.25x!
No 1.75x is best! I finished in 7 minutes instead of 20min … whole module swapped and re programmed! Great video 😁😆
I have aproblem with my e39 it drain the battery when park overnight i need to find someone who have the right equeptment to program the BCM
anyone know's how to use ABRITES for this issue? in have the a used one to program but i have ABRITES instead of the his using to program the MODULE
Hello I know this is 2 years old but I need to change my footwell module but I can't find the exact part# 6135 9186171 /09 528i I want to know if I can use a different part#?
What year is this car I have a 2013bmw328xi and the mechanic can’t find the module! He says it’s not in that place!
I suggest you chk your FRM located left side of driver. immediately behind hood release. Reserve 1 hr for removing it. 2 other panels need to be removed. 1st the plastic of foot panel at entering the vehicle. 2nd panel below steering
Awesome video. I have a 2011 528i, which i believe is an F10, that has a fault on the FRM. I checked your link and they dont seem to have the one for my car.
Do you know where else i can find one? Also, is the process the same? Do i need to code it? Where can i get the software to code it?
Any help would be appreciated!
Rigoberto Alvarenga did you resolve your FRM issue? I also have a 2011 535xi and it keeps throwing rear and front light module faults.
how do you get inpa?
Csn u please help me how to program
question someone can help me, my bow 3 series lights of my headlights doesn't turn on, and sometimes only one, wondering if i need to change the LCM and do the same so my lights can work properly ?
Alejandro tirado did u fix it
Did you disconnect the battery during the footwell module installation? I want to avoid the same problem happening again with my new battery.
Brandon Thompson did you find out if it is necessary to disconnect battery?
Tim McDill I replaced my battery with a new one, but did not hook up the battery until I put the repaired module in, then connected the new battery, no problems.
Will it burn out my battery when changing foot module if not disconnected?
Do you need to disconnect the battery to reinstall the FRM3 module?
Would also like to know
Always disconnect negative terminal before any electronical components
Mine is a 2008 production e90. So it should not be a frm1 right?
DL You should most certainly have an FRM2 module. I've coded several 2008's to utilize the FRM2 lighting features.
I am French I want to know if the module is used for the light rings of the front headlights thank you
FRM has to do with front lighting I'd guess it would
I am American, yes.
My foot module went and my windows wont roll up, turning signal
Wont work or interior lights or highbeam lights but head lights are working still
How do I reset the FRM? I just bought this 06 330i and the reverse lights and tailgate lights don't work. I'm told there's probably a bad wire somewhere and the FRM needs reset. The license plate lights still work though.
Did u figure out how to reset it ???
Im having same issue on a 2010 bmw 328.i
@@Teestar519 nope I tried everything and couldn't get it to work. I ended up removing it and sending it to the ecu pros and they fixed it for $200 popped it back in and everything worked. Reverse lights came on and even the inner headlight bulbs turn on now!
@@Joeshomegarage ecu pros? You have info for them?
@@foolyou7633 thanks damn it's already been 6 months! Yeah I fixed the wires in the boot but reverse lights wouldn't come on because frm module was locked out. Couldn't connect to it so I sent it back to ecu pros and good to go. Thanks for looking out 👍
@@Joeshomegarage I was asking if you had info to the company that fixed your frm, so that I may contact them
Hi, ive no full beams, interior light, indicators /hazards, electric windows, spotlights.. Is that my frm too yeah?
Most likely & with probability if you recently have jump started.
Hey I was wondering is it possible to reflash a FRM that has been previously used in another car, I am thinking of doing that because my frm is bad in my 2011 BMW 328i xdrive, can someone let me know if its possible?
I have the same question for the same car.
Yellow William 4 Mary have you heard anything?
@@colassolorzano6353 Yes i found a place in Florida that will fix and code for $50 .. They fix it the day the receive it and ship it back the same or next day. I sent mine out to them this past monday. Im hoping it will come back ready to go next week.

Is no problem for charge baterry when the ignition is ON?
Is there another link for MyBimmerBrain? Instagram seems to have lost it.

You know you have hair on your ears got a real good close-up
We all have hairs in the ears bozo
How do you tell which frm you need? I was under the impression my 06 330 is a frm2 but the site you list says the frm3 fits my car so now I'm not sure.
You can upgrade to any FRM, just needs programmed. You can check which one that you have with a proper BMW diagnostic scan tool
You wouldn’t have FRM2 unless someone changed it out before or BMW did that for the FRM warranty
BMW Fanatic good to know, thank you!
Hola puede arreglarme el FRM3 el mío es 2008 BMW X5 E70
I sent to my frm module to a repair guy, now the car not start it says engine start fault, please close driver's door....
I think something went wrong during coding, i think the error was reset but was not trained for the car.
Can someone please help my BMW has no power what's so ever tried jumping and still the same can't open the trunk because there no power is there any other recommendations? Thanks
if you have a fob with key insert. Remove the key pressing tab next to the 2 holes on each side of fab Sit in front of trunk so you are now directly facing licence plate, look to your right where lid of the trunk bends. Underneath the bend is a lock you insert the key pulled out of fob.that is how you open trunk when no power is available.
Do you have the solution to reset the short circuit counter of a frm3 module?
You need to use tool32 for that job
Can I use protool to program a new frm3 or do I have to use ncs expert ?
That's what i'm wondering
As of the most recent update and according to BimmerGeeks!, yes you can.
Hey. My headlights shut off while driving and sometimes they come back on and work for a while but shut off again.
The communications said to check "lighting system". Is this a fix for that? I don't care to program to upgrade anything, I just want the lights to work.
Lemme know. Thanks
if you're in UK I can help
@@fresherro hey bro what's up? Thanks for offer but I'm in California.
Stupid thing made all my lights go out while driving lollll but it came back on. Gives intermittent issues and it's annoying asf.
@@CryptoJunkie I know how it feels bro.Last week alone I reprogram 3 of them and everything is back to normal saving ppl big money
www.multiautotech.co.uk/
@@fresherro I think I have a problem with the FRM. Where are you based?
Share details of the person who done the coding so we can get in touch
I did, but he has changed IG names a few times and not really doing much coding now
Hello every one i have a problem with frm module i have k-dcan and tools32 i want to coding or rest the frm module in my bmw e90 2011 someone have some information about that thank u 👍
Hello B F.
I have a question
I got 2011. 328i
And windows wont work
1 of the head light dont work
Signal light
Interior lights
Do you thing that the frm module can be reset and will work right everything
Take off your trim and look at the sticker on the module. If it says FRM3 on it you can send it to be reset. There are eBay sellers who provide this service anywhere from $50-$140
Sugar Mist thank you for taking the time to respond.
Do you think that i can do the reset if its the 3
I got a maxisyselite scanner. With a j34 box.
I got a laptop i got the the inpa wire and some programs too?
@@colassolorzano6353 I have no idea how to do it yourself. I just mailed mine in today. There is an eBay seller doing the service for $50 and he does lifetime warranty. Worth it for me
Sugar Mist i will try
But if is not the 3. So i can go head and get a used one right.
@@colassolorzano6353 ah okay I'm not sure if it is not the 3. There is an extended warranty for the FRM check to see if you are in it. If not then you can try to buy a used one but I believe you will need to figure out how to code it to your car. I do not know about this part
can you send me that program so i can down load it ?
what happened to my bimmer brain, his link isn't working?
Do you happen to know if the footwell module reads the coolant Temp and kick on the coolant fan???
Hey Devin, why do you ask this question? I'm wondering because my BMW the windows don't go down, and the turn signals donnt work and I also have a p0118 check engine light for coolant sensor.
Do I need a good FRM to drive ?
Depends how bad your situation actually is. With mine the "comfort features" stopped working. And that's not something u need to drive. But some people the car just went crazy with everything going on and off at the same times so... It depends
Negative ! you should be able to drive 100's of mile w/o the FRM operating. However, non of the auxiliary will turn on. No turn signals, headlights except day running. no windows except moon roof. No interior lamps, welcome lights, no hazard. gas lid won't lock, perhaps no security system all depends but most definitely all of the above. what will continue operating are just basic Air/heat, daytime running lights, radio, seats, gauges, seatbelt notification, viper etc. but at time don't be alarmed if suddenly your windshield wiper have been spooked w/o you doing anything, so can the A/C blower run even after key removed.
Why replace the FRM when the original can be repaired and it can be rectified on a bench ????
Everyone always throwing away used modules for no reason
Big Pyman What are the usual components and hardware on an FRM that are most commonly repaired/replaced on a bench? Asking genuinely... my FRM has just gone bust
Damn i wish i lived near u and we was friends i keep getting scammed everywhere my windows havent been able to roll up since july its now october 22 🤦🏼♀️ went to get my clutch changed $2800 later and 6days with no car only to go pick up car and realize windows dont work, signal light not working, interior lights etc. And says “foot module” went while changing my clutch? Not sure
If this is true as everyone just tells me diffent things everywhere i bring it, maybe cuz im a girl they see $$$$$ but so done with it all i jus need one machanic i can TRUST!!!! 😩😩🤦🏼♀️
Im in Ontario, Canada 😒
@@Teestar519 you need to invest in proper diag software! You need ista and inpa at least! Then not even the dealer can fool you. And to be honest it's 2021, with the internet and no real in person dealing it'd much like the usa army slogan..."be all you can be." Everyone's a guru. Haha. Get your own diag software. Saves a lot of time and misdiagnosis.
@@Teestar519 Carly obd will do wonders for you with diagnostic even with those modules, and it’s easy! But if you haven’t solved your FRM issue yet there are places that repairs them you just have to send it to them. Hope this helps !
im replacing my frm from my 2008 e92 with another frm from a 2008 e92, do i have to program anything?
I realize you posted this comment 8 months now
Did you ever find the answer to your question?
I have the same question
@@lyricsfromnick2077 kind of. I swapped the frm but never programmed it. Sold the car and the new owner kept in touch. He was more knowledgeable on bmws and he figured it out
Does my 2010 bmw 328i have frm2?
Jaden Jaden You definitely have the FRM2 at least. Might even have the FRM3.
Alex Bright thanks!
You don’t need to replace just needs to be re program
INPA is in German. Ugh. If you can read German great. If not, you have to really know what word(s) to look for. As far as setting the halo rings (angel eyes) to run 24/7, Carly is much easier. Reingold is in English.
Why did you need this for your 2008?
Dave Johnson My Footwell Module was shot, unfortunately. I’ve been having the issues for over a month now
13:26 Could somebody please type what he says here? I've seen this video's section a few times already and I cannot decode what he says and does... :/ I also tried the automated captions, but it says something like "if you have a J before, click the car ... make sure to put it in map zero" and then he shows the buttons...
If you have a JB4 piggy back, then you need to put it in map 0 before you start coding
Does my bmw 2010 328i have an frm2? Cause I need at least the 2 to code some things
