Hey James, Just want to thank you for posting the vid, its definitely helpful having the simple basic steps to at least get in and have a look. I watched your other vid on clearing adaptations so was happy to see you made a new one! If you have time could you let me know what the basics of the modules are, at least the abbreviations, like BC being body control etc. Thanks again mate excellent vid!
Super! thanks for the video, I'm just in R52 and this will help me a lot. it's an ot, but can you please tell me more about the mobile phone holder I see in the video? I'm struggling in finding something nice/efficient. thanks
Hi, great vid! I’m looking to add the twin dials (but without the chrono pack central dials, keeping the big speedo). I understand that it is plug and play but also that to get the warning lights to work properly I was told you need to code it to twin dials - is this an option you can set with ncsexpert?
Thanks for the video! What I’m struggling to figure out, is how to re-program an used BCM, replacing my water damaged original. I can’t seem to find a video that shows the full process with WinKFP to reprogram a replacement (used) BCM (same part number) for the R53/52.
So, is this the same programming system to set up the chrono pack for the R53. Ive already ordered my gauges and heard i have to get them programmed. Pre face-lift model.
I have an 2007 R56 base non turbo that I replaced the transmission. Would I just need to update the vin# in the code to my vin. Car cranks but won’t start after tranny replacement.
Hi good morning I would like to know if you could help me with my mini cooper I change the ecu and it was for an automatic and mine is stick so computer trying to communicate but is not there so it send a check engine. Can you help with this?
Hi! Do you know what is the line code for automatic front lights ? I have the beam and the sensor but the light are always on.. never turn off even during daytime
Hi, I wonder if you can help, Im trying to add a multifunctional steering wheel from a non button wheel in a 2017 Mini F57, I have Bimmercode and got volume working but thats all HELP!!!
This worked for me really chuffed. Only thing I’m struggling with is find which program will just read faults as I bought a laptop with all the stuff of it on eBay it’s very confusing
@@airoh11 it’s all new to me. I followed your steps and it worked perfect. I will look what’s on it as it’s jam packed full of stuff and hopefully find the correct mini code reader on it
mohammed ali you can find the kit on eBay with the software and cable. I used just a old laptop that runs Windows XP. I found this software prefers to run better on xp.
Hello! Can you help me in one problem please? I installed a remote engine start and I need to code it to lock the car with key in ingnition (key chip near ignition antenna) I can’t Find the line for coding in BC1… There is Any solution? Thanks a lot!
With this could i say, have it ignore my steering wheel airbag since i have an aftermarket wheel and no airbag the light is constantly on. Also i ripped out my steering angle sensor accidentally when adding the wheel could i code that out as well with this
Hi James .. great video.. it was a lot of help for ncs expert .. just a question or 2 .. my abs pump needed replacement and I did that .. the problem I have now is that the traction control light is permanently on.. my question is .. is it possible to recode the unit to remove or turn of this light and restore the traction control.. can this be done in ncs expert and do a restore to factory in it .. I would appreciate and input or a video even better .. again a great video .. by the way it’s a Mini Cooper R50 01 plate ..
Hi Ian. Have you done a fault read? Is it a abs light? As it could be wheel a sensor or do you have a traction control light on? Iv not seen a r50 with traction control before maby this was a optional extra you have? What abs unit did you replace it with as there are normal ABS units for the cooper and w/ASC & wDSC options throughout pre and facelifts models depending on the cars spec. These one found in the cooper s are slightly larger than the r50 abs unit. There is a dsc option in ncs dummy & expert, the module mk60, but Iv never touched any of this. Sorry I can’t be of much help.
Hi James. When reading EWS, NCS says the vin is faulty. I do Have the r50 Daten files however i must be missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated. Great Video by the way, keep it up!
I fixed it by going to Device and printer, fix the problem with trouble shoot, then go to Device manager>ports>update if possible>right click on the usb port> properties>portsetting>advance>make sure com port is on 1 and latency timer 1> ok and now try again of it works
ciao james, complimenti per i tuoi video , sei bravissimo , ti chiedevo per codificare il corpo farlallato mini cooper s r53 , posso usare NCS EXPERT e come faccio ad identificare il modulo . Grazie se mi puoi aiutare.
Hello can you tell me if there's a coding that could be shut off the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob this way? I had to make a new key fob to start and run the car but the buttons don't work no matter what I do. I have a 2010 mini cooper s r56 Can you help direct me what module that would be under to see if it's disabled or enabled,
Hey James, thank you very much for your simple explanations, it's very helpful. I want to know how can I activate cruise control after installing an R56 retrofit multifunction steering wheel.
Hi mate no Bluetooth adaptors. You need the blue k-line obd2 to USB cable for the r53. The r56 needs the silver D-Can cable if you want to connect to it. Both can be bought for £5 each on eBay or amazon
virgilio668 the k-line will work with cars from around 1996 to 2007. But yes the k-DCan cable is two in one and can switch the pins so it can communicate between k data line and DCan. I don’t use the k-dCan cable however it should work if u get one.
The easy way is to get the software from ebay and it can be found fairly cheep at around £20. Then just buy the K-Line (Blue) cable or the K+Dcan cable(Silver). I bought the bmw software kit with cables from bmwdiagnostics on ebay. However you can also find INPA and Ncs Dummy/Expert for free on bmw forums but you will need to also find the daten files for the R50/R53 for it to read that model.
i cannot connect at all always says chassis is faulty and i dont have that options at all when i click load profile options that i have are default profile and dummy nothing else like you

This really helped thank you
Thanks a lot men.
A great tutorial, I’ve followed all your steps and successfully coded my R50.
PS: You got yourself a new Sub!

Thanks for the info. Can this software or inpa be used to code another ecu to a r53 I have one with a failed ecu and want to use a 2nd hand ecu

I can’t seem to find a video that shows the full process with WinKFP to reprogram a replacement (used) BCM (same part number) for the R53/52.
I'd love to know if not I gotta send both bcm's out
did you ever figure out how? i have a similar situation :(
You only have to reprogram the keyless entry. The rest will work if similar part number BCM.
So, is this the same programming system to set up the chrono pack for the R53. Ive already ordered my gauges and heard i have to get them programmed. Pre face-lift model.
Can this software enable original xenons fitted on my mini as they are strobing
thankx alot mant
i changed my ABS module just want to code it now could you please tell what ABS module called in NCS expert ?
I have an 2007 R56 base non turbo that I replaced the transmission. Would I just need to update the vin# in the code to my vin. Car cranks but won’t start after tranny replacement.
Do you carry out key fob programming and if so, how much do you charge for mini cooper s 2009
Hi good morning I would like to know if you could help me with my mini cooper I change the ecu and it was for an automatic and mine is stick so computer trying to communicate but is not there so it send a check engine. Can you help with this?
will this work with 2012 r60 for coding multifunction steering wheel?
I will try it with r50 2001, i want follow home lights and confiot with remote, thanks from Spain
Can you show, how to connect to KMB and edit belts? :)
Can this activate the obc trip computer on an R56 JCW ?
Thanks

INPA Bmw software will read and clear faults. Some places on Bmw forums can be found for free.

i cannot connect at all always says chassis is faulty and i dont have that options at all when i click load profile options that i have are default profile and dummy nothing else like you
Have a search for the revtor profile ncs expert on Google and install that. Also make sure u have the latest daten files for the R50/R53
I get a message all time vin is faulty
there is no option to Activate the OBC how do i do it there was no option on yours either @JCW JAMES
