Here’s the instruction help you check/know if his BMW car’s base control unit DME MEVD has been updated or not, especially for the new cars just bought. There is a way to tell it in BMW INPA software.

I have a 2011 135i but I got it recently and don’t know if it has been updated or not. Is there any way to tell? If it has been updated, do I just need a different number than what’s listed in the table?

NOTE from those with experience says in the forum:

"Experience has shown that MEVD1726 isn’t flashable.
That means all Cars Build after 03/2012 are not flashable.
That also means that the Green Numbers in Table are to ignore.

SoDon’t flash if your car is after 2013 or got Update by Dealer after 07/2012!”

You need to check with INPA software. Just buy a Chinese INPA K+DCAN cable. INPA will be sent together.

Here’s what it looks like on my 2011 135i.

Your INPA may look a little different and you may need to press different ‘F’ buttons to get to the same place depending on version and scripts but the info below should hopefully get you to where you need to be.

First, connect to the car with INPA and you should see something like this – like I said above yours may look a little different

Here, its then shift + F7 to get this

Then double click ‘Functional jobs’ to get this

Then press F3. The next screen gives you details for each module and, as you can see below, I update my DME/DDE with Zsub 8639122 on 10.08.2015. This is the date you need to check.

This wasn’t actually to flash the PPK but to move me from BMW ROM 9780B which could not be flashed with a BEF to BMW ROM 98G0B which I could flash.

If you want more detailed information about each module, from the first INPA screen press shift + F7 to get this

Then select Engine and double click ‘MSV 80.0 for N52KP (NG6) to get this

The press F3. As you can see below, this will give you further information about your DME including Zsub, when it was updated and ROM version

Done!

Hope it helps.

There are three popular software options for BMW E series in the market,BMW INPA software, NCS Expert and Bavarian technic (BT); so which one is best for auto diagnosis, coding & programming on E series? Here are what the users think of, talked about in forums.

Part 1: NCS expert vs Bavarian technic software

I have the enthusiast version of the bav tool…it’s more user friendly. Can’t do coding….professional version may though

The type of "coding” the BT tool refers to in the Professional version is the ability to back up the coding of a module and to restore it into a new module for replacement.

It doesn’t do theadvanced coding like NCS Expert can. However, with all the information coming out now on coding and how to handle official retrofits with NCS Expert and such, I wouldn’t be suprised if BT started working on getting into more advanced coding before too long.

Part 2: INPA vs BT

INPAwill tell youwhat the code is and why, just like BT.

You can even google the error code and get a more in depth explanation.

BT Tool doesn’t work on 2011 cars.INPA does…

To do stuff likedigital speed and key fob coding, i use theinpa cableas I don’t think the Bav Technic cable is capable of stuff like coding besides programming your battery and minor other things….

Part 3: INPA/ NCS expert vs Bavarian technic

BT is simpler to use but I prefer INPA/NCS expert. I also use DIS and it is really easy to use as well. TheBT enthusiast tool (the cheaper one) can’t do coding. You can clear codes with it, though.
My preference isINPA/NCS expert/DIS. You cando everything and more with them over BT. And once you have them set up, you can do some pretty coolcodingas well. Good luck!

TheBT tool can’t really do any coding.
I tried to code my drl with the BT tool and always got an error.
once you are comfortable withNCS-Expert/Inpa you can do so much more cool stuff with it.

Conclusion:

INPA/ NCS Expert can do everything for BMW E series (INPA is a factory diagnostic program, NCS expert is factory coding), while BT cannot do coding but for basic diagnosis.

Here’s a user solution to change odometer from miles to km on BMW E-series byusing NCS Expert step-by-step.

Instruction:
Part 1 – NCS Expert read miles
1. Connect your cable (BMW INPA K+DCAN cable or BMW ICOM A2 emulator) to your vehicle’s OBD II port and to your computer. Your vehicle’s ignition should be in the ON position, but your engine does not need to be running.
2. Launch INPA and verify that it reads Battery: ON and Ignition: ON. You should also have a program called "EDIABAS Server” running in your task bar. If everything checks out, close INPA.
Leave the server running.
3. Open "C:\NCSEXPER\WORK” and create an empty text file named "FSW_PSW.MAN”. I just use NOTEPAD for this.
4. Launch NCS Expert. Go to File -> Load profil and select "Revtor’s NCS Expert Profile”, click OK.
5. Select "VIN/ZCS/FA” then "ZCS/FA f. ECU”. This will tell NCS Expert to attempt to read your VIN from your vehicle’s ECU so you don’t have to type it in.
6. Select your chassis from the list and click OK. Then select which module you want NCS Expert to read your VIN from. Usually the first choice is fine. Click OK again to have NCS Expert read your VIN. You should see the CHASSIS, FG, and FA fields populated in the top part of the NCS Expert window.
7. Select "Back”, then "Process ECU”. You will be prompted to select a module. Select the module you want to read values from(in this case KOMBI OR AKMB) and click OK. Click OK again on the window that appears to return to the main NCS Expert window.

8. Select "Job” and choose "CODIERDATEN_LESSEN” from the menu. This will change the job from one that writes to one that only reads data. Many of the job names look very similar. Always read job names carefully to ensure you select the correct one.
9. At this point NCS Expert is relatively harmless, as all it can do is read from your car. Select "Execute job” to begin reading from your selected module. When you see "Coding ended” below the module name, the process has completed.
9. Once NCS Expert has read data from a module, it stores that data in a file called
"FSW_PSW.TRC” (called a "trace file”) in the "C:\NCSEXPER\WORK” folder. This file contains some general information about your car, as well as all the values currently stored in the module you read from.

Part 2 – NCS Expert write odometer from miles to km

1. Open "FSW_PSW.TRC”(you can use NOTEPAD) and find the field you wish to modify. Trace files are formatted as:
   FIELD_NAME
   field_value
   2. Change the field value(s) to your desired settings(this is where you look for the WEG_EINHEIT field name, and change value to "km”), then save this file as "FSW_PSW.MAN”, overwriting the empty one you created earlier.
   3. If you closed NCS Expert, follow steps 1-6 in the section above to get back to the correct screen. Otherwise, NCS Expert is ready to code your module as soon as the job is changed back to the default, "SG_CODIEREN”. Do this by selecting "Job” and then "SG_CODIEREN”, then click OK. Verify that the correct job appears in the "JOBNAME" field.
   4. Click "Execute job” to have NCS Expert write the information from FSW_PSW.MAN to your vehicle. When you see "Coding ended” below the module name, the process has completed.
   Depending on what you coded, you may need to turn your car off and back on again to verify the desired feature/behavior has taken effect.
   5. Open "FSW_PSW.MAN” and delete its contents. Save and close the file.

That’s all about BMW E series odometer change, from miles to km, using NCS Expert coding software.

Hope it helps!

You need to have a valid ICOM A2 license or ISTA-P loader, to enable the BMW ICOM A2 firmware to work well with ISTA P v3.59;

That is,

ICOM A2 requires valid firmware license.

If you have no license, just update firmware to latest version and use ista-p loader v4.9 (v5.x discontinued).

Free download

ISTA P Loader (for those with ista p but data is gone)
