BMW coding near me - Cable & USB Coding For a more stress-free experience, it's often better to have the work done by a professional. While a coding shop will require you to take your car in for their technician to work on, BimmerTech's innovative BMW iDrive coding process means you can code your car quickly at home at a time you choose. The ABS Module for the XI e46 is in the 'drug bin' - this is the sectioned off area in front of the passenger side under the hood. It is called the drug bin as it is empty on the RWD e46 and folk stuff things in it.
Why need recode/code DSC control module?
Have the red brake light yellow DSC and red ABS on the dashboard. Seem to purchase a used module, so the VIN is wrong and does not match the vehicle. Or the module is new and needs programmed and initialized. BMW Scanner V1.4.0 Pa-soft will read coding data, but not able to decode. NCS-expert did.

Tools needed:
ICOM Rheingold engineering software INPA, NCS –expert (and others WinKFP, Ediabas etc)
WIFI BMW ICOM A2 emulator or BMW INPA K+DCAN cable

Code a used DSC module via NCS Expert:
BMW model example tested: E39 528iM and BMW E46 325CI. Not sure if it works on other models.
Install DSC module
Select File-> Load Profile
Select Expertmode
Choose F1: VIN/ZCS/FA
Choose F3: ZCS/FA f.ECU
Select File-> Load Profile
Select Expertmode
Choose F1: VIN/ZCS/FA
Choose F3: ZCS/FA f.ECU
Select Chassis: E39
Choose ECU, OK. NCS Expert is going to read VIN/ZCS/FA information from one of these modules. Choose IKE
NCS fills in vehicle data.
Choose F3: ZCS/FA f. ECU.
Choose F3: ZCS/FA f. ECU.
Below “get coded” seems to be a list of all the modules that can be coded.
Choose F4: Process ECU to code a SINGLE MODULE.
Choose ECU to be coded: DSC
Note “get coded” now shows only DSC.
(3) files to be used are shown below JOBNAME
Choose F3: Execute Job.
DSC coding completed.
DSC light on dash switched off.
EGS CAN bus speed error was no longer present after checking with INPA software. There were no new codes stored for DSC module.
If necessary, adjust/ initialize/ reset steering angle sensor via INPA software in the end.

Pre-coding information:
The modules installed in our car, encoded with the default options for the equipment (standard and optional) of the vehicle. This information is stored in one or more modules of our car and need to update it when you add or remove features of the vehicle.
For example, if install Xenon headlights in the car and the light module with the default options, it would be coded for halogen lights and not for new Xenon. So you have to update the information in the ZCS (Central Coding Key).
BMW currently use the VO (Vehicle Order) system, but in older cars the old ZCS system is used, as in the E39 and E46 produced until 08/2001. In this post we will focus only on the ZCS system.
Tools needed:
BMW ICOM Rheingold software NCS Expert
BMW ICOM A2 emulator or INPA K+DCAN cable
ZCS information is saved in FA modules:
Open NCS Expert software
In Menu, select “File” -> “Load Profile”
Select “ExpertMode” -> “OK”
Bmw E46 Coding
Press the “VIN / ZCS / FA” button.
Press “ZCS / FA f. ECU” button
Select chassis “E46” -> “OK”
ECU choose containing data “KMB” or “EWS” in the E46 -> “OK”
Vehicle information is displayed in next program
Add or remove options to our ZCS code:
You can find files under the codes “C: NCSEXPER DATEN ” directory with a name that follows the pattern “EXXZST.000”. For example that of the E46 is “C: NCSEXPER DATEN E46ZST.000”

0000000000: to add or subtract hexadecimal our number VN figure.

Therefore to add the option of BMW “HARDTOP” we have to add the number “0000000400000000” to our SA “00003A40C4BC74216” and to eliminate if we installed
GM: 646100006
SA: 00003A40C4BC74216 + 0000000400000000 = 00003A44C4BC74216
VN: 000A640628J
VN: 000A640628J
Now we only need to encode new information in the modules that store, in the case of E46 in “KMB” and “EWS”. NCS Expert will be used again.
Code a new ZCS code:
I retrofitted the original rear LED on my E46, we will encode the new order of our vehicle.
In the file C: NCSEXPER DATEN E46ZST.000 find the option to retrofit the LEDS:
H LEDH N0997 0001000000 00000000 0000000000000000 1 // Nachruestung LED_HECK Heckleuchten LED-E46 / 2 u. E46 / C Facelift
Open NCS-Expert and follow the steps in the previous section “Obtain information from our vehicle ZCS”.
Press the “Enter ZCS” button.
Select chassis E46
Press the “OK” button when we ask about our “VIN” leaving the default.
Our information “GM”, “SA” and “VN” appears.
Remove the last digit of the “GM”, “SA” and “VN”. Check the “Calculate Checksum” box.
We add “00000000” to “GM”, “0000000000000000” to “SA” and “0001000000” to “VN”.
Press the “OK” button. Press the “Back” button.
Now we will code modules that store information “ZCS”. In the case of E46 in the “EWS” and “KMB”
Press the “Change ECU” button and choose “EWS”.
Bmw Module Coding
Press the “Change job” button and choose “ZCS_SCHREIBEN”
Press the “Execute job” button to complete the coding.
Press the “Change ECU” button and choose “KMB”.
Press the “Change job” button and choose “ZCS_SCHREIBEN”
Bmw E46 Abs Module Coding Arduino
Press the “Execute job” button to complete the coding.
We have change the vehicle order and reset/retrofit the ZCS module. To verify that you have properly coded simply follow the steps in the previous point “Obtain information from our vehicle ZCS” And see if you changed the values correctly.
