Hello!
Can someone please post a little guide on how to update the VIN with winkfp?

I found this, but don't know if its same on all BMW models like R56 mini cooper.

Hi guys, have not tested the option of changing VIN or ISN in the ECU but what I know for now, the E/F Scanner has a pretty old version of Explorer software and I only could read properly the CAS in the cars which were never updated.

BMW Explorer can´t all ecu update vin. It´s not a help/tool for all.

Cas can be reeded on table with programmer, change file manually and write program back.

Which bmw do you have?which cas?cas3..cas4?you can do it manualy but cas4 more dificul

I have 9226238 cas3 - but winkfp didn't list it

[rs@chip]

Then you do it manualy no problem..I do it with r270 or x-prog..

There are usually two VINs in the CAS eep, the full VIN, and a short VIN in the user info field.
WinKFP will write a new VIN in the User Info field which will show in some diagnostics, but it isn't good enough, so manually changing the VIN is what you need to do.

Changing VIN will not solve the problem, you need to change ISN /SK.
ISN is 4 digits and can be found in ECUs below 2006.
Sk is 32 digits (128 bits) and can be found in newer models (MSV80, MED17,...)
You must buy a good tool to help you in this, only few tools can do this job perfectly.
