URGENT HELP REQUIRED - R56 Mini - DSC replacement - COAPI-1000 error

URGENT HELP REQUIRED - R56 Mini - DSC replacement - COAPI-1000 error
I'm trying to code a replacement DSC unit on an R56, the part number of the replacement unit is the same as the old unit.

I have flashed the DSC with ISTA-P no problems but it won't encode it, I get a "Global Communications Error" (using a DCAN as this is being done remotely for a friend).

If i try to access the car with NCS Expert, once I have read the VIN out and press "Back" I get COAPI-1000 error and can go no further. I've tried several different FA files but the same result occurs.

In INPA and TOOL32 the DSC has 1 error stored "Incorrect coding" - I can run TOOL32 jobs on the DSC but I cannot write the correct VIN to the DSC usung TOOL32 - perhaps this is the key issue?

ISTA-D reports that the DSC needs flashing but this has been done already. I have not tried with an ICOM as that would require me to send my unit to my friend and I need that for my own use.

Does anyone have any clues to what is the problem?

I will post the NCS logs later today.

Thanks in advance

No, with ISTA-P.

It flashed the DME, CAS, KOMBI & DSC + Encoded all ECU's but the DSC failed Encoding with "Global Communication Error"

DSC on 2nd Generation Minis can be coded only by ICOM.

Ok, I'll ship the ICOM off to him and try that, many many thanks.

Try with winkfp.
Even with d-can, i've been able to flash it with winkfp, although with ncsexpert it did not work.

ISTA-P flashed the DSC sucessfully, it was just the Encoding - that would malke sense now if they cannot be coded with a DCAN in NCS either.

Seems strange how on an e90 for example, coding a DSC is no problem with a DCAN cable....

Yes, Coding is missing.

I cannot get to the screen in NCS to see the other ECU's - it just gives me the COAPI-1000 error.

I will try with the ICOM tomorrow to code with NCS, ISTA-P and if required WINKFP.

thanks and rep added to all who have helped.
