F56 pre-LCI or LCI LED lamps retrofit nightmare

XSMini  F56 pre-LCI or LCI LED lamps retrofit nightmare
I'm going banans with retrofit of front LED lights (LCI and pre-LCI) to 2015 F56 Cooper D and not planning to add LWR


Whatever I do below errors always come back on BDC with effect that only indicators are not working at all ( not even blinking fast)

BDC - Body Domain Controller
80418A -> Output, front left indicator faulty
80418B -> Output, front right indicator faulty
80418D -> Output, right auxiliary indicator faulty

What I did thus far:

1. Rear LCI lights retrofit withe HELC - works perfect
2. Added 5A2 to VO and coded BDC and lamps ECU's on pre-LCI hardware
3. Disabled LWR via FDL
4. Updated whole car to 07.2022 iLevel
5. Replicated point 2 and 3 with K552(retrofit of LCI adaptive lamps) on LCI headlamps
6. Tried 5A4 coding just to check if anything changes but still exactly the same errors return
7. Fooled around with BDC FDL coding
8. BDC exchange to 2017 F15's and got stuck in exactly same place

I've read that car BDC might be not compatible hence I took one that I had lying around from F15 2017 with 524 and all round cameras plus parking assistantand cloned Mini BDC to it. Then programing it via ESYS and coded. Outcome is exactly the same as on ori BDC. 

Happy to pay for support with solving my MINI nightmare retrofit smile

you may need to code the bdc module using a fa from an lci car. Or try to increase the manufacturing date

Mine bastard is XN31, should I go for LCI typecode ?

Most defenietly will give it a go, somhow did not think about that.

My only doubt is why pre-LCI headlamps are not functioning properly after adding 5A2 on a pre LCI car.

RE: F56 pre-LCI or LCI LED lamps retrofit nightmare
you need to use Fa lci for coding. I sent you 1 pm

- Secure coding (NCD 2.0) fit to FA changed (Typschlussel, Serie, Region...).
- Remove component protection MGU18/21 (only case BDC replace).
- ID8.5 (SFA) conversion/ change region map.
- Virgin Kafas4, MRR, RAM used.
- Mgu patch, fsc custom match to vin, remove CP.
- Reset ISN 7DTC, 8HP for F, G serie (include EGS7).
- Write ISN MG1/MD1 with remotely.
- Carplay/Android Auto MGU with/without ATM (6AE).

You dont need fa of lci for coding. It is easier than you think yet it all depends on what type of lci you are fitting….just changing date is enough but you must do fdl coding…

Indicators are not workig at all, so how disabling checks can solve this ?

I'm installing 5A2 - LED lights (non adaptive ones). I have three sets of lamps now:

- original halogen
- pre-LCI LED
- LCI LED

Now on the car I have installed pre-LCI lamps and VO coding for such - just added 5A2 to VO and coded BDC and LED drivers in lamps. Then I disabled LWR via FDL. Outcome no indicators.Please see part numbers.

I can instal LCI headlamps if this could be easier to address.

I will reach out to you once I'm in my garage if time diffrence wont become a problem since I'm located on CET zone.
