Hello good day all,

I am going to replace this ecu, due to warranty reasons it was decided they wanted to install original new from BMW.

I have never coded a new ECU, are there any steps I should look for? How is the ISN matched with CAS on new DME. Is just encoding with NCS enough, or does it also need Winkfp flash? Couldnt really find the process for a new ecu, only cloning/using second hand, which I will not be doing.

Thanks in advance!

If old dme is still communicating, then record service counter for oil services and restore counter after programming and encoding.

Standard practice is to determine measures plan with ISTAp. If ISTA does not see a need to flash the DME, it must be manually selected to reflash it. ISTA will encode the module as well. Make sure not to leave the ignition on for more than 10 hours. Try to program and encode right away. MSV80 should have EWS4 so no need to perform sync with CAS.

New DME from BMW will already have known ISN from factory. If the CAS was tampered with and ISN was changed in the past, then it will need to be matched again.

Thanks for your reply, i will make a scan with ISTA/P to see if it needs flash, but is it mandatory? If not then I will save service data and just encode it with NCS. Then it should work right away? Learn injectors again with ISTA.

CAS is original, so im not scared about that. Its just like F/g series FEM/BDC with immo data already in it

you should overwrite the flash manually. Some DME's do not come with VIN's programmed correctly in all areas. UIF may be empty also. It also doesnt take more than 10 minutes to flash it, so there is no reason not to.

if i remember correctly, MSV80 does not have calibration for fuel injectors. Only MSD8x and newer.

Thank you again for the answers, I should flash with Winkfp to write vin, and then with tool32 write uif if im correct?

winkfp does not choose correct program number without using KIS to determine it. Use ISTA/p if possible to determine correct programmed part number first and then you can use WINKFP with that number.

Once more thank you, i have to determine the right ZB number is what you mean?

I am also installing a brand new msv80 for my 2011 323i. But I almost need to install ista and standard tools from scratch. Is it possible to get these programs for Mac? Im just afraid of selecting the wrong data for the car cause I have so many files on my pc. Please let me know how you went about your install and programming. Thanks

i dont think those tools are available on Mac, install windows with bootcamp and get ISTA/P 3.71

I strongly recommend to use AOS ISTA/P, specially if threre are some warranty issues! Forget any winkfp etc etc playing, my advise.
Ista/p wil take care about everything and correctly.
If new dme is faulty, log files in Germany will show that, and You will get a new one without any crying.
