recoded a replaced LMC with this.
285K miles and still love this car... tho is showing her age
thanks for the tutorial
Thanks for this video Evan. It was really clear and easy to follow.
I was able to replace my LCM unit with a used one and recode it without any hassle.
Thank you for posting your journey. Installed the lights & Light module.
Awesome guide thanks dude. I was able to retrofit automatic wipers and headlights, used your guide to reprogram the LCM and get rid of the tamper dot. Perfect.
fantastic work Evan - great video, very informative. keep up the good work
Great video man. Just checked my LCM on my 02 m3 and it happened to be sw 3.0.1. Just coded for leds 👍
This a whole class lesson
Thanks so much Amigo your Video Help me a lot....
Hey man so if my LCM is exactly software version 3.0, does that mean I can just code it for LEDs? You said below or above so not sure which category that falls under. Thanks!
excellent !
Great post. No tamper dot. Everything working fine, also coded triple-blink. Do yoy by any chance have an idea why my LCM does not track mileage anymore? I update it with the current dash mileage, but it wont sync afterwards, in the term that if i check after a month the LCM still has the mileage i previously entered on it. Thanks in advance.
@Evan Goyuk, can the same procedure be followed for say when replacing a gm5 module?
I have a 2000 528i and just got some upgraded LED taillights off of a 2003 530i. I was told that I would need to code the LCM but wasn't told about switching the LCM to code it. Would I still be able to get away with coding the original LCM for LED taillights or should I pull the LCM off the 530i?
Which cables and programs are needed to do the same? I watched the how to code your BMW video, but I didn't see the link to the cables/programs.
Hey Evan question for you my passenger side headlight got into a accident “Bi-Xeon” would I be able to purchase a after market halogen version and code it the same way you did would it would ?
after watching this i got oem tail lights lol
Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a 3.11 on my LCM. Does this mean I only need the DCAN cable and NCS Expert?
Does this also work to code in the auto headlights after changing the RLS to a newer version?
While using the scan tool, it reads "connection error with IKE" and "connection error with EWS" any ideas on how to fix this? The device ID is V144Bn9, I've read that I may need to bridge pins 7 and 8, or pins 1 and 2
hi my car is bmw 116i and it's been long since the lights, blinkers and windows not working. it still starting well headlights and tail light always on, is this can be that LCM is damaged or it can be that it needs to be reset?
I am going to change my h7 headligh bulbs with and LED one (and I think that more and more people are doing it). Can we code the LCM for LED headlights? and if so, how? :)
I’ve got a 02 325ci vert and I’m going to oem led taillights. Would I just need to buy the wiring harness or do I also need to code them ?
Awesome video, was a great help so far. One question though, I used BMW Scanner to code a new LCM to an '02 E39 525i Touring since the original one died. After writing Odometer and VIN, the tamper dot went away, but the "code FA data" option is greyed out for me. I still get error messaged in the dash about the air suspension being out of order. Yeah, no wonder, the car doesn't have it, but without copying the FA data from the IKE, I can't tell the LCM that there isn't any air suspension. Any idea why the copy option is not available?
My e46 had leds on it already so do I need still to get a new lcm ? My cars a 2001 convertible 330cu
Can you maybe tell me how that will work on my E46 convertible. It got an s65b40 with also the e92 ecu and and no e46 OBD anymore... should I program it in an other car and put it later in my car? Kind regards, Maarten
Hey bro quick question. I have 03 325i, cluster died, got a used 03 325xi cluster from junkyard. Is bmwScanner method also used to change vin and mileage in cluster? If possible, I want to avoid unsoldering and wiping chip. Also, is it necessary to take VO from LCM and overwrite VO from donor cluster?
Such a great mod. Thinking of doing it on my e46.
Highly recommend it. It is a bit pricey but if you shop around and go to junkyards it can be done for cheap. It transformed the rear of my car and it made it look so much newer. Considering some brand new 2018 cars do not even have led tail lights. Especially Since BMW had it back in 2003.
Hi
I don't see Edit Vehicle order in my INPA to add the +LEDH? Any idea why?
So I had to replace my LCM on my bmw. Is coding it required to work for my car
Hey brother so I just put some new tail lights on my 325i 2003 e46 and when I did I switched my bulbs to LED bulbs but now it’s saying that on the dashboard my two back lights are not working when they’re working how do i get my dashboard light off
I literally love your channel bro don't stop uploading ✊ 330ci gang
Thank you man
What if i want to put led position light bulbs in the front?
Will there be error?
ok.....i have a 325i 2002 and get an cluster of 330i.....can i code like that?
Great content. I have a 2004 330ci Facelift with adaptive bi-xenon headlights. I'd like to replace them with aftermarket LED lights. Will this tool change the coding for headlights also?
I tried to replace the fog lights with LED bulbs, burnt out both bulbs and popped the fuse. Will this fix this issue also?
Did you ever figure it out I’m having the same issue
hello when i plugged the bmw scaner the first page shows ews and ike, dont shows the lcm and i can pair it
Hey was wondering if you could help. I get to 10:40 part in your video is where i get stuck. I have an 03/01 M3.
I have no attributes when trying to add the +LEDH. And get and error message when trying to copy them. Back in PA soft my parameters are the IKE and the EWS not IKE and LCM. When i try to copy the coding over to the LCM in just lets me write it over the to EWS. Not sure what to do at this point
did you ever find out the problem? got the same one
Could you avoid using NCS by unticking the "cold check" and "hot check" boxes in PASoft's lighting section?
Hey @EvanGoyuk I went to buy the BMW Scanner tool from 'Zon but it says Works with XP but I see you're running 10 (through a VM I'm sure) is there any concerns?
It will work with win 10
Can i code to LED taillight even if i dont change Light module? i have 1999 coupe
Hi, I changed my DASHBOARD in my BMW E46 325CI 2001, the millage is not the same as I had it in the last one, how can I getback the original millage ??? thanks...
Hello,
I need help with instaling Mtech front bumper with fog lights. I didnt have fog lights, so i want to know how to wire them?
I have bmw E46 316i from 2000.
Is there any tutorial thats showing how to wire up this fog lights?
Thanks to everyone
Hello, thank you for the video. I need to change mine because it's faulty... If I get one with the exact same part number, and if I'm not worried about the tamper dot, will I still need to the programming stuff? Thanks
Yes you will still need to program it.
Great video mate! Very helpful. Just one quick question: I replaced the old halogen tail lights with new LED tail lights but haven’t replaced the LCM. Do i still need to get bmw scanner and code lcm like you did in the first part of the video or do I just use ncsexpert ?
Great question, if you didn’t need to upgrade your lcm since your car is 2003 or newer then you do not need to follow the part about bmw scanner. You can skip right to coding the new led tail lights with ncsexpert. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@EvanGoyuk hi mate.i love your videos as there so clear. my questions are similar as above as i have a 2006 e90 . i have fitted similar to these bulbs as low and high beams www.amazon.com/Mega-Racer-Bright-Headlight-Automotive/dp/B07HLZMY92/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1542236059&sr=8-16&keywords=led+bmw+h7 and also some small led bulbs as side lights and wondered first if this would work to remove the canbus error on my e90 , will all the codes ie "alsz" etc will be the same as in your video, and will i need to do the last bit where you did the sg_codieren bit. any help will be brill.thanks
@@EvanGoyuk hi mate I'm buying a used lights module. E46 m3 factory xenons . The part number is the same. Also do any other numbers need to match? Thanks.
I get 2 errors called: EWS connection error and IKE connection error and the K+DCAN cable only works for readong engine errors, nothing other. Do you know what might cause that? Still great Video!
Hey evan i know this video is kinda old but i have a quick question. I an 05 sedan that came with halogen headlights but i wanna swap them out with oem bi-xenon headlights. I understand that i need to do coding so the car knows it had the bi-xenons instead of the halogens so i wont get any light errors on the dash. My question is can i do this coding through carly bmw? Or will i have to download NCS expert?
Ncs expert
I have a BMW E46 325i (2004) and I just installed a pair of Spyder LED tail lights and they do not work. I thought it was sort of plug and play, will this tutorial solve it?
Not sure since the lights are aftermarket
Hey @evan goyuk, every one inpa+dcan cable that i see says in desc that it doesnt support bmw e46 models even one that you put in desc? Can i order one or not?
Order it as long as it has a switch it will work!
@@EvanGoyuk thanks😀
Hello Evan, I am also trying to install led tail lights on my e46 2002 sedan and I followed every step from your video, but I am getting only 3.6 V from lcm to tail light and LEDs do not light up. When I put halogen bulb it lights up but the voltage is again 3.6 which probably is not enought for LEDs...Do you have any advice? Thanks
Version of my LCM is 3.01
Same points can be followed to encode e39 LED tail lights?
Yes
Hey man, hope you reply... I need your help with 2 things... It says ews to lcm instead ike to lcm... And second thing in ncs expert when I click start and then to add +LEDH, everything is blank there is no chasis and under section "Add" also blank
Message me on instagram @evangoyuk
how do you turn your daytime running lights off and just keep the angle eyes on?
You need to code see my videos on coding
Hi can you please help me i need to code a new f10 controler
Hello Evan I have a Facelift e46 2005 convertiable, at present my LCM has three options, which is manual selection to turn my lights on. I understand that day light running can be coded on present LCM. My question is can I change my LCM to four options like your one in your video, so it automatically recognise day/night and switches on front/rear lights when in use to adapt to day/night?
You will also need the RLS sensor on your windshield . It includes both rain and light sensor.
Evan Goyuk is this sensor straight forward to change and code? And there a specific one that I look out for ?
The sensor is part of the windshield
Hi Evan, I’m starting to retro fit myself I have the taillights cables etc just not sure about the lcm I have the e46 m3 xenon sw 3.01 will this be compatible with the led after coding? Also I’m retro fitting oem xenon m3 headlights will there be a video on how to code these? I have a bmw 325ci sport coupe :)
Also Can this be done with Carly
I believe 3.01 will be okay but also no Carly with not be able to code everything
Is it work for that SW?
will unorginal aftermarket trunk lid lights work with original BMW taillights after programming? Right now I got aftermarket tail lights set which is faulty and I'm planning to change it to original BWW tail lights, however trunk lid lights works just fine and I would like to leave unoriginal ones. Do you think it will work? Or are they somehow "connected"?
Yes trunk lights aren’t affected
@@EvanGoyuk thanks bro, you helped me a lot!
Ok so if car is older than 2001 and you choose EWS, then you also should write FA to AEWS instead of AKMB?
Yes
Is it possible to code out the hot check for LED high beams? 2002 car, thanks
Yes of course
Great video!
I have a 2003 330ci build date is 1/2003
Should my Lcm be compatible for sure?
Also can BMW service shop flash it for me if it's the correct lcm for the leds?
Yes it’s compatible and yes they should be
@@EvanGoyuk ty :)
Can you post a link for Revtor's profile for NCS Expert?
For the psa software does it has to be that specific cable
Yes
Hi buddy can Carly be use to do this led tail lights coding
This is a great channel, I have one question though I have a 2010 E60, were would be a good source for the BMW scanner, you mentioned 1.6, I will be replacing the LCM.
Yes for the bmw e60 you need BMW scanner 1.6
@@EvanGoyuk were would we find the cable and software so far no luck
eBay or amazon
Thanks Evan!
I bought used instrument cluster years ago. Can I use Scan 1.4 to remove yellow dot.
Yes
@@EvanGoyuk Scan 1.4 say IKE has 35080 chip cannot change odometer on IKE
Thanks for video!
There is any possibility to add automatic lights on, on this module ?
You would need a new LCM
@@EvanGoyuk I'm sure of that, but I didn't found any with this function.
I would look on eBay
Man, please tell me. How your Auto Lights Function works. I bought this module? I have the rain sensor in the center of the front window. When I live mine in auto position it just turn the short beam as soon as I put the key in the second position, regardless of if is day or night , light or dark. It should put the lights on only if the outside light is low. Right?
I have an 03 facelift with LED rears that the previous owner put the wrong LCM on. Now have a tamper dot that my local garage couldn't code because it's totally the wrong part (non-auto)
I've sourced a used LCM with SW 3.01 but it's from a car with no LED's
Will I need to use both PA Soft and NCS to get it all working?
Yes! Follow my guide exactly it will fix this!
@@EvanGoyuk bugger, was hoping I wouldn't need 2 different cables and 2 different software programs
Job done. It took a whole lot more effort installing the device drivers on my laptop than it did re-coding the LCM.
One part of your video that nearly threw me was when you're going through the list of numbers and you say "pic the one that matches"
I didn't realise you meant the part number, which is on the LCM, which is in the car already. Once I sussed that I just picked the nearest number to it and the rest all worked.
I managed to click "clear error" and turn off the rear light warning but aware NCS is needed to properly work it.
One question ... just bought LED tail lights for my vert and one second hand LCM (from a 2004 vert wich comes with LED from factory) do I still need to code it for the LED or just for the tamper dot ? Thanks !
You need to code so it knows your cars options
And code it for tamper for
Ok , I see . I tried to buy one same like I have ... no xenon lights no auto function ... only the sw to be 3.6 .. and from a car with LED tail lights . The part is from a vert 2004 and will end up on a 2001 vert .
What coding I must do ? The same like you did in the video exept for the LED part right ?
Hi,
I know this is old but I programmed module but now low beam on drivers side does get power. Light works when external power is applied. Any pointers?
Did you follow the steps in NCSEXPERT too? It resets the module back to default settings
@@EvanGoyuk Yes, all other functions work, LCM not sending power out on the line to the drivers side low beam. Tamper dot cleared, software version 3.5 in module.
The LCM I have in my car is not on the list anywhere. I have a mismatch in mileage between the LCM and IKE but not tamper dot. When I try to write the mileage to the LCM I get the error "Dashboard contains M35080 chip. Function impossible."
Do I have an incompatible LCM? My LCM has 19 errors. The turn signals stop showing on the cluster as well as the high beams and other weird stuff happens all the time related to the LCM.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Hey ive been experiencing the same issues, did you solve this?
@@alexcook5008 I just said screw it and went through every algorithm until one worked.
I have to recode the LCM about every 200 miles or the difference between the LCM and IKE mileage gets too big and goofy stuff starts happening.
How do you tell which software version an LCM is, without plugging it in? Can you tell by the sticker on the LCM?
Yes the sticker says both hw and sw
Evan Goyuk where is the information, or how do you decode the information provided? Some have an obvious 31, 34, etc, but some have nothing close.
Can you do this using ncs expert and ncs dummy? I need to code out the tamper dot and code in the new lcm for my 2001 m3 I did the led conversion to. Thanks
You need both ncs expert and PA soft 1.4
Evan Goyuk do you have a copy of the software? Do I need the isaddle cable or can I use my k + dcan cable?
Selymon Shahsamand you need isaddle cable too unfortunately.
can u make another video for bmw e46 coding?(tutorial)
Yes
@Evan Goyuk - thanks for the detailed tutorial. I got through all the steps successfully but all my taillights (including the 3rd brake light) are stuck on. Any ideas?
What version is the light module?
@@EvanGoyuk software is 3.6. Hardware is 25. It’s sourced from a sedan though? Shouldn’t make a difference
No since we clear it out
@@EvanGoyuk My NCS expert menus didn’t load like yours for some reason (no “start” F1 or “VO/FA” F2 ) and INPA doesn’t show “cable connected” like yours did despite the other two dots being black. Maybe those programs are installed wrong? I can pull up the VIN info etc under the EWS ecu just fine (I have an early 2001). I give up lol might have to call a tech on this one :(
Did you load the profiles
Thank you very much for this video. I need to code an E46 used cluster using the original LCM. How can we do that with the scan tool?
Yes just set the LCM to the what ever the cluster has for mileage
@@EvanGoyuk Thank you very much for your help. Can i send the information from the LCM to the IKE ? The LCM is the one who has the actual miles and the correct VIN. Again, thank you very much.
Unfortunately you can’t rewrite the mileage to the cluster. It’s stored on the eprom. You could solder your old eprom to the new cluster
@@EvanGoyuk Thank you very much.
great info video. what is your email? i need some help on my e90, we swaped the engine for a good one, but it crank but no start. and i followed your video about how to install the software but i wasn't able to get it starded.
Do you have INPA, NCS Expert and ISTA on your laptop?
Yes
@@EvanGoyuk how do you run them at the same time sharing the same ediabas?
hey man i got 2 questions 1 how do i kno if the lcm is 3.0 or higher to code the led taillights ? and 2 ive had many problems trying to set up ncs expert i think i finally have it but i dont have the profile u used to code the leds all i have is ncs dummy profile
Hi, great video. I’m actually having a little trouble though. The very last step where you copy FA coding comes up for me as “IKE ->EWS” and not “LCM -> IKE” like you’re showing. Did I do something incorrectly? I clicked it anyways and it removed the tamper dot.
Also I’m having trouble downloading your link to ncsexpert profiles in your other video to install NCS expert tool. Do you have another link? The other 2 links installed flawlessly
Keep up the good work, great channel
Email me I can help with thisn
Evan Goyuk I was looking for your email but don’t see it listed anywhere
Under the about page you need to be on desktop to see it
Evan Goyuk Hey, ok email sent. Thanks
I'm having the same issue
Hello there, just quick question here, i bought identical light module that i had "HW and SW", do i need to change algorythm? I already programmed the vin number and milage, dot dissapeared, but no really sure if i have too or i dont
I would just change the algo to find a match. I believe it should find it
@@EvanGoyuk Just checked, looks like it was on blue, im assuming it was okay as it was. The other problem i have is i copied All the info from ike, looks like everything is empty there only Vin and milage are not blank. Any ideas how could i download and put those information back again ?
When you say download, you mean like your parameters in the trace file?
@@EvanGoyuk Yeah, i have only Milage and Vin, Everything else is empty, i know there are some sites where you can put Vin number and it will show all information about the car, so im assuming i can just get them from somewhere and put them back in there
What step are you stuck on? In side of ncsexpert?
I don’t have that NCS Expert profile
See my video on install Inpa
You have a video on how to enable day time running lights?
I have general coding videos but not specifically on this
@@EvanGoyuk Okay, I just purchased the cables and the scanner will I be able to stop my led side indicators on the headlights to stop flickering? I have an 04 330ci zhp
Yes!
@@EvanGoyuk okay thank you man I appreciate the help honestly
U Cant Code it with carly can u?
Hi. My BMW E46 Coupe 318CI 2001 have LCM in SW: 3.01 and HW: 15 and my question is will it work on this LCM?
It should
Did you ever learn how to make that PB&J sandwich? - thanks
No lol
Im unable to select copy FA coding, probably LCM module too old..
Have you ever figured it out? Mine's grayed out too...
What is SW?
@@EvanGoyuk Hi Evan! SW is 2.0.
For context, my original LSZ died and I replaced it with an exact match (down to the manufacturing code). I was using your video as a guide to get rid of the tamper dot (which worked after following your instructions and writing the odometer and FGSTNR!, thank you so much)! FA is grayed out though, and PA soft / Bmw Scanner still returns with "FA error" when initializing.
Another issue, that I assume is related, is that I can't read the new LSZ with NCS Expert (throws a "wrong ECU coding index" error), which I am assuming is related. Currently googling solutions to try out tomorrow.
Can you try another LSZ?
@@EvanGoyuk Hopefully in a few weeks (planning on getting a SW 3.6 too). I'm currently ruling out it being a defective LSZ though, because I'm also getting a similar error in NCS Expert when trying to read MK60 (ABS pump/DSC module got replaced as well, same story, replacement was an exact part number). They were both replaced at a indie (car was in for a bunch of repairs).
They were able to code in bi-xenons on the "new" module later though. Might have to pop by and see what they're using to code the modules and hopefully figure it out. Trying out a new LSZ would confirm or rule out if it's something to do with the way they coded these modules in. Do you have any ideas, in the meanwhile?
I just get a "vin is faulty" help!
Make sure the scanner is plugged into the car first
@@EvanGoyuk hey I found a way faster way to code the tail lights without the need of ncsexpert or 2 cables. By just using pa soft, after you finish the removal of the tamper dot process go into the lcm, select "coding data", select "light coding" (you'll see a bunch of check boxes), uncheck all of the cold checks for the tail lights and that's it you're done.
You are correct you can do that. However you are not coding the VO to the car which is not best practice!
You talk to much! Get to the point!
