Quick video explaining how to code an E39 using NCS expert and dummy. 2 items in particular as requested, but the same method can be used for any other module.
Thanks for the info, Ben. I have an '03 e39 530i in which I replaced the ABS module with a rebuilt unit (not my original). Unfortunately the rebuild was coded for an automatic trannie and not my 5-speed - and thus my DSC remains disabled. Can you possibly point me to which coding module to access to change that option? I have already installed all the BMW Tools & I have the K+DCAN cable, so I should be set to go.
hi, which cable do you use? i have a 1999 e39 535i with the obd1 under the hood in the engine bay and one obd2 under the light controllmodule. Which one did you use for coding? greetings from deutschland
From what I understand, you would use the one under the hood. I have a 2000 528i and i can access all modules using the round connector under the hood. I will be doing some diagnosing today and will report back
As long as there is a round connector on your BMW, you always should use this one. Because not all of the ECUs are accessible through the OBD2. This changed once the OBD2 became standard in about 2002 and simultaneously the old round connector was no longer included.
Thanks for video. Today I read Ecu from my E39 and module- RAD is not in list, but I use monoblock radio. Why? Also, I have two modules- Mid+Type_Dec. But on MID, I dont see frecuense and time... So, I use only monoblock Radio... Best regards from Minsk, Belarus!!!

I have a 525i and the key won’t even turn to start it will I still be able to use my laptop with it
Unlikley, you need to have power to the dash etc to get it to read
Can this be done just with NCS Expert? I want to disengage auto lock.
Not sure, I assume it can be but you have to make sure your adjusting the right thing
@@benhawkes111 why did you use NCS then switch to PA Soft?
Hey, can you make a video, how to solve “vin is faulty” problem? Or at least explain how to make it work
I have this same issue please let me know if you figured it out
@@daniel-rz6bd Try to use obd connector from engine bay
Is it best to use with the engine bay round connector or would a usb obd2 work also for e39 540?
I think it depends on the age of your car, this was on the inside obd port, but some cars you have to use the round one for certain modules!
@@benhawkes111 awesome thanks I got a 98 so I suspect round plug best
@@BLue87CrxSi yeah mine is a 2003 and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the round plug
Do you have a link to download ncsdummy that you can share?
You want mike's easy BMW tools, easiest way to get it all working
