So now select "Process ECU", and select the INDIVIDUAL MODULE you want to code. NCS at this point is set to SG_CODIEREN, which means to WRITE to ALL modules listed. You will see all your modules listed, for example "EWS,ABG,ASC,KMB,APL.etc" and underneath "SG_CODIEREN" The default job in NCS is to write SO BE VERY CAREFUL here. Once you get the VO loaded, you hit the BACK button.

The next part is to download your factory settings in your car to your PC. Just understand the basics of individual coding first, then coding from your VO will all make sense later.ģ.
NCS EXPERT SOFTWARE CODE
The steps to add items to your VO and code your modules is different and i wont comment on that here, because it will confuse the amateur. Now this guide will touch on the basics to code INDIVIDUAL items on your car. ON POST-02 cars select any module with "A' in front of it, on PRE-02 the "A" modules wont work, you will need to use EWS or KMB for this step. For all intents and purposes this is referred to by me as the vehicle order or ZCS for a pre-02 car. ** PRE-02 cars, you wont see the long FA "VO" string, instead there will be a few lines FG, GM, VN, SA followed by numbers, its basically the same thing different format. You will actually select the desired module to code in later steps. It has no bearing!! all NCS is doing is reading the text/number string that is your VO off the memory in these modules in this first step.
Now that NCS Expert knows it, it can code your car properly!ĬODING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MODULE YOU JUST SELECTED TO READ THE VO FROM! This perplexed me for the longest time, I didn't understand why i selected two modules each time, or what the difference selecting AKMB or ALSZ or etc the first time was. When it is able to read it, you will see a long string next to "FA" starting with your chassis "E46_" followed by numbers and text along with #'s and $'s. if it doesnt load, or cant be accessed, no harm done, just try a different module. In most cases it will probably be in an "A" module. Why? because it needs to know your "vehicle order" information. Once it does this, it will ask you to select a module. Once the profile is loaded, you basically need to select Vin/ZCS/FA in order for ncs to download VIN info off your car. This has something called "manipulation" enabled. In order to code your car the first time, you should pick " revtors". if you dont have it, you can find it on the net easily. The two profiles i stick to are "expertmode" and "revtor's expert profile". These profiles just change how ncs expert behaves when you read your car. When you load NCS expert, you need to load a profile. The stuff below is basically identical however for individual parameter coding.ġ. Those cars have their ZCS (which acts like a VO) stored in the EWS or KMB modules. OK the one difference is pre-02 cars dont have a VO. you'll have to contact BMW so they can give you the VO for your car from their records. The chances of both modules failing is slim, but if it does. When you buy a new LSZ/LCM, you can retrieve all your settings of VO from AKMB and then code your new LCM to YOUR factory settings. For example ALSZ is the "light switch module" in your car, for some reason it fails. Why is it written into two places? because if one module is failed and has to be replaced, then the other will serve as a backup so you can code the new replacement module to your car. Its nothing more than a string of text/numbers stored in the flash memory of these modules, nothing special.
On my '00 328ci it was stored in EWS, KMB. In my 02 M3, the VO was written in ALSZ and AKMB. The VO is written into a couple modules of the car, usually ones that start with an "A", like AKMB or ALSZ. Why is it called ZCS you ask? because its abbreviated german, and its confusing as hell. Because each car is different with a different set of options/modules or country that its located, the "vehicle order" aka. This is like your car's DNA! for example if the car has a sunroof, or a convertible or radio etc etc and that it was meant for US,Canada,France etc. When BMW makes a car, they create whats called a "vehicle order", this is basically a bunch of numbers writen into the car that tell what modules are installed in the car, regional info etc. The first part to understand is what this stuff about ZCS/VO or "vehicle order" is.
NCS EXPERT SOFTWARE HOW TO
I am only going to elaborate on coding individual parameters, you can go learn how to code entire modules thru the VO later once you learn the basics below. On Pre '02 cars the coding is slightly different method than Post '02 cars. Please read it fully if you want to understand, this isn t exactly a quick cheat sheet guide.
