BMW ICOM ISTA-D ISTA-P software HDD comes with BMW standard tool (INPA, EDIABAS and WinKFP) and other engineer programming software. ECU update is completed, ZUSB-Update programming OK. Exit BMW ICOM WinKFP software and disconnect BMW ICOM a2+b+c diagnostic.

Which tool is better for BMW E46 ZCS coding? BMW ICOM NCS Expert or Vpecker Easydiag diagnostic tool? Basic info: ZCS information is saved in FA modules: Option 1: E46 ZCS Coding with You can use a cheap or emulator to run with NCS Expert Open NCS Expert software In Menu, select “File”, then “Load Profile” Select “ExpertMode”, “OK” Then “VIN / ZCS / FA” Then “ZCS / FA f. ECU” button Then “E46”，“OK” Then “KMB” or “EWS” in the E46, “OK” Vehicle information Add or remove options to our ZCS code: You can find files under the codes “C: NCSEXPER DATEN ” directory with a name that follows the pattern “EXXZST.000”. Here: “C: NCSEXPER DATEN E46ZST.000” 090 0000000 1 // HARDTOP Hardtop in body color 060 0000000 0 // Voice Control (Telephone) 060 0000000 0 // Preparation for car telephone installation 050 0000000 0 // light automatic / Daemmerungsschalter f.

Headlight from 9/01 060 0040620 1 RADIO_NG / / BMW Professional CD54 What these numbers stand for: 0982: BMW Options 00000000: hexadecimal to add or subtract from our GM figure number. 000000: to add or subtract hexadecimal our toll SA figure.: to add or subtract hexadecimal our number VN figure. Therefore to add the option of BMW “HARDTOP” we have to add the number “000000” to our SA “00003A40C4BC74216” and to eliminate if we installed GM: 646100006 SA: 00003A40C4BC74216 + 000000 = 00003A44C4BC74216 VN: 000A640628J Now, encode new information in the modules that is stored Code a new ZCS with NCS Expert: Retrofit the original rear LED on E46, encode the new order of our vehicle. In the file C: NCSEXPER DATEN E46ZST.000 find the option to retrofit the LEDS: H LEDH N0900 000000 1 // Nachruestung LED_HECK Heckleuchten LED-E46 / 2 u. E46 / C Facelift Open NCS-Expert and follow the steps in the previous section “Obtain information from our vehicle ZCS”. “Enter ZCS” E46 “OK” when “VIN” leaving the default.

“GM”, “SA” and “VN” information Remove the last digit of the “GM”, “SA” and “VN”. Check the “Calculate Checksum” box. Add “00000000” to “GM”, “000000” to “SA” and “” to “VN”. Then “OK”and“Back” Go to code “ZCS” modules; information is stored in the “EWS” and “KMB” “Change ECU”, “EWS”. “Change job”, “ZCS_SCHREIBEN” “Execute job”to complete the coding. “Change ECU”, “KMB”. “Change job”, “ZCS_SCHREIBEN” “Execute job” to complete the coding.

Have changed the vehicle order and reset/retrofit the ZCS module. Then, check it – just follow the steps to“Obtain information from our vehicle ZCS” And see if the values are correctly or not Option 2: E46 ZCS Coding with Vpecker Easydiag BMW Coding/Program BMW >>Coding/Program ZCS/FA CODING BMW >>Coding/Program >>ZCS/FA CODING IMPORTANT: With coding by means of the ZCS/VO, the changes made using the CAR/KEY the CAR/KEY MEMORY program can be overwritten. These are to be reset as required. Select models E46 Display coding code worked well on E46 ZCS/FA coding!

Hi E39forever, What is it you'd like to acheive? 'Chips' is now a very out dated term, but it still sticks around for some reason!

Nowadays it's ECU Re-mapping and when done properly by experienced, top end and reliable tuning houses, the results are good. On a petrol engined car, the beneifts are smoother throttle response, elimination of flat spots in the Torque curve. Vids iv32 decompressor codec. These will combine to make the car feel better, the engine smoother in it's power delivery. A 'side' benefit is that on something like the 540i, you'll perhaps gain 10-12 bhp or so. Fuelling, timing and other ECU parameters are changed and optimised to provide this upgrade. The very best results are obtained when you combine a re-map with a few other choice mods, perhaps an air intake, full exhaust system etc.

If you are looking for bags more power and torque, then this isn't the way forward. Cheers, Dennis! West London UK! Dinan is on sale right now for $399, I'm in the same position as you are - 97 non sport auto 540 limited to 130mph. That's mainly why I want to get it done, also it does work a little and 6400rpm limiter is not a gimmick either. Not saying I'll be sitting at it all day, or do 160mph for that matter - but flashes do work, and do add enough power for you to feel a little more 'pep' if you will. With 3.38 gears I could use the limiter raise too let me know if you find anything good out or get it done, i want to get my mine updated soon!
