Although you might need to code the ccc first and change his vin number, prior to update the software… it all depends on which approach you are go into use. Software update is not the same as coding… but you already know that. Thats why it dont save the personal settings:( You need to have it coded to the car FA… in other to assume all the car specs and options… I have change my CCC (the old one has the reboot Bug 😀 ), but now it dont save the bass / trebble / Fader / Balance and other settings 🙁 i go wild XD

Here are frequently-asked questions and answers i put them below. This way is in my opinion, the EASIEST way… Done! Your CCC is now matched to your VO (the options on your car).Select the next module you need to code (CHOST) until all five are coded.

Select the first module you need to code (CGATE), see explanation below.

Optional: Make a backup of your FSW_PSW.TRC in /WORK folder (Google it) You can do that by reading some fault codes, testing seat buckles etc.

Get to know the software and make sure your connection to your car is good.

This is the most difficult step, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Menus are missing because your new CCC is matched to a different VO. For example, a car with Logic 7 has “$677” in the VO, a car with HiFi instead has “$676”. The VO is a string of text with information about what options your car have. Some background: Your car has a VO (Vechicle Order), also called FA which I think is the german translation. If you think it difficult, there is a EASY way to do this in NCS expert (much easier than the process in this video) to to recode your new CCC unit to your car. In this video I will demonstrate how to code the module to the car. The original CCC was completely dead, the diagnostic machine could not establish communication with the module or sub modules of the CCC,to I was show you this “no communication”, but run out time… This is for your information: The video and write-up really clear a lot of coding steps and questions of how to use BMW ICOM NCS Expert to install and code/program a CCC (Car Communication Computer), on a 2005 BMW E60 545i.
