Show you how to update the BMW DME with WINKFP

I would show how to update the BMW DME with WINKFP as follows.

Note:this is do on a cloned CSL DME that I made and turned to a brand new virgin DME for flashing purposes. It is done with a bench setup so not on a car, but it works exactly the same if it is on a car.

Tools to prepare and basic steps:
-Working BMW Engineering TOOL–WINKFP (Built in Rheingold ista-d ista-p)
-Load the correct data files which is obtained from ista-p or commonly found online as Daten packs-you need the E46 Stuff (if I recall correctly the last lot of the DME updates were back in 200.
-Now hooks your car up to a battery tender!!!!!!! As the whole process takes about minutes to does on a reasonably fast laptop and if you have a crap battery and the Volta GE drops below 13.8V during flashing you ' ll brick your DME.

Instruction:
Step 1, Setup WINKFP correctly.
Step 2, Launch WINKFP and you ' ll arrive at the-screen, click "Comfort Mode"

Step 3, click "Choose zusb"

Step 4, Find MSS54 and then the ZB number of your desired tune-in the screens shot below I ' ve picked ZB 7837334, which is The updated version of what's on my car (Vmax unregulated without EOBD data):

Quote:
ZB numbers (bracket is software number):

Japan version
-7837338 (7837339)-V-max unregulated
-7837336 (7837337)-Standard JAP version software

EOBD variants
-7837328 (7837329)-Standard EOBD version
-7837330 (7837331)-EOBD V-max unregulated

Data Record without EOBD variants
-7837332 (7837333)-Standard non EOBD version
-7837334 (7837335)-V-max unregulated

Step 5, press F4 and enter your VIN number

Step 6, the screen would populate with the VIN you ' ve entered and the ZB and Hardware numbers

Step 7, once you click F8 Done, it ' ll populate the. IPO and. PRG files used to flash the DME.

Step 8, click F3 Program and it's ' ll bring up the-screen-to-tell-you-the-UIF (User info Field) can be programmed-ti Mes (or less if you ' ve had programming done before)

Step 9, confirm OK and has a cup of coffee and wait for about 25minutes to does the full flash

Step Ten, still waiting, but nearly there

Step one, when do this window pops up again to say you can program the Uif-this is the actual programming of the UIF (y ou can actually turn this off, but I don ' t recommend it unless you is never taking your car to the dealer to be serviced and read on their machines).

Step, click OK and you see the programming bar Again-this time it's lot shorter, about 5 minutes to program the UIF

Step, now if you've not had interrupted power supply or corrupt files or did something silly, it'll go smoothly and y Ou'll be rewarded with this screen to say programming OKAY

Step, click on F4 Special

Step 15; Click F1 READ UIF to check your ' ve done everything correctly


Step, INPA screenshot to show this everything matches up

SMG update is exactly the same except you pick GDSMG2 as the ECU family and ZB number 7843255.
