E38 TIS Programming warning

[v8vegaman]

ok so this has been a while. Is there an update that will allow me to run a 2009 program on a 2007 e38? I have 2 locked up and would like to repair if possible. any other ideas?

Thank you
Robert

at this stage i would say they are door stops... the location of the VIn and seed/key pair changed hence the reason why they dont respond.. I have 2 09 ecu's that have been flashed by a dealer with 2010 OS... they dont respond now...


i have one on the bech right now trying to see if i can recover it at all..

pain in the A$$!!!! hehehe

Well I have managed to recover one E38 that was unprogramable via tis / efilive / and hp tuners...

it now has the correct OS in it.. my only problem is that the Serial number is all Zeros... will this be a problem ..(my only thought would be for licensing)

Ok, everyone needs to understand this is not a problem just the aftermarket tuners have. It's an ECM design issue, there is really nothing that can be done via an 'update'.

All zero's, it isn't really fixed, it seems fixed, but it's not. I don't think EFILive will be able to get that one sorted for you.
There is also every chance that the Ign cycles counter before locking is not at zero, so there is currently no seed/key active, if the data is corrupted and that hits zero it will become locked.

when you say isnt really fixed what do you mean..

i would have thought the OS is in there correctly its just that the serial part had been written over when the wrong year OS was first put in...is this not correct.. and now that i have put the correct OS in the settings will be fine but the serial location which shouldnt be touched by TIS when normally programmed hasnt been which is why it is still blank
