Carly, be aware..

I have seen it happen with my own eyes on the FRM module in my E70.

Firmware version was changed and date altered from 2013 to 2011 after programming with Carly, the module also became FRM2 when it had been FRM3. This then generated an error in NCS as the module version didn't match the VIN. Ended up having to flash the module back to the correct firmware and date, after which all was fine.

I use NCS and ISTA/P and D pretty much daily so am familiar with how they work. Spoke to my software guy, who is an absolute genius when it comes to BMW software and retrofits etc, he said he sees it regularly when Carly has been used, particularly on FRM modules.
