STVR Installed, Chassis Mismatch Code

Does anyone have simple instructions on how to clear this?

Local shops around me have no luck, so I figured it’s time that I learn.

I replaced my STVR with the identical part number and year/model. I need to reprogram the VIN into the new STVR.

Thanks
 
Ah gotcha

Yes there are plenty of guides on here if you use the search function

It’s a 4 step process using inpa, wnkfp, ncs and toolset32 do you have the software and compatible cable?

I just ordered the cable on Amazon.

So I have to use all 4 softwares? Seems like a convoluted process? But I guess it is what it is.

Have you done this before? I’ll pay somebody for their knowledge or over the phone help. I live in Texas.
 
Most of us are in the uk so that may be expensive

I am in New York in October though 🤣🤣

Yes you need the whole suite of software and you need to follow the process step by step or it won’t work, or worse you damage/brick the new module

Thread 'Airbag ECU Programming Help *Solved*'

Hi All,

I've recently had to swap the main airbag ECU and one of the pillar units as the originals were causing a big battery drain in my 05 E85 (2.2).

The garage that swapped them (a local BMW indy in Cheltenham) were not able to program the modules with the VIN of my car as they were second hand units.

Just wondering if there is anyone vaguely local to Gloucestershire that might be able to do this?

From what I've found in other threads it should be possible, but not a lot of garages can do it. I was going to try Quarry Motors in Sheffield to see if they could help. It seems other...

Ok, sounds good. Is there a step by step guide on this forum for programming a new VIN into the STVR?

I find it odd that BMW didn’t make one program that can do it all. Why does it take 4 programs to compete one task?
 
You can I think use ista to do it without the 4 step but I’ve never used it and haven’t seen anyone detail how it’s done

Tried and tested is the 4 step process as far as I’m concerned

Ok. I’m up for learning to do it.

I’ll look for a step by step guide for the 4 step method.
 
I’ve tagged the how to guide in a few posts above

That’s the best one if I recall

The problem I am having is that the files wont install on my laptop. They talk anout needing extra protocols, .net files, etc. I have no clue what any of that means. I'm not a software person.

Isn't there a one stop shop program or scanner I can hook up to my car and reprogram the VIN into a module?? It seems like it would be a simpe task and shouldn't need to take so many programs, etc.

Pretty sure one of us would have found that by now. Even fancy modern BMW dealer software can't do it. I have done weekend trips around the UK, and even had one member fly me to Ireland to code modules in using the clunky INPA/WinKFP/NCS/Tool32, because awkward as it looks, it works.
You need to set the System Time as well as the VIN.
I am no software geek either. It's a tool and when it goes wrong I'm stuffed. Hopefully you can find someone who can help you to set up your software properly. Once you have it you'll be in demand.

Can you help me set up my laptop via a phone call? I’ll pay you for your time.

As I said, I can use it but I don't know much about setting it all up. You need someone who understands all the 'drivers', 'Daten files' etc that are just Swahili to me. Sorry.
 
@Rothsean - can I just confirm something. We have all been discussing how you code a replacement control module (SBSL, SBSR or SIM85) in a pre-facelift E85. However, you initially mentioned a 'STVR' and said it's a module within the door? As far as I know, the only item actually within the door is the airbag itself and replacing that doesn't need coding.
Before we give you the wrong info, can you clarify exactly what component you have replaced please?

OK, think I've found it. Seems USA cars have an extra module in each door that then report via the SBSL or SBSR to the SIM85. Outside of the USA we have no knowledge of these and there is a fair chance we would be giving you misguided information.

Yes, the STVR is in the door. I’ll try to at attach a pic. It plugs into the airbag via a wire. The left door has the STVL.

Ok gotcha. Same as me. I’ll see if I can find a software person around here that can set me up.
