Mini [R53] - Help Needed BC1 Body Module Change/Program

**nogger1** · 23rd February, 2017, 09:31 PM

Hi all, i have a 2006 Mini Cabrio[R53] which had water damage to the BC1 module. The module is the all plastic type with the 93LC76C eeprom on the board which i understood contained all the programming info ?
I managed to get a used BC1 with the exact numbers to match this car.

I tried to swap the eeprom on the new module for the eeprom off the old however the original eeprom was damaged (corrosion) and during desoldering a pin came away so i am unable to read the chip. I now need to program the new module. As i understand it the car will still start with the new module/chip as the security is handled in the EWS/DME but how can i now program the new module with the VO/Mileage from IKE/ SIA etc etc.

So , a few questions:

I have programmed many R56 mini FRM module and know that the VO is stored in FRM & CAS but what about the R53 model ?

Am i correct in thinking VO is stored in IKE, can i use NCSExpert to read IKE and program the BC1 or do i need DIS/GT1/ProgmanSSS.

Can someone who has experience of swapping BC1 modules advise on the best way out of this situation, thanks

Can't help too much as I have only done an R50.
All I did was use Dis V57 to program the remotes.
Car is all fine.

Thanks MJRVR, was this on thr original module or a replacement module?, if replacement did you change VIN as well ?

No the vin is wrong as its a replacement module and cannot fathom out how to change the vin.
Doesn't seem to affect anything though.

If you need info on how to code the remotes (R50) let me know.

Hi , yes i would be interested in knowing that. I have DISv57 but the coding button is greyed out so trying to sort that out at present. I have an AK90 programmer on order as well. Problem is i DONT have the barcode for the key coding and there's no way of retrieveing it from the old module as the eeprom is damaged.

If you like send a PM

Many thanks

I will send you a pm.
You don't do it by the coding button.

Is there any way you could lend me some assistance I have a R50 I swapped my BC1 for another I took off a car completely different module (Motorola) when I had a Delphi car starts all good there and my AC is working now but of course I can't program the FOB can DIS do this? Also I can't code it I can only get a FSW_PSW, nettodata and ect from it but won't let me code probably because of the mismatched VINs

Vins don't matter.
Dis can do it.
Follow these instructions and all will be well.
