Hello everybody,
I am currently dealing with the subject "tuning" matter technically and have some issues in mind. Certain tools / software are available or ordered (Kess V2).
What is the risk of flashing via ODB? Can the flash be aborted and it is no longer possible to enter via OBD? - with the consequence of a necessary BDM Flash?
My idea would be to get a MSG from the scrap and proceed as follows:
1. Backup ECU of my car via BDM completely (which tool would be best?, Kess V2 can´t do this I think)
2. Flashing this file on the 2nd MSG -> check in the vehicle if car is running -> so I would have generated my spare ecu
3. everything else is now done via ODB directly in the vehicle with the 2nd control unit
4. would the 2nd control unit run on my vehicle? (CAS, EWS etc. is copied or not?)
5. What should I pay attention for buying the spare ecu (HW / SW number)?
Mine has the following data:
BMW 530 D
HW: 0281013500
SW: 1037387658
SW Upgradenr: 07811723
EDC16CP35 KWP
I would assume, I can take each control unit starting from year 9/2005 until end LCI (530d machine)? Or are there differences here?
6. Could one align with the data of a 535d when adjusting the torque, boost pressure, and injection quantity maps?
Maybe that sounds a bit strange, but I just want to try that only because of interest and learning this topic. The idea with the second control unit is just in case I bury something and the car is not running.
Thanks & Greetings
