BMW CAFD coding problem

[Manta1600]

I played to replace the VIN on test FEM and lost the CAFD coding

I had this before and usually no problem to recover but now no success - I use CGDI and always ending with OBD time out

Ive tried new programming new coding but always finish with time out when try to program CAFD - no problem to update other files

also I wrote back the original eeprom and unlocked the FEM again and tried again no success

I checked on other FEM no problem to program CAFD

any ideas?

have you tried coding with another tool (e-sys, icom, autohex) ?

Possible someone has changed the FA in the past and VIN coding is not acepted.
Auto hex, CGDI, Autel or something else must do it but
the best to flash with esys and it verify any software errors.

I have Autohex but not full so can't do programming

Autel can't do it I tried on other car few months ago and sorted with CGDI after that

I have Esys but is not configured properly on the my laptop and at the moment is useless

E-sys is best for me once you get used to using it.. I have Autohex full and I still prefer to use e-sys most of the time.

To use coding in Autohex dont need to have full version.

Must install and Try esys ... also flash to latest swfls with coding ... sure will work if fa is correct ...
