In the end of this step we press F6 “Back”Ĩ.We will see the screen with readed coding in upper part. Now NCS Expert ready to write this coding data to all ECU available in chassis. In this screen weħ.After ECU choosing and pressing OK the NCS Expert will read coding data from specified ECU and write it in the upper part of NCS Ecspert window. (You can try read from different ECU for comparison). In any case we can read the data from proposed ECU in selected chassis. But in you car is better to read itįrom EWS if this ECU originally for your car. In most cases such coding stored in EWS or IKE. (we select E39)Ħ.In the next screen NCS Expert propose us to select from wich ECU we want to read “Correct” coding data. Means that we will read ZCS/FA data from (f.) ECUĥ.In the next screen you will see the chassis choice because depend on chassis the different list of ECU from wich we able to read coding. In this screen please select (F1) ZCS/FA f. Luckily I took it back to the garage that messed it up and they recoded it for me but if it happens again I'll know what to do!4.In the next screen you will see the same picture: (the CHASSIS FG FA (it the coding data) now is empty). Thanks for this, I didn't think to carry on and skip the step. Now I can listen to podcasts without an external speaker, and my own music in the car radio! Ah I have been waiting for 6 months since I bought this car for this! hahaha thank you all! In summary: If you face the same issue as rosstucks try to follow the tutorial without adding the +NAUX and it (can? should?) work as it worked for me! And BANG, once I essentially followed hairymel steps disregarding adding the +NAUX (just not typing +NAUX and pressing "add", but following all the rest) all worked fine, and all using the "Manipulation" profile in my NCS expert (as some forums suggested that the Manipulation profile works the same as the Expert Mode, as it seems). However, by watching the YouTube video linked by hairymel himself in his step-by-step I noticed the guy in the video mentions something on the lines that "not every car needs this step" which means, I believe, that cars like mine do not need to add the +NAUX as they already have this thing there but is set to not be active. Whilst following the amazing tutorial by hairymel above (hairymel, by the way, you're the man!! Thank you so much!) I noticed the same error as yourself, the "the following feature is invalid for FA: +NAUX" message. After this installation it was also clear to me that it did not have the "Expert mode" profile (as had neither of the two other NCS Expert packages I had managed to find via navigating plenty of dodgy websites).

I installed multiple versions of the NCS Expert software and ended up using the one from Bimmer Geeks which has a very detailed tutorial for installation and works in Windows 10. The following feature is invalid for FA: +NAUXĪh my dear rosstucks have I got good news for you! (and anyone facing the same problem). However my ncsexpert seems to be different and also when I try to add +NAUX it comes up saying its not valid I've tried to follow this to sort my radio out as its lost the AUX in since being in the garage for some work last week. Hope this helps : follow the video just choose the different options i highlighted and you should be ok Turn ignition on and for me at least aux function is re-enabled When that job has finished exit ncs expert, unplug your cable, turn off the ignition. navigate to your ncs expert directory usually c:ncsexperĬlick on the folder and then the work folder contained in itįind FSW_PSW.TRC than open it with notepadĭelete the 'no_' part then save as (choose type all files) FSW_PSW.MAN I CHOSE E89 AS I HAD NO E87 OPTION click okĮnter +naux in the attribute box and then press addĬlick f2 select CODIERDATEN_LESEN click okĦ. in ncs expert click file then load profile.

Install standard bmw tools inc ncs expert I did reflash the cas module but this seems a common problem after battery disconnection or flat battery In my case the flag in firmware seemed to have reset to aux off The vehicle i was working on was an 05 120d and had an oem aux input.Īfter i had fixed the initial issue with broken steering lock motor and then ews cas dme mismatch, it came back with aux in mode not showing on the radio.Īpparently the aux in function requires some sort of resistor between inputs on the aux cable AND a flag in the radio firmware to enable aux input in the radio menu. Information is a bit scattered so here is my take on it. I have scoured the web looking for a guide for the e87 to enable the aux in on the bmw business cd radio.
