I have an BMW 2007 E90 335i.

I’m going to swap my frm1 module with an frm2 module from 2008 so I can have the warm welcome halos light up when I unlock the car.

I finally got it in and working!
The angel eyes now turn on when I unlock the door, but I remember the angel eyes slowly turning on when I tested it on the donor car.
On my car they just abruptly turn on.
Once your new frm module is in.
From the Ncs Expert MAIN MENU(once you open the app and connect to the car)

Click vehicle
Click vehicle order
Click CAS
Click Edit
Click date
Change date to March 2007
Click Actions
Click save
A window pops up, "choose location”
Click both FRM and CAS.(it will change the date on both CAS and frm and copy your VO from CAS to FRM.

Once that’s done, your FRM should show the same VO as your BMW ICOM A2. If not, close the app and try again.

Default coding the FRM.

Main menu again:
Click safety
Click FRM(footwell module)
Click coding
Click default code
A window promoting you to make a back up will pop up, click confirm.
Click Car access system(CAS)
It will say "copying VO” then "coding”
It should say coding successful once it’s done.

Verify your new FRM has your vin written on it by clicking FUNCTIONS and then read vin(still in the frm menu).

If your vin is read, you’re done.
If Your FRM shows XXXXXXX as vin, relaunch the app and read the vin again. If it still says XXXXXXX as vin, default code the frm again.
Really easy, should only take a few minutes.

There are many mileage tools available for Lexus GS, how can I choose the most suitable tool?

Model: 2016-2019 Lexus
Purpose: mileage correction

Ideal machine use and test reports:

Dash has eeprom 93c86 … Very easy to calculate new miles.
Most eeprom programmers can read the chip. Unpack, unsolder, read and post on the forum so someone can help you with calculations. No tool can do this through obd port.

The safest way is to use a hex editor and a good programmer.

Any eeprom programmer, even yourDigiprog 3 can read … this is a simple 93c86 x 16-bit.

Yanhua Digimaster 3can correct mileage without any problems.

Carprog online dashboard odometer for Lexus 93C86 was successfully programmed.

Here, have collected the solutions for software operation problems from Xprog-M box ECU programmer users.

1. Problem: The xprog V5.84 shows "Access violation at address 00478FC6 in module "XProgDesktop.dll”. Read of address 00000358.”

Solution: Check if the anti-virus software has been installed in the computer. If have, please close it, because the anti-virus software

will kill xprog-M driver. Then open the xprog V5.84 again. If it also doesn’t work, try to unzip xprog software again.

2. Problem: It always prompts "This program version requires to update the XPROG firmware. Do you want to update now?” when using xprog -M box.

Solution: Please check if you connect the internet, if it is, disconnect the internet. Never try to UPDATE, the hardware will be damaged if

you want to try to update it online, then you will lose its warranty.

3. Problem: My Xprog V5.84 fail to read serial eeprom, don’t give eeprom options.

Solution: Xprog v5.84 default software CD does not have eeprom capabilities which is different from previous version V5.74/5.60/5.55 etc.

But the new v5.84 software has modified the software to enable eeprom reading.
