HU coding

[adelin731]

Hi guys, I have a BMW f20 2011 116d with lowest spec HU that I assume is CIC.
I want to change my standard cluster for an extended cluster and in order to do this I need to change the HU as my one doesn't have the MOST port.
I purchased a HU from eBay that looks exactly the same but has got the MOST port, the donor car of this HU is a BMW f20 2011 118d.
Can anyone please explain to me how to code it, and if I need a FSC code or not.
Thanks in advance!

Connect E-Sys
Go to Expert Mode >> Coding >> Read Vehicle Order >> Save >> Edit.
This will take you to FA editor. Right click on FA and select Calculate FP. Expand FAList on left to SALAPA-element.
In the bottom, add 609 and change 6NH to 6NS. Click apply. Calculate FP again. Save.
Go to Expert Mode >> VCM >> Load the saved FA file in the bottom section, file tab >> Right-click FA and Calculate FP >> Go to VCM Master tab >> write FA FP.
The you need to VO code NBT and Kombi as following:
Expert Mode >> Coding >> Read FA (VO) >> Activate FA (VO) >> Read SVT (VCM) >> Left-Click on HU_NBT >> "Detect CAF for SWE"
>> Select the latest CAFD displayed >> OK >> Right-Click on HU_NBT (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => CODE.

Then you can use FSC repair kit and import necessary fsc and install maps.

But my HU doesn't have navigation and maps, so I assume the eBay one will be the same, do I still need FSC? PS: I think is HU_ENTRY

If you are retrofiting NBT then you can install maps later.
If you just want a working unit then FSC not necessary.

Perfect. You're a legend.
Thank you very much

Hello TheNine90,

can you help me code Hu_NBT. Have fault code B7F882 HU-H: Control unit not encoded to vehicle. I noticed the VIN for the HU_NBT was different under Check FSC status. I tried writing correct VIN under FSC extended.  Correct VIN now shows but still getting that fault code. Do I have to VO code the HU_NBT?
