Possibly - did you return for window initialization afterwards?

2006-2009 FRM2 Coding - Success!
Today was a milestone in programming, we are now able to program LM2 modules. In this entry, our friends at VF Engineering will be returning with their M2 Widebody Fighter Pilot for programming:
You might remember in an earlier post that we performed the LCI update on VF Engineering's 2008 Widebody M3, leaving the LM2 module installed for further R&D. Disregard the EAS button in the video - that's top secret As seen in the video, we have successfully coded out BulbCheck with no errors present on the dash or iDrive display. Overview: - Flickering removed during startup - Blinker operates at normal speed - Bulb out errors are no longer present What does this mean? FRM3 modules are no longer required for LCI updates. Would you recommend a FRM2 or FRM3 module for my LCI upgrade? We still recommend a FRM3 module for upgrades. The coding is performed differently in which any dealer updates do not affect programming that is already present. FRM2 modules are coded different in which BulbCheck is disabled, but can be overwritten if the FRM module is updated. Typically FRM modules are not updated in this fashion, but those looking to save a few bucks can't go wrong keeping the FRM2. What's in store for the future? As in the past, we will be handing our notes over to autologic, in which local programming facilities (including our competition on the forum) will now have access to the coding for local programming. Last Note: Unfortunately, this may be our last Q/A session. While this is informative to the forum members, it has also trained our competition here (LCI Taillamp upgrades, Folding Mirrors, City Lamps) on the forum, using the literally hours of hard work and late nights we've logged to compete against us. While it's not typically the fashion in which we work - it seems the competitiveness in the market is driving things in this direction, which prevents these types of things from happening. As thanks for those that have supported us - we will be providing FRM2 coding for the next 5 people that make an appointment at no charge, no matter where your taillamps were purchased. Its our way of saying thanks, and allowing those looking for an experienced programming facility to suit their needs. Without you - these types of projects would not have been possible.

The YT video is private and thus not working (at least for me).
Best regards, south

It seems the Euro versions FRM2 module can't be coded by Autologic. My software has been going backward and forward to their head office and they can't get it to code. They confirmed they have no problems with the US version though.
I have ordered a new FRM3 module for fitting on Monday |

US vehicles do not suffer this issue, we're looking a bit more into it as to why.

Since this is a technical thread, we cannot answer sales questions in this section. Please PM or email me directly if you have specific questions regarding ordering.
For those looking for assistance in their LCI retrofits, feel free to post in here or contact me directly.

Had a couple of inquiries on LCI Taillight upgrade procedures, bringing this back from the archives.

EU 2008/JUN build date E90
Santa gave me an early present as I was able to source a LCI trunk and tailight set from a wrecked E90 328 From my understanding of this thread everything is plug and play and all I'll be needing is the correct coding? (Does not concern FRM2/FRM3?) Thanks in advance |

I have 09 e92 M3... If everything is plug and play, and the only reason I need coding is to remove bulb check and the errors on idrive, what's the whole deal with FRM2 and 3? Do I need newer one or not? Thanks.

Hate to bring a old thread back but just curious how long can I drive without coding?
The shop I'm going to be bringing it to is booked up and wont get me in for over a week. |

Lights are still functional, you're ok to drive. There will be a little intermittent flickering until the coding takes place, but will not cause any harm.
