Fixing Carly coding mess

lonewolf1870 · 10-19-2023, 02:58 PM

Hi all,

so, yesterday I had my first coding expericne on an F30 using Carly.
I successfully coded the M logo on both the iDrive and on the cluster / KOMBI.

Then I decided to revert to the original setup: while this was sucessful for the iDrive system, Carly failed to code the KOMBI and since then it's a real mess: dials are not working, multiple error messages related to hardware I don't have (e.g. the roof is not closed, but I have no roof) - also the logo of the car is not the F30: it looks like a 1 series.

I tried to disconnect the battery for 10-15 min as suggested, but the problems persist.

To my understanding, the next step is to reset to factory settings via E-SYS by selecting the Kombi module and click on "Code". Can anybody confirm?

By the way, I actually have the "extended" cluster display: in this case, is it KOMBI or DKOMBI?

Thanks!

Well, I solved following Carly's tips. Basically:

1. disconnecting the battery for 15 min
2. re-run Carly diagnostic and delete all errors
3. switch-off the car and wait other 15 minutes
4. set Carly connection speed to slow
5. re-code the affected ECU using a previous back-up

The errors where all there until the last step. I have the feeling that the speed config made the trick, but I'm not sure.
Hope this is useful info should anybody else have similar issues with Carly.

Hello,

I coded the same thing as you in my f20 1 series 2018, unfortunately i got a black screen after a error popped up with coding something in i drive.
Now the idrive is dead and does nothing anymore, reflashing the backup is also giving a error.

Do you think it is the best option to now just unplug the battery or is that to risky ?
