So since i couldnt get the ISN out of the MSD81, i have a crack at updating the ISN in my CAS module..... What could go wrong hey?

Dude take a step back and think about all that you've learned and shared with us. The reason I'm saying that is look at this video and see how fluent you are in explaining your steps. It blows my mind what you guys do with these BMWs There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you guys will be at 100k subs very soon.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Thanks very much man! Let hope so, we haven’t really grown much “view wise” in the last 12 months, which gets a little disheartening but comments like this keep the fire alive.

interested to know more about the charger please. cheers

Your DIY charger in on another level. Looks really high end. Pretty sure you can sync CAS and EWS with ISTA too, for anyone without a brick tool.

[@aboxofchocolates5901]

it wont if ISN is completely different. It will for only CAS2 if ISN are the same but syncing data is corrupted.

[@therivalryan]

only Exx with EWS in EGS (ie.ISN) is E70, E71. Vin does not stop starting of car, after reading/writing of CAS you need to sync ELV/CAS and it will start. Coding in DME is minimal at best.

very good work,,,,,, if do same work for bmw x5 e70 to change dme and write isn to cas the isn 4 digit the transmission will not work

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You will need to get the long isn matched on the cas and the dme. Then reset or virginize the transmission. I have only just done my first trans reset with bimtool yesterday. Video is on our other channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKDaZ3ujfq2gfZI

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

Scary just to watch! i was shaking as your camera was shaking, cancelled each other out!

[@annonneemice]

This may be a stupid idea... but could you not just take both the DME and the CAS module from the donor car and put them both in the car the DCT is going into and then just use the key from the donor car as the new key? Is there any reason this wouldnt work? I ask because I have a wrecked 135i that I am wanting to take the DCT from and install into my 335i. thanks :) Love your videos btw!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It would work, however the vin number would be incorrect when you plug MHD in, or any scan tool. You would also need to re do the coding on them.

One question did the auto gearbox work after doing this mod? The ISN in the gearbox needs to match the ISN in the CAS and DME. If you changed the ISN in the CAS the gearbox will possibly no longer work. The engine will run but no mechatronics in gearbox will work. Did you have this problem or did the auto gearbox still work?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It did however, e9x series dct and auto do not have isn in the boxes.

[@StratoJohn]

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yes I am! Luckily this car actually came with index 12s when i got it.

[@ynoyellow4829]

Donor car stock wheel size? Mine are cracked and trying to find some

[@cocko1135]

That is a huge win man, my head hurts trying to understand it all. .. So, did the VIN actually change in the DME or just the ISN? When I changed DME's, I was able to use the old CAS to write my tune in but then swap out to new to drive it. It was like MHD used the CAS as a portal to write but not change existing VIN of DME. So although I have my tune on the DME I can't log anything because the DME VIN is not correct to the licence. Hope that makes sense. Either way, you're doing a ripper job man

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

So the Bimtool changed the ISN in the CAS. That lined the msd81 up with my original cas module. MHD then reads the vin on the cas and writes that to the UIF felid on the DME. I bet you can't log because the cas in your car to make it run, doesn't have the vin on it that the MHD license is linked to. MHD connects to the cas i think to do all the work. Thinking out loud if you update your old cas's isn and use your old cas, you will be good to go.

[@cocko1135]

@@ZeroTo60Tube holy shit balls! 2 things, firstly I actually understood that 🤣 and secondly that makes sense. I'll get my old DME back this week and see how that goes. If it is no good, I may have to throw some cash/barter your way..... 😉

[@clalinde19]

Nice work 👍🏼 out of curiosity so VIN matching was never a requirement right? Just ISN matching if I'm correct.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The vin matching I just did with mhd, now I think the car will run with mismatched vin the but cluster may show a tamper dot. However a simple mhd flash will write the vin from your cluster to the dme now.

[@clalinde19]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Interesting I know cars run with VIN mismatching between DME and CAS, as long as ISN matches. I believe MHD happens to re write old donor's car VIN. But doesn't matter since your license will work with your old VIN as MHD also does a check against the CAS and if any of those (DME VIN or CAS VIN) match your license VIN then you are good to flash. In order to avoid tamper dot your VIN on the cluster should match the VIN on the CAS. I've been told this back in the days.

[@uisperfectemail9720]

Nice scary stuff

[@cespaillat11]

I'm replacing my MSD 81 part # 7592080 with one with the same exact part number. Do I just need to change the VIN on the DME using WinKFP or is there more to it? Trying to just replace the DME but I also have the matching CAS and Key fob from the donor vehicle. If I replaced as a set, do I still need programming of the VIN? Thank you.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I dont like replacing all units although the car will run, but it will think it has the wrong vin number. I am under the impression you cant change the cas vin with winkfp, which is what everything relies on. However i havent gone through it myself, just read about people with issues and looked in to ISN change to make the new DME work with original cas.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You can change cas with hack tools, just not winkfp. I think......

[@mohamadaliitani7561]

Did you manage to change the VIN number if so how

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Not with this tool. The vin is stored in 2 places on the DME, this can only change one of the stored vins. Mind you that vin change should be fine for emissions checks. You can also update the vin with winkfp.

[@mohamadaliitani7561]

@@ZeroTo60Tube thx for your response mate, do you think MHD would do the job?

My car is a 2009 with the MSD81, but with the standard ZF 6HP auto, since it has the newer MSD81, would it already have the software to control a DCT, or am I misunderstanding.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The MSD81 is compatible with a DCT. So swapping the DME is one step you wouldnt need to do.

Where is the link 😂? The guy?

[@TML34]

All the technicalities aside, if I’m trying to swap DME’s the issue is matching the new DME info to your CAS and keys??

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Basically for the car to start all the Isn’s need to be the same in the dme, cas and trans (if the trans is equipped with isn security). I think it’s only the dct that has that on the e9x cars. Once the isn lines up the car should start. You need the vins in each module to line up to avoid tamper dot

[@TML34]

@@ZeroTo60Tube so if the vins don’t match, you can never sell the car. 😅

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@TML34 well tbh honest i havent personally tested the tamper dot theory, but that is what read. Either way its super easy to match the vins with a MHD flash

[@TML34]

@@ZeroTo60Tube So how does MHD flash properly if you’ve now got different VIN’s in the DME and CAS? Or can you overwrite your existing VIN into the “new” DME?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@TML34 MHD uses the cas to identify the car, and writes the cas vin to the UIF section of the DME. Doing some reading before, the vin is stored in two places in the DME but the UIF must be all that matters. If i scan the car with inpa it now shows my cars vin on the DME after the MHD flash.
