The factory ike is programmed with a mileage offset when the car is new ,I have seen them offset from 11 to 51 kms . So when the cars are new the mileage on the odometer will say 999989 if the mileage offset is 11 kms and that is for transport to the dealer the ike will hit 0 and the lcm and ews will show 11kms . So the ews and lcm are the actual mileage of the car . When you write mileage in the lcm with pa soft you just set it to 0 and when when turn the ignition off and on it will download the correct mileage from the ike with the proper mileage offset to the lcm. With pa soft you can check what your mileage offset is by going to the ike and under coding data then click ''Recoding'' it will show you what options are enabled on your ike and the bottom right corner will show you the mileage offset ,set mileage offset to 1 if you want the same mileage reading in ike and lcm
I just used you video and PA Soft BMW Scanner v1.4 to clear my tamper dot and to write my car’s VIN to a cheap secondhand LCM that I installed in my E53 X5. Thanks cery much for taking the time to upload this video. Very helpful. I’ve found PA Soft is very easy to use and worked first time (unlike NCS Expert).
The donor LCM keeps triggering an active fault for “no connection to rain sensor”. My car does not have a rain sensor, so the module is expecting to see a rain sensor which the donor car must’ve had. Is it possible to code my car’s features into the donor module? I know it’s possible to do this with NCS Expert (the software copies your car’s features from another module in the car), but I can’t get NCS to work on my computer. Cheers.
@@hackzgames yes, I’ve noticed that. Have already adjusted the VIN and mileage in a used LCM. I have also noticed that I can reprogram my GM3 module to lock the doors after the car gets to a pre-determined speed. Very user friendly, don’t need to be a German-speaking Rhodes scholar in order to work out how to use BMW Scanner 1.4
PA Soft is also great for calibrating your speedo to be dead accurate or setting the BMW service intervals to a more reasonable 10000kms or so, instead of 30,000km!
Thanks for sharing! I just saw a used newer LCM show up locally that I wanted to buy but didn't want to deal with a tamper dot in my E46. I've used PA Soft before to make my temp gauge in the instrument cluster more linear by removing the buffer zone that makes it always look like it's set in the middle. Always appreciate your helpful videos.
Haha, well unfortunately the time it takes me to work everything out would probably really mess with the hourly rate the mechanics charge haha. Thanks for the comment tho, hope you’re enjoying your Xmas.

wondering can this recode ike ( kombi ) different vin ? as i have but no bmw to test with as buddy did swap manual trans and used ike , need to recode but vin wrong ?
Nice work. It's funny BMW chose the light module as a place to store mileage (or KM's) & VIN. Is it an assumed replacement, in the case of an accident I wonder? Regardless, welll done. I'm doing a gradual replacement of old parts on the E60 and I keep thinking I should video it for others. It's always nice to hear someone do something with condfidence in an accent you're familiar with. Makes a job sound 'doable'.
Thanks for sharing. I am hoping this will work when I try switching out my IKE on my 2006 4.4 E53. I am assuming that the LCM and DME will play along with a different IKE.
Once bought a 330ci that had that little dot, wasn’t sure what I was, car had 100,000 miles on it, got told it was a tamper dot but previous mots matched so thought nothing of it! Sold it to a mate who then sold it on, mots then went digital to find out it had been clocked by 75000 miles! The new owner wasn’t very happy 😂
Oh wow! Yeah to be honest i thought the tamper dots were a brilliant idea once i worked out why they were there. This is the first one i have ever seen in the flesh.
@@ZeroTo60Tube always look out for them now when buying BMWs, you’d be surprised the amount I’ve seen here in the uk that people have bought with out actually knowing what that little dot is!

Hi, I’ve BMW X3 E83 2.5i 2004 I swapped the original HID headlights to angels eyes that came with their control modules and it worked for a while like a month until low beam on the drivers side stopped working.

very nice your video! I would like to know if I could do this kind of remote work? i have a bmw 2011 535i and i bought a used cluster for my car it is giving my normal current mileage plus i need to delete his vin and his current mileage because it conflicts with my car module.
Hello, I need to replace my cluster in my e53 X5 and I can't afford the new one. Will this software help me set the mileage of my new used cluster to my actual mileage in my original cluster?
I belive so, however i would recommend finding someone that has gone through the entire process that you need to, sometime this sort of work can be finicky.
I wonder if you could wind it forward enough to cause it to reset to 0, try and hit the limits of wherever its storing the ks in memory, maybe worth a try if thr x5 ever dies
We can't remove the dot on the cluster with the reset button and hidden menu options instead using a laptop? like in the E36? The e46 menu says its on menu 15 but when I'm there I can't access the dot manipulation option.

He’s decided to ignore it for now 😩...... haha no he’s gonna do 1000ks and get it checked properly not a biased sample like we did last time. Fingers crossed.
Gone are the days when you could stick your car in reverse when it's on Jack stands and literally reverse the mileage haha I had an old Peugeot that had a very temperamental speedo, and I didn't find out until months down the line that the mileage also didn't change when the speedo wasn't working
Nice work andrew, what do you use for coding your e9x? And when we comparing the manual to auto 335, interested as ive only drove my man and never been in auto👍🏴
Coding on my e9x was all done with ncs expert, but do be honest it really baffles me which is why I’m yet to do a video on it for fear of making a mistake
PA Soft looks user friendly compared to NCS Expert and Dummy. So nerve racking when doing custom coding (anything other than programming a virgin module is custom), especially with new software. Well done, my video would have been demonetized for sure for language, if I tried this. (I don't have any videos just saying it would be demonetized)
Ideally the LCM should be recoded with NCS Expert based on the ZCS so that it matches the options and functionality of the destination vehicle. May be lucky if it's been sourced from a similar vehicle though. For instance, for the E39 there are settings to tell the LCM whether the vehicle has the facelift LED tail lights. I believe that some of these things can be coded with PASoft but not all.
@@rsporsche would you have any more info on this process? I need to do mine as just bought a used LCM from the same model and year X5, but I understand they can have different factory fitted options so need coding to match?
@@DanReVanced It's been a while so I'll need a little time to refresh my memory, feel free to give me a nudge if I haven't replied by the end of the long weekend
@@ralphpecson7291 Are they this generation of clutser? Same as E46? Or are they based on a E36? I have never had anything to do with the older z3s mechanics. I feel like they are e36 electronics.
NCS Expert should be able to do that I think. I believe you need to write the vehicle order (VO) to it. Did you swap it or program it with the Alpina software? After I wrote the Alpina software to my E90 I needed to use NCS Expert to write the VO so I could get rid of the "Coding Missing" error.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony recently my transmission on my 2009 335i e92 went out and I'm looking to get a new(used) transmission to replace my broken one, I'm still not 100% sure if the car has to be coded to work(run and drive) or what not.
So I been looking into the whole coding side just incase. From what I know is that I can use WinKFP to update(software and vin) and should work? Hopefully?
@@TTGGReeDY So I have a pre-03/2007 build and had the old valve body. However I wanted to upgrade to the Alpina EGS software so I needed to get a 03/2007+ valve body. I bought one and replaced it then used WinKFP to program the Alpina software. Everything worked fine and I didn't lose the use of my paddle shifters. Years later I loaded the xHP Flashtool onto my phone and learned I had an error related to the VO not being coded to the EGS. I fixed that with NCS Expert. If I recall correctly (it has be nearly a decade now) when I programmed the EGS with the Alpina software using WinKFP, I wrote my VIN to the new EGS at that time.
