My Reverse camera module wasn't working properly, It made other module crashes and stopped communicating (CON IHKA) and the reverse camera wasn't always working.

I bought one on Ebay, same part number (Hardware and software) but my previous one had been updated by BMW dealer to 2014 software (instead of 2013).

Long story short, I installed the one from Ebay (Came from a 5 series) and it's not communicating (Red in ISTA).

Do I need to code it?

[atzebmw]

Yes, it has to be coded.

[F30RiK]

Thanks!

Can someone help me with the step to code it?

I can paypal a donation if needed

[atzebmw]

Do you have E-Sys?
Then you only have to mark the TRSVC, assign a new CAFD and after that code the TRSVC.

[F30RiK]

I have E-sys but I never used it. I'll try this afternoon. Thanks!!

[F30RiK]

Ok so I followed the step by step for esys. I'm connected and I was able to read the ECU's. I have 19 ecu but the trsvc doesn't show in there.

[F30RiK]

I should have 20 ECU's showing up. It look like the trsvc is dead ?

[atzebmw]

But you wrote that you can see it in ISTA in red.
So it can't be dead.

In E-Sys did you try both buttons Read SVT and Read Ecu?

Can you again check the error memory with ISTA?
We have to know the error message.

[F30RiK]

It's in red (no communication possible). Fault in ista is ; no communication with control unit possible.

I only tried read ecu, ill try read SVT right now

Thanks for your help!!

[F30RiK]

Ohhh, thank you!!! Read SVT did the trick lol

[F30RiK]

If you can help me a bit more lol, how can I assign a new cafd?

[F30RiK]

Ok, I'm not able to "read coding data", it will give me an error.

That's normal because the CAFD was not yet assigned.

To assign a CAFD mark the ecu TRSVC and on the right side "detect caf for swe".

[F30RiK]

Ok so I think I made a big mistake lol.

I clicked code when CAFD was highlighted (in the trsvc module) and a screen popped up with a bunch of text in German . At the end it was written something like "cant find cafd file).

Now the trsvc module won't appear even when I click "read SVT".

[atzebmw]

No, that was no mistake.
That's the right way to assign a new CAFD.

Did you see this window?

[F30RiK]

No because I clicked "code" before clicking on "detect caf"

I just realised that TRSVC was supposed to be highlighted, but when I clicked "code" CAFD was highlighted instead.

Now the trsvc doesn't appear at all even when I click read SVT.

Like if it was erased from the list. I'll take a picture

[atzebmw]

Ah OK, i understand.
But i think that's no problem.

Maybe you can try again to connect the car or you shut off the ignition and turn it on again.

[F30RiK]

I tried letting the car go in sleep mode and also rebooting the computer. Its still doesn't show up in the SVT.

It's like if I deleted the trsvc module from the SVT

[F30RiK]

I saved the SVT file (should of did that at the beginning lol) and all 19 ECU's are there but the trsvc is not in there

[atzebmw]

OK, try the following.

Mark the ecu "SM" in your SVT list and then hit the button "Code".
After that try again to Read SVT or Read Ecu.

[F30RiK]

Ok I did and it was completed with no errors, but trsvc still doesn't show up.

[F30RiK]

Trsvc module doesn't appear anymore in ista
