BMW / Mini / FRM3 Repair
A common failing item on BMW vehicles is the ‘FRM3’ module (Footwell module) Often after a flat battery / jump start or after ‘coding’ operations have been carried out with devices such as ‘CARLY’ or even after a diagnostic check has been carried out & fault codes have been cleared a software (EEEFlash) corruption can occur. We can reprogram (Recover) your original FRM module correcting the software file – the FRM module will then plug straight back into your car and work correctly with no further programming necessary – If however your FRM module has been water damaged or there is hardware faults such as burnt out components we are also able to clone a secondhand unit which will also plug straight in to your car & work correctly without causing starting issues or mileage corruption. To get your FRM module repaired (Reset) all you have to do is simply send us your FRM module for repair & it will be returned in a few days back to working correctly, alternatively you can bring your car to our workshop in Norwich & we can remove and refit your FRM module for you. General faults caused by FRM module corruption are: Headlights not working or not switching off, Electric windows, mirrors & sunroof not working, indicators not working & no communication with a diagnostic scanner.
FRM Modules are fitted to: BMW 1 series, 3 series – E91/E92 and MINI COOPER E81, E82, E84, E87, E90, E91, E92, E70, E71, E72 R55, R56, R57, R58, R59, R60, R61

We regularly re-program secondhand BCM’s for re-use on another vehicle ‘Cloning’ of this unit is done by data transfer from the original unit to a donor unit -Please call or visit our online shop for further information on how we can help you if you need to replace a Mini BCM
BMW / Mini Key Supply + EWS Systems

Fitted to most ‘E-Series BMW vehicles the key data is held in the ‘CAS’ unit, we can supply & program new keys for this system even when all keys have been lost or stolen.

BMW / Mini Instrument Cluster Programming
If you have a faulty Instrument cluster on your BMW / Mini vehicle, for example it may be water damaged or have a blown component and you are looking to replace the cluster on these vehicles you may be aware that you cannot simply remove one from another vehicle & install it onto yours as the cluster is ‘Locked’ to a different vehicles electronic system and the mileage will be incorrect. We have the solution! Simply send us your original (Faulty) cluster & the donor (Replacement) unit & we will transfer the data from your original to the replacement enabling the used unit to work on your vehicle with no further programming necessary. Once the donor unit has been programmed (Cloned) the coding of the unit will be correct & the car will start & function as it should. The mileage display will show the correct mileage of your car & the central locking etc will be unaffected & operate correctly
BMW / Mini Airbag ECU Crash data / Cloning
We can remove crash data from most airbag control units fitted to BMW vehicles. Crash data needs to be removed from SRS control units after a car has had collision and a safety feature has been activated such as seat belt pre-tensioners, airbags, fuel cut-off systems etc. This usually appears as the airbag warning light being illuminated and fails to extinguish when garages try to clear fault codes with a standard diagnostic scanner. Simply remove your airbag control unit, bring it to us for stripping and re-programming.
A common fault with BMW Airbag systems is the airbag fault warning light illuminating due to a faulty ‘Passenger occupancy sensor’ We are able to code the sensor out of the airbag system in most cases – we also supply & fit ‘Emulators’ when this is not possible!
