NCS Expert fails to read KAFAS
Hello, i’m having a problem with reading the KAFAS module with NCS expert.
The car is X5 e70 LCI 2012 with OEM KAFAS and has the 8TH option.
However, after a few seconds while executing the reading job in the NCS it fails with this error:
“Error in CABD! Look at CABLERR and ERROR.LOG!
COAPI-2020: SG antwortet nicht IFH-0009: SG nicht angeschlossen oder
meldet sich nicht KAFAS7O
COAPI-2020: SG antwortet nicht CODIERDATEN_LESEN”
Checked the TRC file after that and it includes some info (size is ~196KB).
I opened that file in the NCS Dummy, but it seems it does not opens it correctly - unable to edit and the checkboxes from the left are missing.
The interesting part is that other modules like KOMBI are being read correctly and i’m able to edit it in NCS Dummy.
I’ve download the software pack from some thread in reddit.
The whole point of this exercise is just to change the country code to BG (42,47) in the NAME_1 parameter in KAFAS and see if the Speed Limit Information start working (currently shows —- on the HUD). The maps is EUROPE EAST PREMIUM 2025-2 if thats related.
If someone experienced such a problem, please give an advice. Thanks.
============================
Problem solved:
I’ve managed to enable the speed limit info trough Tool32!
open file KAFAS70.prg in Tool32
Choose job: steuern_methode_sli
Set the parameter as you wish:
0 = OFF
1 = Fusion mode (camera + nav)
2 = Nav only
Execute the job.
After that you will need to execute one more job to reset/restart the module: steuergeraete_reset
Voala, it should work now.
Thanks!
=============================
Update:
Unfortunately, this is not a fix, but a temp fix/test values.... Once the car sleep for a certain time and turned on again - it is gone....
I've dig into this for the past two weeks, but no luck at all.
Managed to enable the log tracing in NCS expert, and when executing codierdaten_lesen it fails on the step reading memory block "3030" - NCS throws IFH-0009.
Dig the whole internet, but nothing....
Therefore there is one JOB in KAFAS70 in Tool32: "daten_referenz_lessen" which gives job status: "ERROR_NO_DREF". If that makes some sense.
Several AI agents purposed me to flash the module trough WinkFP, but i'm not sure for that.
If anyone has an idea or a clue, please share it.
Thanks!
