Flash Counter

[Who's on first]

Has anyone in their coding adventures found where the ECU Flashing Counter is by chance?

Thanks.

Funny I don’t mention it in that thread! But here’s a link to the “ProgrammingCounterMaxValues”: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=35

To the OP, You can retrieve this info using tool32. Why are you asking though?

Thanks for the info. I was hoping (also told) I could get it through e-sys.

Damn. It.

They say there is a 60 flash limit, I?d like to know how many times I?ve flashed back and forth.

Yes, you can also get it through Esys, External Application, Transmitter, connect then scroll down to find the applicable message to send.

Actually, the data in my link above was I think from Esys->Transmitter

As to the limits, my theory is that Esys may NOT flash if the max counter is exceeded. But PTF have flashed hundreds of times their DME... using their tools.

What ?message? (if you know) do I send?

Just browse Transmitter, it is in the first page and in plain English... readProgrammingCounter

If you cant figure out how to use the tool, then no point in pursuing it further, because even if you are close to the limit, and I assume you have a tune, most of the tune tools seem to bypass/disregard that limit.
