Bosch EDC17C41 ISN+VIN Edit: BMW Group (BMW · Mini)

Bosch EDC17C41 ISN+VIN Edit — for BMW Group (BMW, Mini)

The ISN (Individual Serial Number) is a unique serial number by which the engine control unit syncs with BMW's security system: CAS, EWS or FEM/BDC. Without a matching ISN the unit won't start the engine.

When you need ISN+VIN Edit

• ECU replacement or repair — the new unit must pair with your car's CAS/FEM.
• Read ISN — read the serial number from the dump to match it with other units.
• Write ISN — write into the ECU a number matching the car's security system.
• Recovery after a failed write — restore the unit to working order.

What you get: the ISN in the unit matches the security system — the engine starts normally.

Read the file via OBD, Bench or Boot and upload it — the system detects Bosch EDC17C41 and checks whether the operation applies for free. You'll get the ready file with recalculated checksums in your portal account.
