Hi all,
I have scoured tons of posts on how to register the battery using INPA. However each time I try I cannot find the correct module to run the reset.

From what I've read, it should go like this:
1) connect and open INPA (no prob here, coms are up)
2) F5 to choose the chassis (F30)
3) select 'Body' and choose 'Power Module'

this is the issue, I only see 4 options under the body category:
Body Domain Controller BDC
Front Electronic Module (FEM)
Rear Electronic Module (REM)
Embedded Heating and Air Automatic

I'm running V5.0.6 so I think that's up to date.
I have not found a single post on the F30 chassis either.

I also tried Tool32 loading the F01.PRG but again don't see the corresponding options.

I'm about to break down and buy the Carly app and adapter but that's ~$120 (adapter and full software version) which practically eliminates the savings doing the battery job myself.

So, am I just doing something wrong or do these methods only work on the E series cars?

Thanks!

Try with the FEM (Front Electronic Module).

That should be your FRM and CAS together.

I get this error when I try. rough translation sounds like I'm missing files or something but have no idea where to start to fix it

Use ISTA, much easier to register battery replacement. Bimmergeeks.net/downloads has a decent and easy to setup rheinghold

Hi All,

I get the same error when trying to register battery. Where do I get the ipo files for f30 battery registration, and how do I add them to inpa pls

I saw the advice about using ista, the links to good versions in forums seem to have been disabled. I have a working copy of inpa so thought it might be simpler to get the right ipo files for inpa.

Thanks in advance

Hi! Did you found a way to use INPA instead? I don't want to end buying just a new hdd to run INSTA-P. There must be a way.
