Alright ... haven't heard about this and wondering if I lost my marbles. We were working on some Combox programming on the Z4 (ISTA+ and ICOM). Not long after I noticed that the mirrors would no longer fold out (or in). Turns out FRM lost its VIN. Sebastian recoded FRM and all was happy.
Now my X5d E70 ... some point after I bought it, TPMS started acting up. I pulled the antenna, cut it open and no corrosion or any issues. Glued it back up and into the X5. Don't really see any issues. Well guess what ... FRM lost its VIN. Of course it has been connected up to the same ISTA+/ICOM setup. It also claims 12.3V on ISTA+ even though I've got a programming recharger setup on the X5 running 13.4V. Weird stuff.
What's the chance of two cars losing their FRM VIN? THe only correlation I have is the Chinesium ICOM I have. What's the chance that something wacky is going on and wacking the FRMs? I've had it for several years ... but now getting suspicious.
