Reset MSV80 Working Hours Directly Through the OBD Port. No Bench Needed.[/center]
Announcing a revolutionary new method for resetting the working hours on the Siemens MSV80 DME. For the first time, this procedure can be performed entirely through the vehicle's OBD-II port, eliminating the need to remove the ECU from the car.
This OBD solution saves a significant amount of time and reduces the risk associated with handling the DME, making the process of adapting a used MSV80 easier and safer than ever before.
Key Advantages of this OBD Method
What You Can Achieve
After resetting the working hours, you can successfully perform default coding on the DME to solve the common "2FA4 incorrect data record" error after an ECU swap. Additionally, this allows for further modifications, such as:
Requirements & How It Works
This is a data-based flash method, not a standalone .exe program. You will need standard BMW software to use the provided files.
Required Hardware:
Remote Service Ready
Because this method works with standard interfaces, it is possible to offer this service remotely. Using remote connection software (like VPN or Remote USB), a technician can perform the reset for a client anywhere in the world.

Key Advantages of this OBD Method
- No ECU Removal: The entire procedure is done via the OBD port. No more working "on the bench."
- Time-Saving: Dramatically reduces the labor time compared to traditional methods.
- Lower Risk: Eliminates the risk of damaging the ECU or its connectors during removal and installation.
- Simple Tools: Works with standard BMW diagnostic interfaces like ICOM or a simple DCAN cable.
What You Can Achieve
After resetting the working hours, you can successfully perform default coding on the DME to solve the common "2FA4 incorrect data record" error after an ECU swap. Additionally, this allows for further modifications, such as:
- Changing the Power Class (e.g., for a 523i to 530i conversion).
- Applying a "decat" patch for catalyst removal.
Requirements & How It Works
This is a data-based flash method, not a standalone .exe program. You will need standard BMW software to use the provided files.
Required Hardware:
- A reliable BMW diagnostic interface: ICOM (recommended) or a DCAN Cable (INPA compatible).
- BMW Standard Tools (NCS-Expert, INPA, etc.), specifically WinKFP or another programming tool capable of using `.0pa` and `.0da` files.
- MSV80_STAT_BSZ00.0pa: The program/script file for the flash process.
- MSV80_STAT_BSZ00.0da: The data file used by the script.
Remote Service Ready
Because this method works with standard interfaces, it is possible to offer this service remotely. Using remote connection software (like VPN or Remote USB), a technician can perform the reset for a client anywhere in the world.
The files and method are 100% FREE.
Future support for MSV90, MEVD17xx, and other ECUs will be shared as it is developed.
