MINI CIP

The acronym CIP stands for C oding, I ndividualization & P rogramming and with the introduction of Progman & CIP 15.0 it has become the sole software tool for coding and programming vehicles.

Initially CIP was developed for use on the BMW E65/E66 and newer models but has since been expanded to include all vehicles produced by the BMW Group. The interface will also be used for all MINI vehicles from start of production (those that utilize an SGC/UNIX programming structure).

The CIP software is capable of reading out the part numbers of all the control modules installed in the vehicle as well as the software levels of the respective modules. The information from the various installed modules is then cross referenced against a "master reference list" to determine if a module(s) needs to be updated.

Once this cross reference process is started it can result in additional issues such as

  1. If the software level in a selected module is updated will the hardware of the module still be able to function correctly.
  2. If the software to be installed is not going to be compatible with the installed hardware then the module will need to be replaced.

Example: A desktop computer originally built with a Pentium I, 75 Mhz processor using Windows 95 is not able to operate using Windows 2000. In order to operate with Windows 2000 this old desktop computer needs to upgraded with new hardware. However, a desktop computer designed to operate with Windows 2000 can be updated to Windows XP without having to upgrade the hardware of the computer .

To understand the function of CIP we will first cover some of the fundamental terms and theories behind coding and programming.

What is Coding?

It is a process utilized by MINI, which groups system specific operating requirements (Data) together and then assigns a label/code to each of these groups of data. The various groups of data are all pre-loaded into system specific "codable" control modules, along with a basic set of operating instructions (Program).

Types of operating requirements

  1. Nominal values of device input signals (0.25V to 2.5V, 5W - 25W,...)
  2. Type of device input signal (PWM, square wave, analog ...)
  3. Operational parameters (device activation/deactivation time,...)
  4. Market specific operations (O2 Sensors, Fuel Type, Emission Control,...)
  5. Country Specific Regulations (U.S., Canada, Japan, UK, ECE,...)
  6. Powertrain Configurations (Manual, Auto, Diesel,...)

Scheme 66

Scheme 66

The procedure of assigning one specifically labeled group of data to the operating program of a specific control module/component is referred to as "coding".

A "codable" control module has a basic operating program already installed along with several specific variations of operating data. The coding process allows a specific set of operating data to be assigned to the basic operating program of that module/component, with respect to its specific application.

Coding can be performed for some systems/components

  1. Selecting customer specific system operational settings from a list of available features (VKM)
  2. Automatically by selecting a specific coding process available via ZCS Coding or CIP using the DISplus/GT1/SSS.
  3. By using a coded ground wire to a module.
  4. Determined at the factory.

Note. Codable control modules/components are system specific, which means that not all control modules are codable.

What is Programming?

It is a process utilized by BMW to load application/system specific operating instructions (Program) into a module/component which already has the systems operating requirements (Data) installed, plus it can be used as a means of updating data and operating instructions previously installed in a control module.

Scheme 67

Scheme 67: What is Programming?

Basic programmable control modules have a pre-defined set of operating data already installed which allows the module to be fairly generic until a specific operational program is installed.

Programming of system control modules is performed using a DISplus/GT1/SSS.

Note. Programmable control modules are system specific and not all control modules are programmable using workshop equipment like the DISplus, GT1 or SSS. The ability to program a module is limited to the number of times it has already been programmed and the hardware version of the control module itself.

What is the Purpose of Coding and Programming?

As a global manufacturer, BMW must design a large variety of control modules to meet numerous vehicle requirements pertaining to issues such as

  1. Country Specific Regulations (U.S., Canada, Japan, UK, ECE, ...)
  2. Vehicle Equipment Level (Phone, Navigation, HiFi, IHKA, IHKR, ...)
  3. Vehicle Powertrain Configurations (Manual, Auto, ...)
  4. System Specific Operating Requirements (Nominal values, type of input signal, ...)

By using Coding and/or Programming, the large variety of control modules needed can be reduced to a smaller number of model specific hardware variations.

Codable control modules contain

  1. A common operating program
  2. A large number/variety of specific operating data groups

In order to use this type of control module it must first be CODED to ensure that the operating data specific to that vehicle/model application is used by the operating program of the control module.

Programmable control modules contain

  1. The required/specific operational data
  2. No operating program

In order to use this type of control module it must first be PROGRAMMED to ensure that the operating program specific to the vehicle/model application is used.

Prior to the availability of Coding and Programming in the workshop this task could only be performed at the factory.

Initially the factory installed Control Module(s) with a common operating program or data into vehicles and as theses vehicles reached various points in the assembly process the control modules were updated with the required operating data or program specific to the application for that particular vehicle. Since replacement parts always need to be available, parts inventory needed to contain all variations of preprogrammed control modules installed in all varieties of vehicles that were manufactured. This was not a big problem in the early years, when the variety/quantity of models was smaller.

As the number of control modules and the complexity of the various systems installed into vehicles increased, the number of modules that needed to be stored in parts inventory began to increase as well. Eventually this led to the stocking of hundreds of different control modules that were either pre-programmed or pre-coded for a specific application and model, but only differed slightly in the way they were coded or programmed.

Pre-programmed and pre-coded control modules always needed to be available in the event a control module failed once the vehicle left the factory floor, since this was the only place programming & coding procedures could be performed. In order for repairs to be made quickly, dealers were required to maintain a stock of several varieties of control modules, since technicians could only remove the failed module and installed a new preprogrammed or pre-coded module into the vehicle.

As a result of having to maintain a very large inventory of pre-programmed and pre-coded control modules in parts inventory, it was decided to make coding and eventually programming available in BMW workshops.

Scheme 68

Scheme 68

The following advantages have occurred since programming and coding can be performed in the workshop

  1. Fewer control module hardware versions are needed (only need basic control modules)
  2. Lower parts and inventory costs
  3. Able to update software in a control module without having to replace the module (Re-Code/ Re-Program to address service Measures)
  4. Ability to add special equipment features to existing control modules (DWA, Day Time Running Lights, ...)
  5. Customization of vehicle operation (Conversions, VKM, A/C, ...)

The means by which coding or programming information is provided to a control module varies and is determined by the vehicle, model year and type of module(s) installed.

BMW currently uses the following methods to perform Coding or Programming

  1. Coding Plug
  2. DME variant Coding
  3. Coding Code
  4. Central Coding Key (ZCS) or Vehicle Order (VO)
  5. EPROM Programming
  6. Flash Programming
  7. Vehicle and Key Memory (VKM)

Where is Data Stored in a Control Module?

The control modules used in our vehicles store data/information on one of the following

  1. EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory)
  2. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)

in essence these devices are similar to the harddrive of the PC ( P ersonal C omputer) that many of us use daily to store the images and documents/files of information.

EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory)

An EPROM is a computer memory chip that can be electrically programmed, however this chip cannot be erased using normal means.

In order to erase data that is stored on the chip it must be removed from the device and exposed to UV lighting for a specific time period. An EPROM has what is commonly called a "window" on the top portion of the chip usually located underneath a protective label, it is this area that must be exposed to UV light of a certain intensity for a specific time period in order to erase the information stored on it.

MINI does not currently utilize EPROMS on current vehicles.

Scheme 69

Scheme 69: EPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory)

EEPROM (Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory)

An EEPROM is a computer memory chip that can be electrically programmed and electrically erased, thereby not requiring the chip to be removed from the module or exposed to light. In general this chip is not easily removable from the device it is installed into (it is usually soldered in its place.

Since the entire process of programming and erasing is done electronically this device is commonly referred to as "Flash Programmable" .

During the programming process the following type of information may be loaded into the control module depending on the specific application or update that needs to be installed

  1. Characteristic Maps (Ex. Ignition, Injection, Purge Control, DSC Regulation, ...)
  2. Control Constants/ Operational Data
  3. Operational Program
  4. Control Module Identification Information (Ex. Hardware Number, Program Number, Date of Modification, ...)

At this moment, modules with EEPROMS can only be flash programmed ("flashed") , can only 14 times total. If the module has to be programmed a 15 th time, it has to be replaced.

What is needed to Code and Program?

In order to code or program a vehicle or control in the workshop, specific equipment and special software is required such as a DISplus, GT1 and an SSS which must all be connected to a network and have the must current version of CIP ( C oding, I ndividualization & P rogramming) installed. CIP is the software program that contains all the latest data and program information to allow control modules to be updated to the latest level to address customer concerns and implement service solutions.

With the release of CIP 14.0 and the implementation of Progman (see ) the DISplus and GT1 will only be capable of performing vehicle diagnosis and activation/initiation of a Coding, Individualization or Programming task through the SSS. A special program management tool (Progman) will only allow the DISplus and GT1 to act as remote terminals to the SSS (regarding Coding, Individualization & Programming), which means that the SSS will be the single supplier of Coding, Individualization and Programming information to a vehicle and its respective control modules.

Introduction

As part of an ongoing process to reduce the need for country, model and option specific control modules, MINI utilizes a multi digit vehicle coding structure referred to as a Central Coding Key (ZCS).

The Central Coding Key (ZCS) is a unique 37 digit code that contains specific model, country variation and individual equipment/option information for a vehicle.

Scheme 70

Scheme 70: Introduction

During the manufacturing process of a vehicle, the ZCS code is created to identify the specific vehicle being built and to properly code the control modules installed during the assembly process once the vehicle reaches the end of the line. To ensure that the ZCS code can be retrieved once the vehicle leaves the factory it is stored in two control modules, the cluster and the EWS.

ZCS is often referred to as a "key" since it is able to automatically "unlock" or "activate" specific functions of a new control module or can be used to recode a used control module to be compatible with the specific vehicle it has been installed into. With the introduction of the E31 the ZCS information was used for the first time as a coding key for replacement vehicle control modules, this ensured that the replacement modules would be coded to the required specification of the vehicle.

These codeable modules have no limit as to the number of times that they can be recoded.

ZCS Structure

The 37 digit structure of the ZCS is subdivided into three segments. The segments represent specific information about the vehicle.

Each segment ends with a checksum "digit". A checksum is utilized by the coding software to detect unacceptable/erroneous manually entered coding information.

Scheme 71

Scheme 71: ZCS Structure

The information/digits of the ZCS code reflects the options installed in the vehicle and should never be changed manually unless it is necessary for special recoding functions such as

  1. Canadian market vehicle being moved to the US
  2. Retrofit installation of an accessory system (ie. alarm or satellite radio)

For extreme cases; If a modification needs to be made to the ZCS structure and there is no information available in a service bulletin then the Technical Hotline should be contacted for assistance by submitting a PUMA case, requesting a modified ZCS code.

Each portion of the ZCS provides specific information regarding that vehicle

GM (Grundmerkmale) - Identifies the "Basic Features" of the vehicle and contains 9 digits that are used to describe

  1. Vehicle type (R50, R52, R53 ...)
  2. Specific body style of the vehicle (Convertible, Coupe ...)
  3. Country specific coding identification (US, UK, ECE ...)
  4. Unique equipment that affects the basics of the vehicle (with sunroof, without sunroof, wheel size ...)
  5. Basic language variant (English, Spanish, German ...)

SA (Sonderausstattungs) - Identifies the "Special Equipment" of the vehicle and contains 17 digits that describe what features/functions are installed in the vehicle, such as

  1. Power Windows or Manual windows
  2. Power Door Locks or Manual Door Locks
  3. Power Sunroof or Manual Sunroof
  4. Power Convertible Top or Manual Convertible Top
  5. Satellite Pre-wire

The SA segment is configured to provide a total of 64 possible number combinations (option groups) for all series vehicles worldwide. The information is modified whenever a new component/accessory is added to the vehicle via a retrofit coding procedure.

VN (Versionsnummer) - Identifies the "Version Number" of the vehicle and contains 11 digits that are used to describe

  1. Series specific coding data that are not reflected in the GM or SA segments. This includes, model year dependent data, software and hardware versions of the control modules installed, coding instructions, etc.

The VN is displayed as 40 possible combinations of digits. A deliberate change in the VN will result in erroneous coding data being used when recoding a module or coding a replacement module which will affect the proper operation of a control module(s) coded with an incorrect VIN.

Scheme 72

Scheme 72

ZCS Stored Location in Vehicle

The ZCS is stored in the vehicle to simplify the coding procedures when a module needs to be recoded or a replacement module needs to be coded. The ZCS information is stored in the cluster and the EWS.

The procedure to code control modules that utilize the ZCS information can be performed via the DISplus/GT1 or SSS using Progman with CIP 15.0 or higher and accessing the "Codierung ZCS/FA" function. Always reference service bulletins for information regarding the latest coding version and any possible software errors.

When coding a ZCS codable control module the coding program in CIP automatically searches the stored location, based on the VIN, and codes the selected module according to the information provided in the ZCS code.

The ZCS information is stored in two locations, referred to as redundant data storage, this insures that the information is always available in the event the primary device storing the data fails.

Note. If the module primarily storing the ZCS code fails, the coding software will automatically use the information stored in the "back up" module.

ZCS Identification / Display

The ZCS information for a specific vehicle can be obtained by

  1. Accessing the control module(s) that electronically stores the information, using the DISplus/GT1 or SSS
  2. Contacting technical hotline

Control Modules Flash (EEPROM) Programming

An EEPROM is an E lectrically E rasable P rogrammable R ead O nly M emory chip that is soldered onto the circuit board of a control module. This signifies that programs & data stored on the chip can be electrically erased and replaced with new/revised programs or data.

In order to erase the data on the chip a short duration low level voltage/charge is applied to a pin on the EEPROM and the stored data is erased, hence the name "Flash". Once the data is erased new data is loaded.

By using a this technology, control modules have the ability to be updated a total of 13 times before they need to be replaced.

Theoretically an EEPROM can be erased and reprogrammed more than 13 times, MINI set the number to 13, since a point will be reached where the update being installed may no longer be compatible with the hardware of the installed module which could result in erroneous operation. If the program is not compatible with the hardware version of the module, the program used to determine the correct update for the module will indicate that the module will need to be replaced before the update can be performed.

The reference to Flash programming is a result of the technology used to erase the EEPROM prior to installing a new program and or data.

The utilization of EEPROMs started with Engine Management Systems and has expanded into other control modules.

Determination Process for DME EEPROM

The CIP program is used to determine the correct replacement part numbers (Control Module or software update) to be installed.

For modules that utilize EEPROMs/Flash programming the determination process is done automatically as part of determining a measures plan.
