Airbag Code 93DB

Thanks for the links, have already loaded the Standard Tools on a spare Laptop, will have to check if its the same as the BMCables package I have on my main Diagnostic laptop. Been playing with Tool32 without it connected to the car but in simulation mode and seem to have got my head around understanding the arguments string that has to be entered in to run the selected job programmes, I used a translation app on google to see what some of the requirements were in English, still trying to decide what some require like assembly numbers, software number authority number and dealer number also Tester Serial number. When I can plug into the car in fotr real will run the lessen (read) programme for the airbag module and see what is on it at the moment, hoping that will enable me to fully understand what the requirements are to enter the right strings of numbers in the arguments field to get a successfuln execution, currently I have something wrong as I get an error report after its run. Bit more playing required but I seem to have found my way around the software now.

Had another go at sorting Youdy's airbag light, since we replaced the main central module with a same part number one we have got rid of the original fault but have been stumped by the replacement having the wrong Vin number coded into it and is keeping the airbag light on.
Our previouse attemmpts at coding the module using NCS Expert, WinKPF have all resulted in failure despite following the instructions others have used with good results. Our latest session was using Tool32 and again following instructions we found attempted to code the new Vin into the module, it will not take the new Vin at all despite using the SIM85 program and using the correct arguments the job requires. I did have another go using BMW Scanner1.4 to programme the module but again it will not take the new Vin. I did use the Reset Module button and this actually made the airbag light go off. The next time ignition is cycled it obviously runs through the airbag system check and spots the incorrect Vin again and lights the airbag light again, no surprise there then.
At a bit of a loss now what else to try, I suspect one of the expensive scan/coding tools by Autel or Snapon might well be a way forward since we have tried all the BMW stuff we have access to. Anyone out there with such kit or suggestions on a way forward

Hello Colb
I have a same issue with airbag, i am curious if you could find any solution

No didn't solve it using NCS Expert or Dis software he ended up getting a independent in Cardiff who refitted the original and recoded ot to the car he doesn't know what software they used to do it. Was going to try new Launch Tablet Scanner coding kit to see if that would do it. Have used it on another car to try and change vin number on a satellite module but that failed possibly due to a crash locked module. Waiting for another car to have a go on.

Thanks for response, actually after getting wet carpet under the seat, the airbag light came on, i have no idea what is wrong
