How to use WinKFP for FRM3 flash

This WinKFP job was done with BMW ICOM A2 emulator for FRM3 flash after FRM3 repair/reflash by Xprog-m or other programmer the like.
After FRM3 was repaired, then need to flash the correct software in FRM3 module.
The flash can be done with WinKFP, and in 2 ways.
Comfort mode and develop mode!
The develop flash mode you need when the BMW ICOM Software repair dump not exactly belongs to car, and because safety reasons winkfp not leaves to update! In that case You need to use winkfp develop mode, which allows to be flashed any kind of software in any module!
First of all need to update winkfp spdaten.

After spdaten is updated , then open the WinKFP and choose comfort mode and enter ZUSB (bmw zb, part number), will pop up one window where u will see the choosed zb number, accept it!

Then click on done
winkfp-flash-FRM3-4

If you getting error , to can`t update because software incompatibility, then need to do by Develop/Expert mode!
In that case note down the details like in pic 4.
Ecu address, Identification number,PABD,P-SGBD.
Now You need to copy the data file from spdaten (exx/data/module name/coresponding data file) to winkfp develop folder (c://ec-apps/nfs/data/develop)
click on expert mode and choose manually all data what u noted down,and the coresponding zb number also!
Now You can start to flash with expert mode!

BMW Coding Tool Winkfp also have more functions like diagnostic , check aif and so on!
