Open NCS Expert, click File -> Load Profile and choose “Expert Mode w/ Manipulation”.
Starting NCS Expert and Reading the Vehicle Order / ZCS
NCS Dummy (not technically required for coding, but this guide will assume you have it and are using it).
An NCS Expert Profile with manipulation enabled – I’ve attached the one I personally use to this post (requires NCS Expert V4 – included with the BMW Standard Tools 2.12 mentioned in the setup thread).
A working Ediabas installation and appropriate interface (see Intro to BMW Coding / Diagnosis and setting Ediabas).
