Will This Fix My Problem?

Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.

Fixes:

  • MINI windows and lights dead — FRM3 fault
  • MINI won't start, CAS / immobilizer failure
  • Replaced a MINI module and need it coded to the car
  • Water-damaged MINI footwell or CAS module
  • Need a MINI DME clone after engine ECU failure

Won't fix:

  • Mechanical ignition or door-lock wear
  • Blown bulbs / wiring faults outside the FRM
  • Engine mechanical no-start unrelated to DME/immobilizer
  • Very early R50 carry-over edge cases (ask first)

Frequently Asked

Still have a question? Text us — replies in minutes.

Why is MINI the same as BMW for this work?
BMW owns MINI and the R55-R61 and F-series cars use the same CAS, FRM3 footwell module and DME hardware as their BMW counterparts, so the same bench procedures apply.
My MINI's windows and lights died — is that the FRM?
Almost always. The FRM3 controls windows, turn signals, hazards, exterior lighting and wipers; when it corrupts you lose those together. We clone or repair it so the donor is plug-and-play.
Do you provide a donor module?
You can send a same-generation donor (FRM3 to FRM3, CAS3 to CAS3) or ask us to source one. The clone copies your data onto it so it matches your car.
Will the cloned module need dealer coding?
No. The clone preserves VIN and coding, so it drops in plug-and-play without ISTA or a dealer visit.
Can you clone a MINI DME after an engine ECU failure?
Yes - we copy your DME data (including the ISN pairing) to a matching donor so it stays synced to the CAS and starts the car.
