FRM3 REPAIR E70 2010 BMW X5

FRM3 repair.

Please, also make sure your battery is in good shape and perform a complete energy diagnosis before repairing or replacing the FRM.

This was my first attempt, after researching hours and hours and going through the procedure in my head many times before attempting. I advise you to become mentally comfortable with this procedure beforehand as well, especially if you’re just an enthusiast and not a professional technician.

The tool I used is just as much as a new FRM from the internet (not the stealer). A new unit might be a viable option especially if you expect to only do this once in your life.

But for you seasoned technicians like myself out there, it would be a good investment (as this is a common problem on the Exx vehicles between 2007-2012) and great cost savings for your customer.

Make sure the fuses are good and solid power and ground is present at the FRM (I like to use a test light to verify circuit integrity), also make sure there’s a healthy CAN signal before repairing or replacing the FRM. Correct any power/ground/can issues first!
