Most of the time ECU flashing works without a problem but there is always the small chance that something could go wrong.  ECUs from different manufacturers all have their unique characteristics as well as potential problems too.

This article is about issues encountered when writing to 2015 and 2016 BMW S1000RR models with BMSX ECUs.  These issues typically occur after a failed or partial write to the ECU, as the VIN is stored on the ECU for these models.  If a write operation is interrupted before the VIN is written, you might see an error message like "VIN could not be found" as the VIN has not been written to the ECU correctly. 

If you find yourself in this situation please do not panic as the Woolich Racing technical support team have seen these problems before.  Please open a support ticket so that we can provide you with further information to get you up and running again.
