Store Configuration

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 59 other vehicles, including the 2009 BMW M5, 2009 BMW 650i, 2009 BMW 550i, 2008 BMW M5, and 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

On the E60, the sequence of control units in the MOST system network is identical in the front area of the vehicle. All control units located in the luggage compartment can be connected to the MOST bus terminal in any arbitrary order so that the sequence of the control units can change.

Diagnosis on the MOST bus is only possible over a known sequence of control units in the MOST. When storing the MOST ring configuration, the control units are written in their installed sequence to a registration file. It is first necessary to check whether communication on the MOST bus is possible (stability check).

The configuration is automatically restored after replacing or retrofitting a control unit in the MOST system network. This takes place after programming/encoding with CIP so that the control unit sequence is up-to-date.

The "Store configuration" function is not activated automatically when the control units sequence is changed manually in the area of the luggage compartment (e.g. accident damage repair).
