I know this is a stupid question but would it be covered by the warranty?
Also read that Carly could 'detect' that the state of the FRM module is not good and warn user not to proceed with coding. Not sure if this is really works but..
I never used it, using only NCSExpert..
my car is 2013 X5 35i..
Yes Carly does detect a Faulty FRM. When I first got my X5M i tried coding the FRM with Carly and Carly threw me a warning saying that there is something wrong with my FRM module and coding is not recommended. The APP allows you to try anyway but not before telling you that your at risk. Even when i tried forcing it the coding still didn't register with the module.

I had the same exact situation as OP replaced my battery and full lighting module failure. Took my truck to BMW had the whole thing replaced and programmed under extended warranty and now I'm able to code it!
