First of all, INPA won't even say that my ignition is on, even when it's on, the door is closed, and I'm using the actual BimmerGeeks K+DCAN cable, not a knockoff unit.

Second of all, NCSExpert, after I hit "execute job," gives me a COAPI-2063 error and then a bunch of German about how the VIN #s don't match.

Anyone have any ideas?

Car is a 2009 128i. The donor 135i had less miles than my 128i, according to the seller. The EEPROM is the 080-type chip. All other steps went perfectly well.
INPA not showing correct status is wrong. Do you have the correct COM port selected in device manager along with the correct serial settings for the cable?
