About this repair

Specialist MINI R55 R56 R57 FRM3 Footwell Module Repair

MINI R55 R56 R57 FRM3 footwell module repair from Blackstone covers the common internal data-corruption failure affecting eligible FRM3 / FRM3R modules fitted to MINI R55, R56 and R57. The fault is often associated with a flat or weak battery, jump starting, low system voltage, battery replacement or an interrupted diagnostic/programming session.

We work on your original module, read and assess its internal data, repair the common corruption where possible and verify the repaired data before return. Because the original vehicle-specific module is repaired rather than replaced, its existing coding and configuration are normally retained.

Before booking

Common Symptoms Associated with This Fault

  • No communication with the FRM / footwell module during diagnostics
  • Electric windows no longer operating or several window functions failing together
  • Indicators or hazard lights not working correctly
  • Headlights stuck on or lighting controls not responding
  • Several FRM-controlled body-electrical functions failing at the same time
  • Fault appearing after a flat battery, jump start, battery replacement or low-voltage event
Important: This service specifically targets FRM3 / FRM3R software or data corruption and loss-of-communication faults. If the module communicates normally and only one lamp, window or other output has failed, the cause may be a wiring fault, short-circuit condition, output-stage fault, water damage or another hardware problem that is not covered by this data-repair service.

Compatibility check

Is This Repair Right for Your Vehicle?

Choose this MINI R55 R56 R57 FRM3 repair when the vehicle is fitted with an eligible FRM3 / FRM3R module and the symptoms match the common corruption fault. Before booking, check each point below:

  • Compatible vehicle / chassis range: MINI R55, R56 and R57.
  • The module label must identify the unit as FRM3 or FRM3R.
  • FRM1 and FRM2 modules are not covered by this listing.
  • Please compare the module label with the compatibility image in the product gallery. If you are uncertain, send us a clear photograph before ordering.

Please confirm your module version before purchase. Different FRM generations can be fitted across similar vehicle ranges. If the label is unclear or you are unsure which version is fitted, send us a clear photograph and we will confirm whether this service is suitable.

Simple process. Fast turnaround. Fully tracked.

How to Get Your Unit Repaired

Book online

Select Book Repair and complete checkout securely on our website.

Pack and send your module

Remove the FRM3 / FRM3R footwell module from the vehicle, protect the casing and electrical connectors, then package the module securely using suitable protective material and the prepaid Royal Mail label. Please send the original FRM module only unless we specifically request any additional components.

We repair and verify the module

Once received, the module is inspected and its internal data is read using specialist programming equipment. Where the common FRM3 corruption is confirmed, the damaged data is repaired and rewritten before the repaired data is read back and verified. Repair, testing and dispatch are completed within 48 hours of receipt at our workshop, excluding weekends and bank holidays — normally sooner.

We return it fast

Your original FRM3 / FRM3R module is carefully packed and returned by Royal Mail Tracked 24. Because your own vehicle-specific module is repaired and returned, replacement-module coding is not normally required. Stored diagnostic fault codes may still need to be cleared after refitting.
Please use the label we provide so your parcel remains fully tracked and qualifies for free postage.

This service is for eligible FRM3 / FRM3R footwell modules fitted to MINI R55, R56 and R57. The exact BMW/MINI part number can vary with production date and vehicle equipment, so module generation is more important than matching one single part number.

The part number alone is not always enough to confirm compatibility. Please check the module label for FRM3 / FRM3R before purchase. If you are uncertain, send us a clear photograph of the complete label and we will confirm whether the module is covered by this service.

Useful information

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this FRM3 repair cover?
This service repairs the common internal data-corruption fault found in FRM3 / FRM3R footwell modules, including modules that have stopped communicating and caused several lighting, window or body-control functions to fail together.
What can cause an FRM3 module to become corrupted?
A common trigger is unstable or low vehicle voltage, including a flat battery, jump start, battery replacement or interruption during diagnostic or programming work. The exact cause cannot always be confirmed from the symptoms alone.
Will the module need coding after refitting?
Replacement-module coding is not normally required because we repair and return your original FRM3 / FRM3R with its vehicle-specific data retained wherever possible. Stored diagnostic fault codes may still need to be cleared after refitting.
Does this repair cover FRM1 or FRM2 modules?
No. This service is specifically for eligible FRM3 / FRM3R modules. Please check the module version on the label before ordering. If you are unsure, send us a clear photograph of the label and we can confirm compatibility.
What do I need to send?
Please send your original FRM3 / FRM3R footwell module only. There is normally no need to send keys, the CAS module, wiring or other vehicle electronics unless we specifically ask for them.
What happens if the unit cannot be repaired?
If we cannot repair the unit, we contact you and arrange a full refund under our No Repair, No Fee commitment. Every completed repair includes a 2-year warranty, subject to our warranty terms.
