Coding Internet over Bluetooth and not over BMW

Dear friends,
the car I m coding right now has more or less all options but there is one problem I would like to address (allmost all others are solved trough reading here):
As it is a Germany delivered car the Internet surfing option is only available trough a BMW contract (150 € per year) besides the BMW Assist/ConnectedDrive. I know that for some markets where the Internet option is not available there is the possibility to use the internet through bluetooth connection via smartphone. How and where do I code this? Some in the net were already successful but are not sharing the route how to do it. Of course I dont want to affect BMW Assist/Connected Drive. I would only like to change the Internet option to tethering over Bluetooth.....

Thanks a lot

Yes i have it. I will try to add it to f10 also.
Can you please tell me what you have in combox coding for config index and des index?
 
#168 ·
HU_CIC:
ONLINE_CONFIG_TABLE_INDEX = config_table_1
CONFIG_INDEX = config_index_4
ONLINE_DAR_INDEX = dar_1
DPAS_INDEX = dpas_4

CMB_MEDIA:
DPAS_INDEX = dpas_4
CONFIG_INDEX = config_index_4

thanks a lot, ill try this tomorrow morning.

Still no luck, i did the coding in cic and combox but i get the same stupid message "Homepage not available, please try later".
I am out of ideas.

Thanks again,
My car already was delivery with 6AL...
Vin - J407461.
Do you know where and how much to buy FSC Code?
I tried to add in the VO just but I don't know how I need to enter the code.
Office today worked for messages (just for delivery when I stay on the car) but not working for emails.
Regards

I did it just for Pandora and other streaming music. I could give a crap less about Facebook and Twitter though, which I now have, nor Video, which I don't have since I don't have 6NF to go with it.
 
#183 ·
So Shawn... how is the Internet/Live working with the actual in-car calls ? Cause if I understand BT data and BT calls can't coexist, right ?
What I mean is, say the weather... How it pulls updates while in motion ?

My experiences

Hi everyone, I would like to share my experiences about the BMW live and Internet over the BT internet.

First Step, I edited the my original FA file:

-Read FA, Save as a FA, then click Edit Button,
-Add SALPA to followings (if you don't have in your FA) : 614, 615, 6AB, and 6AL
-Also Delete or Edit your Bluetooth 612 to 644. (If your Bluetooth is another code, delete)
-Then Calculate FA, if no error, save it

Second Step is to VO code new SALPA elements to the car:

-Load the saved FA file, then activated it. (you don't need to write this FA the car)
-VO code the Media and HU_CIC
-Reset your CIC unit by pressing the mute button while 20-25 seconds.
-Wait 1-2 minutes after the CIC Unit starts, Check BMW Live and Internet is there,
-If Yes, everything is OK, follow the next step.

Third Step is Create a FA file with FAKE VIN number

-Before this step, don't forget the change TELEMATIK_VIN = Coding_VIN and FDL code it,
-Find a VIN number which has 614 and 615 in factory. www.bmwvin.com will help you to decode your fake VIN.
-Load your FA file which has been created on first step, then save as Fake FA and Click Edit button.
-Replace your original VIN number with a FAKE VIN, then Calculate FA and Save it.
-Load the FAKE FA, activate it and FDL code to MEDIA CAFD.
-Read the VCM, and Read the MEDIA ECU, that will show the FAKE VIN.
-If it is OK, Reset you CIC Unit again, and connect your BT and Update connectedrive Services ones.
-When update completed, try Internet and Live. Must Work
-After that, Load your the FA which is on first step, Activate it and Read the MEDIA ECU.
-Edit FDL, Change the TELEMATIK_VIN = MOST_VIN.
-Save it, and FDL code to the car.
-Everything will work but be careful, don't update connectedrive services any more.

Hi Shawn,

Just an update on my problem. Car was updated to 48.3 using ISTA-P and it seams that because in the original VO options 614,615,etc. were not present, ISTA erased or altered somehow the config_index data sets used for internet/bmw live connection. Thats why i was getting "homepage not available" error.
I downgraded car to ilevel 47 and now everything works normal, both internet and BMW Live. This was the first car i run into problems with internet activation but also was the first car at ilevel 48.3.
It is interesting to find out if indeed BMW takes decisive actions to fight unauthorized internet activation, and how exactly is modified the programming plan in ilevel 48.3

Also at 48.3, when you revert the combox to MOST_VIN, after it restarts i noticed its doing by default an "Update Services" which renders the internet inactive again.
 
#188 ·
Hmm...auto update of services is not good. Thanks for the information.
 
#190 ·
This code tells CIC whether the car has a single Combox, or whether it has the older separate TCU and MULF modules for Telematics and Bluetooth. I am not sure what the thrid Inbox setting is for though.
 
#192 ·
I tried to FDL the modified VIN to COMBOX and got an error at the end:
" Transaktions-Report: Aktion: FDL Codieren
CMB_MEDIA [36]
cdDeploy ProcessedWithError
cafd_000005b6-004_002_010 Processed"

When I read the coding data for that module, I get [yyyyyyy] as the VIN, should I add the CAFD again?

Regards,
.
 
#195 ·
I don't understand. Was Internet always there and working, but now suddenly you can't select it, or did you code it to be there, and can't select it?
 
#196 ·
I Just code by your step and code
HU_CIC:

CONNECTED_DRIVE = aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER = beide_aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE = aktiv (if also +6AL)
ONLINE_SERVICES = aktiv
ONLINE_SERVICES_GLS = aktiv

CMB_MEDIA:

SIM_ENABLED_MB = csim
DATACOMM_CSIM = aktiv
DUN_PROFILE = aktiv

and then the BMW Live and Internet is show up but reverse select function

so sad

anything wrong here or missing??
 
#202 ·
Thanks tristras

I have try it but why when I do the VO code then everything change to origin
(i.e ONLINE_BROWSER = beide_aktiv => no aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE = aktiv => nu aktiv
ONLINE_SERVICES = aktiv => nu aktiv
ONLINE_SERVICES_GLS = aktiv => nu aktiv

Did I do anything wrong??
 
#203 ·
Hi shawn,
It's doesn't show any BMW online and internet on my CIC
after when I coding the
ONLINE_BROWSER = beide_aktiv
ONLINE_BROWSER_LIVE = aktiv
ONLINE_SERVICES = aktiv
ONLINE_SERVICES_GLS = aktiv
it's show under the connect drive => BMW online and Internet
but just that I show you the picture, I can't use it

Why is this happen??
 
#204 ·
Do not worry about these individual FDL Codes. If you VO Code HU_CIC and CMB_MEDIA with VO that has the correct Option Codes, these will be set correctly.

You posted your VO earlier with the following Option Codes:

  • 614_PREPARATION_INTERNET
  • 615_EXTENDED_BMW_ONLINE_INFO
  • 6AB_CONTROL_BMW_TELESERVICES
  • 6VC_CONTROL_COMBOX
  • 6AL_BMW_LIVE
  • 6NK_EXT_CONNECTION_MOBILE_EQUIPMENT
Are these all factory options, or did you add any of these to your VO, and if so, which ones?
 
#207 ·
So now you have both 644 and 6NK? You only need 6NK.

In any event, did you follow the detailed instructions to write VIN with factory options 614 and 615 to Combox?
 
#215 ·
to what combox??

I have find a car as same as me but he have 614 and 615 VO so I write his VIN to My FAK_VIN
Yes. You will use his VIN with factory 614 and 615 and write it to the Combox, but again, you must follow the steps exactly as they are written.
 
#214 ·
O~~~I SEE yes I used factory VO not FAK_VIN VO
so you mean I need use FAK_VIN VO to code FDL in HU_CIC and CMB_MEDIA??
but when I use FAK_VIN to code and code FDL it's have error message
Yes, you need to remove 644 from modified VO.

Yes, you need to VO Code with modified VO. If you do not, how else then are the HU_CIC and CMB_MEDIA modules going to get configured to support the newly added options?

You are getting the error probably becuase you have the Fake VIN in the VO, but CMB_MEDIA => TELEMATIK_VIN is set to MOST_VIN.

This is very complicated and detailed to get working. I have written step-by-step instructions that must be followed exactly, or it will not work. If you do not follow the instructions, do not expect it to work.
