Official F10 Coding thread---Exploring Your F10

I apologize (especially to DreamCar) for the lack of communication. I was overseas and just came back. Unfortunately, I am leaving town again next week. I had a bit of a chance to do some coding. I report below the outcome of each (mostly for Shawnsheridan, whom seems to keep track of what works). A reminder, I have a 550i, no sports packages, but everything else.

Unlocks doors when engine is stopped (start/stop button is pushed)-->Works, but only the driver’s door unlocks

Closes windows + moon roof through Key Fob-->Works, via CA it was already default in my car

Folds mirrors with long hold of lock button on key fob or CA-->Works, long hold required

Opening doors (FRONT and REAR) will not interrupt window roll up operation-->Works

Button on key fob or driver side enables closing the trunk-->Works

Disabling camera legal disclaimers on iDrive, PDC and Sideview and Nightvision-->Works

Enabling Turn Signals in HUD-->Works

Navi fuel proposal-->it already was set as default in my car

Tire Pressure Control-->Works

Digital Speed in MPH in BC-->Works

Side View cameras to stay on all the time (except reversing)-->Works

Disable seat belt status display, reminder, sound – driver-->Works, but I still get a short warning at the beginning, none after or if I unbuckle.

Disable DVD Speedlock-->Works

Code for Phone Ring transfer-->Works

Increase the number of messages that can be stored in our car-->Works

Top camera and Rear camera view on-->Works, but the rearview camera stays on after I move gear to D. I have to manually turn off the rearview.

Remote Key with 4th button activation-->This seems to be the way it works on my car (follow me lights with short push) by default, despite the fact that the recommended setting is set to non-active.

High Beam Assistant to Automatic on-->Works

Sport and Eco displays-->No eco displays at all. For the Sports display, just an entry in the iDrive menu. When selected, I just get two lines labeled power and torque, but nothing happens to them.


I have not tried any changes to SLI yet (happy to help)

I have looked very hard for how to permanently activate the Auto Wiper on at all times with no luck. 1st Bimmer’s finding of the Beam Assistant on gave me some hope, but nothing yet.

Happy to help in any way with more testing. Thanks for all the good work.

Jeg23,


Thanks for that update.

I am surprised to see that TPMS worked fine in your car.

I think we never published how to increase the number of messages received .. well at least i don't remember since i thought no body would really be interested.

Shawn,

If not already there please add this to the excel or else i will add once i get it.


CAF [Combox_Media]----3006 TELEMATIK, 1B--->MY_INFO_SUPPORTED_POIS (We can increase from 25 to 50)

basically number of addresses/messages that can be stored in our CIC

DreamCar,

Sorry if I released the increase in the number of messages received prematurely. You sent me that one I did have a lot of messages and this change increased the number I could keep. I think it is a very nice option. A good find by you.

TPMS worked right away. No need to reset.

Looking for the Auto Rain sensor has been frustrating. I just went through the PIA settings, just in case the on/off relied on that. No success. Maybe it is something that cannot be set.

JEG23

Ok, where is the code for phone ring transfer, I can't find it.

Thanks

CMB_MEDIA-->3001 telephone-->Inband Ringing

Credit to DreamCar for that one also

Jeg23,

Actually i completely forgot about it until i saw your update.

I was too lazy(Working hard for SLI ) to test it and publish

how about coding bmw apps if you have post sept build or is that a software update?

@grizzles;
BMW Apps, Option 6NR can be added to the VO and coded, but it is not that simple. 1) As of ISTA/P 43.x, like navigation, you need an FSC Enabling Code, which has to be purchased, and isn't cheap. 2) If you don't have 6NF Smartphone Integration, you can get the BMW Apps working, although the iPod Plugin feature and video will not work.

My car is ISTA/P 39, CIC is at 43... my bad, I meant to put on 42 (no FSC required)....
Weird thing is with 6NR in the VO my main menu has BMW Assist, without 6NR in the VO the main menu has ConnectedDrive with BMW Assist as a subcategory...

The price I got for the FSC code was $675 US, there are two people that will get it and they're the same price... far too much for Pandora and a couple of cheesy apps..... and considering BMW is a $250 option for Apps.

Shawn, Dreamcar & mjgood:

I was able to try and test the KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB function in between today and it now works the same as with you guys. 3 seconds pressing on the keyfob and everything closes

@shawn
Here are the values that you requested.

REMOTE_KEY_SPECIAL_FCT= aktiv/Werte=01
REAR_SCREEN_IS_PRIMARY = nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
OPEN_RSCR_WITH_REMOTE_KEY_SPFN= aktiv/Werte=01
USE_FBD4=nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
OPEN_RSCR_WITH_PUBU_A_PILLAR=nicht_aktiv/Werte=00

SCH_FBD = aktiv/Werte=01
SCH_TOEHKI = aktiv/Werte=01
TASTER_FBD = aktiv/Werte=01

Fob Button 3: big hatch
Fob Button 4: Small boot lid

Interior Button 1: Big Hatch
No button 2.

Looks like nich_activ makes the big hatch work, where as aktiv = small boot lid operation.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. I discovered it yesterday, installed everything, built a cable and this morning, I was able to do my first successful coding to my F10 530d (enabled HUD Turn Signals, disabled Camera Disclaimer and removed SV-Speedlimit).
One thing I'm really interested in is adding tethered Internet to the CIC (SA 614). Anyone who can tell what to do ? Is it simply adding SA 614 to the SALAPA List and removing BMW Assist or is there some more to do ? By the way I'm living in Luxembourg, EU, where Internet is available from stock (althoug I didn't order it). Currently, my car doesn't have any Internet features running.
And : is there any danger when adding/removing an FA or could I run into severe problems ?
Many thanks for all of your help.

Here is what I have

CAS -- 3002 CLM -- REMOTE_KEY_SPECIAL_FCT -- aktiv/Werte=01
CAS -- 3002 CLM -- REAR_SCREEN_IS_PRIMARY -- aktiv/Werte=01
CAS -- 3002 CLM -- OPEN_RSCR_WITH_REMOTE_KEY_SPFN -- nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
CAS -- 3002 CLM -- OPEN_RSCR_WITH_PUBU_A_PILLAR - aktiv/Werte=01
HKFM -- 3010_HKLBEDIENUNG -- SCH_FBD -- aktiv/Werte=01
HKFM -- 3010_HKLBEDIENUNG -- SCH_TOEHKI -- nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
HKFM -- 3010_HKLBEDIENUNG -- TASTER_FBD --nicht_aktiv/Werte=00

One thing, I do not have USE_FBD4 in CAS. mine is in HKFM and here is the parameter for mine. assuming it is the same?

HKFM -- 3010_HKLBEDIENUNG -- USE_FBD4 -- aktiv/Werte=01

Rather off topic from this boot thing. for the Air Con, if anyone wants your A/C to remeber to stay off when you powered it off last time you turn off the car key, here is the parameter:

IHKA -- 3000 IHKA_Codierdaten -- OFF_MEMORY -- aktiv (My Original was Nicht_Atkitv)

Folks, help me understand the coding of the F07 Hatches as it relates to the dash button(s) and fob buttons. To that end, I would like to complete the attached Grid and examine what is common, and what differs in the coding as it relates to your current functionality. Thanks.

1st bimmer

can you tell me what does your say for this?

CAS --> 3002 CLM --> OPEN_BTL_RSCR_MUTEX

Mine is aktiv/Werte=01

thanks. not sure if related but like to compare this as well.

@yreiser;
Welcome! So you found this thread, and within one day, you downloaded everything, made a cable, and coded you car. That is awesome!

As for SA 614, since you are in Luxembourg, EU where Internet is available, you have an advantage over us, where a European VIN needs to be programmed into the COMBOX to trick the BMW Portal into thinking the car is in a supported country. I can't say for sure, but you should just have to add Internet, and Remove BMW assist from the VO, and then code the CMB_MEDIA module, via CODE (Not CODE FDL). Can you try that, and report back if it is successful?

OK, half of my problem is solved.

I coded my car the same as 1stBimmer. that is

REMOTE_KEY_SPECIAL_FCT= aktiv/Werte=01
REAR_SCREEN_IS_PRIMARY = nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
OPEN_RSCR_WITH_REMOTE_KEY_SPFN= aktiv/Werte=01
USE_FBD4=nicht_aktiv/Werte=00
OPEN_RSCR_WITH_PUBU_A_PILLAR=nicht_aktiv/Werte=00

SCH_FBD = aktiv/Werte=01
SCH_TOEHKI = aktiv/Werte=01
TASTER_FBD = aktiv/Werte=01

Now my inside button can open the BIG hatch. However, it cannot close! 1stBimmer, can you confirm you can close? any idea which parameter it would be?

also, my key, now the 4th button open the small hatch while the 3rd button open the big hatch. howeve rthe funny thing is that I cannot close the hatch using the 3rd button, I have to press the 4th button to close the big hatch! any idea which parameter would swap this 2 keys close function?

parts coding question?

because my CID did not come with my car, when I do a Read CPS, it comes up with ??????? as opposed to my VIN like any other parts.

any idea where I can EDIT this CPS thing? I think it is this problem that keeps triggering my ISIS/D a code that my CID is not coded for this car!

Read CPS can be found in Expert mode -- Coding -- Coding -- Read CPS

thanks

Just built my cable and am looking forward to coding. One quick question on the cable, pins 4 and 5 are shown to be grounded. Is this grounded to the car or to the laptop? I assumed the car, but turns out that pins 4 and 5 are ground pins in the ODB2 spec, so they are already grounded to the car...

Upon further thought, my guess is that the foil cable shield (if you have one) would connect to these pins...

A big thanks to the pioneers experimenting with all of this!

@jgscott987;
Pins 4 & 5 on the ODBC are tied to the Shield on the RJ45. Many people have not bothered with it and have only connected the 4 Transmit / Receive lines.

@ello888;

First, the Trunk / Hatch close takes a while before it begins working. Did you leave the vehicle off for an hour or so before testing the Close functionality?

1STBimmer had both USE_FBD4 and OPEN_RSCR_WITH_PUBU_A_PILLAR listed, and now you do too, as aktiv / Werte=00. Are you sure this isn't Werte=01?

Did you change all 4 (or 6 depending on the above aktiv / Werte=00 setting) of these parameters at once? It is best to change one at a time, and then test, to gauge the actual impact.

So if I understand correctly, now the Big Hatch Opens with Fob Button 3 and Closes with Fob Button 4, which is opposite as it was, and the Dash Button opens the Big Hatch, also opposite as it was, and Fob Button 4 Closes the Big hatch.

Before these changes, did either the Dash Button or Buttons 3 or 4 on the Fob close anything?

Again interjecting as an F07 owner who is not set up for coding yet...

My Fob buttons do not close anything. I tried to read back through and can't figgure out if @ello888's fob has been coded for this or if it is stock. If he coded a change then my comment is pointless. Sorry.

FWIW

Guys, still not able to make TPMS work ... I only get PSI and F, but no numbers next to it. I remember someone else (alex_c) also couldn't make his work, but we found out he had Nitrogen in his tires and assumed that could be why. I have regular air in mine, I've tried resetting it multiple times, have activated and de-activated "RDC_Safety" multiple times, but still nothing. Any thoughts? I've not tried to deactivate "RDC" on its own, worried it might screw something up, but have you guys?

I just got a GT as a loaner, it's a 550 2011 and the fob works exactly opposite as my GT! (2012) so as soon as I have time I'm plugging it on to e-sys and start looking at those ecu's.

@ello888, @shawn,

The large hatch opens and closes with the same button on the fob. (Button 3).

Ok, but what do you mean exactly with CODE (Not FDL), since, till now, I only know about how to code FDL?
