All BMWs Using ESYS --- Issues and Solutions

There is probably newer ones out there but it's like pulling teeth out to get it. The guy Nixtrade is more of an enthusiast and shares it. Just have to wait till he gets it in his hands. I would say about another couple of weeks.

So my software and cable are fine. Tested it on 2 other F10's today. Build dates 6/10 and 3/11. Read and coded every module perfectly. Went back to my 5/12 build car and cannot read all the modules. Also noticed SBR settings are labled differently in my car.

I have a 5/2012 535ix and it is funny that I can read the HU_CIC and you can't. I can't read FRM but you can. CAS was not a problem. I only tried to code a few things last night like Blinkers in the HUD, DVD in motion and got stuck on the FRM code change for the windows because I can't read it. So far none of my changes have worked. I see the option in the HUD options for the blinkers but nothing in the HUD when I check it. I think I am going to stop and wait for some more people with newer F10's to test this out. 0 and 3 and I have struck out. I will wait my turn to bat again in a couple of weeks when I have some more time.

Great forum. I enjoy reading all the posts.

I got my hands on 46.6 ISTA/P from a "source". But it's in an ISO and compressed in a very odd format. Need a few days to sort it out and will get back to everyone once I have it figured out.

Are the file extensions .jetarch ?

That is the normal compression for the ISTA/P discs, It's a bit convoluted to get them extracted... and usually come in 3 discs, unless they're using Blu-ray now...

Yes, there are 3 files in the ISO with .jetarch extensions. One is System, Client and Ispi. I extracted all 3 files with jet unpack and can't seem to find the data files I need. I'm still working on it, but if you have any tips please let me know. It would help alot! Thanks

If you only have one file for 'system' it should be close to 20GB in size, if it's 8.49GB then you're missing the other discs... I won't be at my normal computer until tomorrow, It's been a while and my memory is fuzzy....

If you have it all extracted, then files are buried several directories down... memory fuzzy on that as well

The system .jetarch file is what contains the PSDZDATA files, when it is extracted it should have created 5 directories (bin, ClientInstall, data, metadata,scripts)... the data directory is what we are interested in...

In that directory there will be files with an .7z extension, the PSDZDATA files are in the BMW-RR-UX.7z file (BMW.7z and Mini.7z are NCSExpert SP-daten files) I'm thinking the files names should be the same, WinZip can extract the files...

If you were to share/post the .7z file(s) that would probably be the simplest way to do so...since WinZip is free (Evaluation Version) it would be very easy for folks to extract the files themselves.

ok, i unpack the System .jetarch and i have the data folder. I go in there and i have BMWServices.7z and IsomL.7z. I extract those 2 and if i go into the BMWServices extracted folder, i get just some dll's and templates. If i go into the ISOML extracted folder and go in about 6 directories deep, i get to a section that lists folders called F001, F010, F020, F025. If i go into those folders i see folders listed with every module in the car (CAS, HKFM, HKL, KOMBI, etc). Within those directories each one has it's own .ISB file. They are definitely not large like you said. They are small 7-8k files. Maybe i have only the 46.6 "update" files. The original file i downloaded was called "ISTA-P-46.6.00-Update"

I have the ISTA-P discs for 46.0.
I'm looking at the same named files that you have, looking at the directory structure I think they might be some type of diagnostic files, not really sure what they are but not what we need for E-Sys.... The .7z file that has the PSDZDATA files in it will be close to 10GB.

Thanks for the info. That's not what i have unfortunately. I'll see if i can get my hands on the PSDZDATA files from the correct zip.

Update:

I realized I am using 43.1 as I got it from a torrent and not Rapid share. I am wondering if 46.3 will help with being able to access FRM. I have been able code almost everything except the Door lock/mirrors without it and lighting options. Including TPMS, HUD turn signals, truck close, etc. Also, Does anyone know is there is a way to use DVD in Motion with the USB cable and iphone without the cradle?

2012 535i 5/2012 build.

To clarify some of the questions, each ECU module has its own "version", and when new ISTA-P comes out, some will stay at their version even though integration level goes up with new ISTA-P. therefore modules that did not get upgrade such as FRM, can be still coded with old psdz files we have currently.

Another one is you will get "Failed to sign FDL. [C158] unless you have your computer's region settings in english. ran into this trouble today.

Seems like there is a 46.5 and 46.6 version out there. That might be the solution to my problem. Anyone have access to the newer data files? I can test it ASAP!

Hi all,

I'm having the same problems/error msg as "nj323ci".

I've only tried the VIM coding, and get the "File Not Found!" error...

My car's build date is 3/12, so not as new as nj323ci's...

Wow it seems as though alot of people are experiencing this issue. Someone needs to help the community to get these new PSDZdata. I think we can start a pool every other month to chip in for these new updates. I mean if everyone chipped in 5 bucks in no time we will have alot of money to pay for these new files! Just a thought as Shawn or Dream car can be the account holder for the money. I mean at this point its been free for everyone but as updates come along it will be harder and the waiting time for these new PSDZdata will become increasingly longer.

Not a bad idea, and I don't mind paying 5 bucks at all, but buy it where is the question? I have not seen anyone selling the standalone PSDZdata files, let alone ISTA/P 46.6 to rip them from.

Hmmm... Woke up this morning and triple checked my E-Sys install and data file structure. Just realized I only have 6 folders in C:\ESysData\psdzdata; have vers 46.1...

I'll DL ver 46.3 and try those data files...

I just got my car back from dealer, I have some problems with BMW Assist...

They had it almost 2 weeks and have been working with BMW Engineers, and no fix yet..

Dealer was told to put latest update on to try and fix, but it will be a week or more before they get the update, so I have my car back until the updates come in.

What I'm reading from this is that 46.6 may not be at all the service departments yet, once it gets out there the PSDZDATA files will probably start showing up...

E-Sys is probably the program we should all pool together on....

@shawnsheridan

yup, already dl'ing ver 46.3

thanks, hopefully this will do it for my car...

I'm not disagreeing Malcolm, but since E-Sys 3.18.4 has yet to quit working with any PSDZdata release, nor prove to be limited in any way compared to newer E-Sys releases like 3.22, why the need to buy E-Sys?

@shawnsheridan

I saw the thread at bmwcoding that said his was able to code with 3.20... but then I just went to it and saw the more recent posts, need to wait for f30fred to verify which data files he's actually using with 3.20.....

Asked him to check his CAFD files and he has yet to respond, so until he posts his findings, I will be quick to say BS

I agree. My late 5/12 build f10 I can code everything except cic with 3.18. I think updated psdzdata files are the answer, but I can't test until I get my hands on 46.6
