List of modules and abbreviations

deb10042 · Nov 21, 2014

Hi,

don't know whether it already exists eldewhere, but I will attach a list of modules and abbreviations with English and German translations.
I started to collect all those abbreviations during my coding sessions from different sources and threads/postings. I also tried to fill in the translations as good as I can. Curious thing is that many of the abbreviations stand for their respective German expressions, others are based on their English expressions.

Please feel free to update and/or correct the list wherever needed.

Handling would be easier with an Excel file, but only pdf is allowed to be attached.
(Perhaps, it would be a good idea to have such explanations made "sticky"?)

Hi,

from the sources, you pointed me to, I tried to make a consolidated list, so that we have one single source for abbreviations.

Some comments from my side:

There are several modules, which have the same purpose, but different abbreviations, depending on the car, they are used in; perhaps, even different software developers at BMW might have used different abbreviations for the same thing (e.g. "KOM" / "KOMBI")
Some abbreviations are standing for their German meaning, while others are based on the English expressions
There are several modules that occurred with different meanings (e.g. "CDC", which, at one place was called "Compact disc changer", at another place it stood for "iPod interface")
There is no warranty for the correct alignment between abbreviations and meanings, because all the sources are not directly related to BMW but to third party documents
Due to unsufficient technical knowledge, I wasn't able to translate every module name from English to Germen language or vice versa

Please feel free to update or correct this list, whenever needed. (sorry, I can only upload pdf-files)
