Does anyone know which software/wire i would need to code my new F15 2014 x5 30d?

No. If you have coded F10 and F30, you can figure it out. The key difference is that F15 has the new BDC (Body Domain Controller) "Super ECU", which is like FEM BODY on steroids. If you can't find a particular FDL Code, look in BDC.

Make sure under E-Sys => Options => Settings => Program tab => Memory Requirement => RAM is set to 1024 or you will likely be unable to read BDC. Do NOT use anything larger than 1024, or E-Sys will be unable to Open, and you will have to reinstall it.

For the second time, scroll up and read my post #4.

As I plainly wrote, F15 does not have FEM_BODY. It has new BDC "Super ECU". If you can't find an FDL Code, look in here.

It contains FEM_BODY, REM, JBBF, IHKA...

Hi, So I am almost done coding my F15.I successfully coded the Mirrors to fold with key fob, the trunk to close with key fob, edited the number of signals with a one click, took off the disclaimer, and closing window with key fob. I have one last code i want to configure but can not figure it out. i am trying to code the tail lights to stay on with the DRL. I know that i did it on my F30 with the following configuration:
REM 3062
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H_L_OUTPUT
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H_R_OUTPUT
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H2_L_OUTPUT
MAPPING_TAGAHRL_H2_R_OUTPUT

I know that instead of REM, it would be in BDC Body, but i do not see anywhere in BDC those configurations. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you.

Ok. So i just tried to turn on the turn signals on the HUD and it turned on my engine warning light and turned off the instrument cluster. So i put everything back to the way it was with regards to the Turn signals in the HUD and the Engine warning light is still there. The car is brand new and there is nothing wrong with the engine. Is there an application to clear that warning light?

First, to undo what you have done, you should VO Code HUD, KOMBI, NBT, or whatever other ECU's you have FDL Coded:

VO Code:

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

DO NOT hit Code Default Vales or you will have big problems.​

This will wipe out all your FDL Coding and return the ECU to its as-delivered state.

Then if CEL is still present, try and clear it with Tool32, which is part of EDIABAS.

Clear Fault Codes:

1) Launch C:\EDIABAS\Bin\TOOL32.EXE
2) Hit F3
3) Load C:\EDIABAS\Ecu\F01.PRG
4) In the "Select Job: F01" window, select FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL
5) Hit F5
6) "Results" window should show "JOB_STATUS = OKAY"

Note: fs_lesen_funktional only read fault codes, FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL will delete it.​

PM sent.

Hey Shawn, that F30 I coded a while back where I had the problem with the check engine light coming on, well after 2 weeks it just went away. I told him to just go in and have the dealership clear, but he was busy at work and never got to the dealership. Well after about 2 weeks he said he got in his car and the CEL was gone!

I have not tried that. When the light came on, I turned the car off and them on again and the light was still on. How long do I need to let the car "sleep?" What do you mean by clear faults. I want to clear that engine fault. Don't know how to though.

A bit over you head and just pushing buttons...take a break for an hour or so - the car sleeps, have a martini and check it again. Look for the information on how to clear the faults in this forum.

So thanks to you, my engine light turned off!!! But when the car is only on the battery, the light is on, but when i start the car, the engine light is off.

Also i checked to see if i have TFL_MODUS, and i saw it there, but it was already set to drl_s, and the other option was not drl_s_ohne_sl, it was tfl_s. Any ideas?

What were you trying to code? Rear lights can't be coded through TFL_MODUS on F20/F30/F15.

At least on ECE cars the easiest way to activate rear lights with drl is to add vo-code 8TL and vo-code FRM, REM or BDC.

Forget the section numbers like 3062. Just use the search bar at the top, and search for FDL Codes by name. Understand though that the search bar searches only from the Top => Down, so make sure you start at the top of the CAFD, and do not have any leading or trailing spaces in your search term.

Hey F30,

I'm getting my new 2014 F15 next weekend. I was wondering if you have a Cheat Sheets, just want to code few things. if not can you help where to find the following to code? Thanks

Looking to Code:
Close Folding mirrors, roll up windows and roof with key fob and comfort access handle
Unfold when the car is unlocked
Close tail gate with key fob
DVD video in motion

All of those coding options have the same names as in the F30. Instead of the FEM BODY and REM directory, they are now in the BDC BODY directory. You should look for a F30 or F10 cheat sheet to find the names and directories of each option. And take the name for the mirror folding and put it in the search field for E-Sys.

Where do I need to look for the options that used to be under FRM on F15?
I want to change halos brightness when headlights are on, enable fog light with high beam and opening door without interruption of window roll up.
