E-Sys Software

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and was wondering if anyone could please help me find a link where I can download the E-Sys software and any step-by-step or guidance on how to code my 2013 BMW F30 to enhanced Bluetooth audio. I have a Navigation system installed in my car so I am assuming my car would be compatible for coding. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Just want to thank Shawn, coding my 316i was straightforward and worked first time. Following the instructions he provided was easy and now my car does Bluetooth music streaming, has the office function, has the ability to pair an additional phone for receiving or placing calls on, and also has enhanced USB capability meaning that my iPhone connects to the car via USB without the special BMW cable.

There are many businesses out there that attempt to charge you extortionate rates to code some simple stuff and I'm glad I took the time to do it myself. Massive thanks to this forum and Shawn for proving all the information you need.

Edit:
The track change wheel on my steering wheel doesn't appear to do anything, but I can change track by using the buttons on the head unit itself. Also my voice control button on the steering wheel has never done anything. Are both of these things solvable by coding?

Hello, I have received my ENET cable and attempted to connect to my BMW for the first time. I've followed the instructions to the letter. Turned off Wifi and disabled all antivirus etc on my laptop. Ethernet socket set to DHCP. Car running. Connected ENET cable. Waited... Waited.... and nothing! My laptop simply won't recognise that anything is connected to the Ethernet socket. I'm aware that it can take a minute to go into DHCP fallback mode but I've left it connected for over 5 minutes and it's not recognising the connection. I tried numerous times to no avaiI. I loaded E-Sys anyway and as suspected the 'Connection via VIN' option is greyed out.

Any suggestions? Maybe a faulty cable?

Has anyone got any ideas? Shawn? I've tried just about everything I can think of. There is definitely no problem with the Ethernet input on my laptop, also no problem with the OBDII connection on the BMW as I had someone plug an OBD WiFi dongle into it and connect it to their generic fault detecting program. Left me thinking it must be the lead, however, I plugged the lead into my Range Rover, which turned out not to be such a good idea, as it clearly detected the connection and threw the Range into a bit of a spasm! (after a little drive all the computer faults rectified themselves).

You will not be able to connect via VIN unless PSdZData is properly installed, and the Car and Laptop have a connection. For this:

1) The Target Connection Window should not be blank (It should show multiple target connections for different chassis')
2) ENET Cable must be good and making good contact in OBDII Port
3) Car must have proper voltage (Make sure motor is running if car is not on a Charger).
4) Laptop must not have Firewall or any Antivirus software running.
5) PC Lan Adapter should get a fallback IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx (Make sure it is using DHCP and does not have a Static IP address assigned to it)

I have got the full list of chassis in the target connection window (does this mean PSdZData is installed correctly?)
Car is running and OBDII is plugged in properly.
All antivirus and firewall turned OFF.
LAN input is set to DHCP.
My laptop is seemingly not detecting the LAN connection.

Is there a specific 'order' in which things should be done? I've gone with car running first. Then connect ENET cable and nothing happens. It does not show any connection and I get no yellow exclamation triangle in connection status. I've also tried starting E-Sys and still no connection.

UPDATE: It was a faulty cable. Received my new cable and it connected straight away. Now just to learn how to code......

Hey guys Im new here at the forum. From the netherlands.

Recently bought my 3rd BMW. :)eek: cheated with 2 mercedes w204 (430.000km and w176 320.000)
After the E36, E46 (600.000km) i now have a 2016 318d lci with business NAV.

Can someone help me get e-sys please?:)

I drive about 80.000-100.000 km a year. (Drivingschool)
So ill get to know the car real good in 1 or 2 years and will try to share my findings.

Dont know if i am in the right post but I want to change the screen 6.5" to 8.8 without changing other units. Allready have the new screen at home.

If there is someone who can help me with the steps I will really appreciate.

I've been driving with pleasure in a BMW F30 for almost 2.5 years. Immediately after receiving, I've adjusted some settings (extended bluetooth support, start-up and standard comfort mode). A few months ago I noticed that it became very hot in my car. I went to the dealer but they couldn't find or reproduce the problem. That was not very surprising, since the problem kicked in after driving for at least an hour, with the airconditioning on the driver's side just blowing hot air.

Last week I decided to go back to the dealer, which, in the process of replacing and coding a new central unit, found out that there were adjustments in the car (extended bluetooth support added) and immediately indicated that this was the cause that the air conditioning did not function properly. The dealer reverted the settings and is now charging me with the total costs of analysis and the new central unit. I think this is a very strange story and it just doesn't feel right. I feel I'm being screwed and I doubt that it can be proven that this really the cause. In addition, it is of course very strange that the problems starting to manifest after almost 2.5 years. This, too, just doesn't add up.

Does anyone have experience with this? Could the coding of extended Bluetooth support suddenly affect the operation of the airconditioning after it has been functioning perfectly for almost 2.5 years?

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

Hi Shawn, I am kind of new to this community, but am following it since I purchased my latest BMW.
You are always very helpful and I thought you might also have a solution to my problem.

I have a F30 - 2013 328 ix (US version)
I have no navigation and no combox in the trunk. I do have 6NH and Bluetooth hands-free is working.
This car has HU_ENTRY and as I understand the EBT cannot be coded to that car.
The problem is that I didn't read all the posts carefully and I was just sticking to your thread (http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8020396&postcount=7), so I thought that my car can have EBT so I tried to code it.
I changed FA from 6NH to 6NK and then I did all the "step 2" procedure. After final step, when HU supposed to be coded, I got that error:

HU_ENTRY [63]
cdDeploy FinishedWithError
cafd_000000f9-007_009_009 FinishedWithError

The unit is now not working properly (car is pretending to be F20 :)) and radio and multimedia etc. is not working at all. The only language that works is French.
So i tried to load back an old FA and code it again.
But the cafd is missing (there is no cafd under HU_ENTRY ECU), so coding is not possible.

At that time, I was using E-sys 3.27.1 with PSdZ 3.59.3.002. Since HU was updated 1 year ago with the latest firmware, I switched now to PSdZ 62.4.001.
I still can't see the cafd, but before coding, it was there and working normally with the old PSdZ version (I did several FDL codings).

Do you have any idea how can I solve that?

You need to inject CAFD back into HU_ENTRY and VO Code module with original FA:

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Left-Click on HU_ENTRY = > Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level shown (bottom one) => Select OK => Right-Click on HU_ENTRY (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.
