What is Included:

  1. Software Overview and Requirements
  2. Latest Software Links & Installation Instructions
NOTE1: URL Links are in BLUE and pictures are links to larger images.

NOTE2: Click here for Getting Started Guides, Tips, & Cheat Sheets

1. Software Overview and Requirements:

This guide serves Fxx, Ixx, and Gxx-series vehicles. For E-series, different software and cable are used. Complete Software & Interface Overview.

Supported Chassis Code Overview
Image


Prerequisites:
  • Windows 7+ Computer.
  • E-Sys = Main Coding Software
  • PSdZData Lite(~2.5 GB) = ECU Data Files. Works for VO & FDL Coding.
  • Bimmer Utility = Provides License (ie Activation), FDL-Coding mapping, Cheat Codes (Section 7), & other optimization.
  • Connection Interface = ENET Cable (OBDII to RJ45 Ethernet) or ICOM. For computers without an ethernet port, you can use USB-to-ethernet adapters


2. Software Installation:

NOTE: Links never change. The latest versions are usually found below.
  • Add a comment to the thread if links down or you need newer versions
E-Sys - Install Instructions - v.15.pdf (Guide courtesy of member Shawnsheridan)

Bimmer Utility - Mapping 4.35.42 - Only and recommended solution
  • Auto-updated and supports the latest mapping for the most accurate coding experience
    • Purchase directly from the developer's website.
  • E-sys 3.39.1 - Used with Bimmer Utility or alone for Programming and VO coding.

Latest PSdZData_Lite (~2.5 GB) WORKS FOR ALL FDL CODING & VO CODING
  • Use this guide to determine your I-Step.
  • You only need one lite version for coding that is equal to or greater than your I-Step.
    • NOTE: If you get a "Not Found [C012]" error when "Read Coding Data," it is time to update.
  • Do NOT merge. DELETE old PSdZData folder & REPLACE w/ new PSdZData folder.


By Resource:
  1. NCD / CAFD: Read *.ncd files offline and easily search for a function, viewing current settings as well as other options
  2. NCD Compare: Load *.ncd files using Folder icons or drag & drop and then the far right button initiates compare. Popup showing Left vs right values which you can highlight and copy if you choose. It also highlights *.ncd trees differences in red & you can scroll up and down.
  3. Decrypt CAFD: not just for CFDs. It also works for other Psdzdata files (eg FAFP).
  4. FA / FP: viewer; tool includes mapping (eg 430 Inter Exter mirror anti dazzle). You can search loaded FA or entire FAFP (ie available options). FP viewer allows you to view options by Vehicle Profile (FP) without loading FA (Vehicle Order).
  5. FA Compare: like #2, but comparing fas.
  6. FA-CAFD: You load individual ECUs *.ncd and can see how FA additions will affect (ie "what-if).
  7. SVT-CAFD: You load the entire saved SVT file and see how FA changes will affect (ie "what-if).

E-Sys 3.29 and 3.30 add nothing and are not supported by E-Sys Launcher, so using them isn't really an option.

Hi guys,

I hadn't updated my ESys in a while, but I just did a fresh install of the latest recommended software. Running ESys 3.28.1, Launcher Premium 2.7.1.135, and psdzdata 61.4 (full). When I try to FDL code my X3 I am getting "." for all the values in the CAF-Viewer and FDL-Editor. I am selecting F25 in the launcher and as the target when connecting to the car in ESys. Any thoughts on why I'm seeing this?

Thanks!

You must use E-Sys Launcher to Open E-Sys, and not Open E-Sys directly.

I Was coding My f30 and everything worked just fine until I went to code fem_body. It keeps giving me the not found error when I click read coding data. A Quick search came up with download the latest psdzdata so I did that and I'm still getting the same fault. Is there anything else I can do to make it work? Esys 3.28.1

All depends on TokenMaster and his schedule. Sometimes, it can be a day or two, and others, it can be months...

You gain nothing. What is possible is based on the car's firmware not the psdzdata version you use.

Update: I got it from the first post.. :D :D Sorry, my fault.

But what about Esys 3.27.1 and PSdZData 3.62.4 compatibility? Are they friends?
And what about mapping of latest PSdZData 3.62.4 with Premium 2.7.1_build135? According to the changelog of Esys Launcher, it was recently (at v2.6.0 build 128) upgraded to support only up to V3.59.4... There are no more information about newest PSdZData compatibility...


Hi Shawn,
Could you please send me the link for latest stuff for coding?
My car got updated by the dealer, all my codings lost..
Thanks!

E-Sys 3.27.1 works with latest 62.4 PSdZData, and remains the preferred version.

PM sent.

My mini F56 was recently dealer ECU updated and all my previous settings erased. I updated the psdzdata to support the new I Stop version, but I cant seem to find any of the same settings in the ASCM or BDC sections still. Am I missing a CADF file still? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
If you can read ECU, then you are not missing any CAFD. Make sure you are using latest E-Sys Launcher.

I'm using E-Sys 3.27.1 with launcher premium v2.7.1

I was looking under ACSM2 (there is no other ACSM listed) and it has the following CAFDs:
CAFD_000011AB_007_001_007
CAFD_000011AC_007_000_007
CAFD_000011AD_004_001_010

I was looking in the first CAFD (11AB), but then looked through all them. I'm basically trying to find where the 3000 Initialwarnung and 3000 SeatBeltReminder_xxx settings went. I cant find them. Did they move?

Thanks again for the help

Do you see anything other than dots (.)?

CAFD_000011AB_007_001_007 is Trimmed in Launcher PREMIUM.
 
#61 ·
Sorry but i'm confused by that question.

I can "Edit" the FDL under that CAFD (11AB) and open to see the Funktionen listing (ZUENDKRIEIS_XX, and a few other settings), just cant find the ones I'm looking for (search finds no existence of them). Do I need the untrimmed CAFD? Before the ECU update at the dealer I used Esys Launcher 2.4.3 with an earlier psdzdata that was supporting my I-Step then and I found those parameters in those areas with no problem. Does the new version of launcher trim it differently than last time?

Thanks

Disregard Trimmed part. I had to change Launcher PREMIUM Car Series to F056 to get invoke the Mapping; however, in looking at it, it appears this CAFD is not being mapped correctly.

No. It has nothing to do with E-Sys. The CAFD Mapping Database is builtin E-Sys Launcher.
 
#70 ·
No. I already confirmed you are "dead in the water", until new version of Launcher PREMIUM is released that has an updated CAFD Mapping Database. Why you are asking now about older E-Sys and older E-Sys Launcher escapes me. :dunno:
 
#71 ·
Desperation :cry:

Question is because it seemed to map those parameters before in the previous version as I was able to find and change those settings. Wasnt sure it was a function of the just the updated launcher or all of the above (new ISTA-P with I-Level, new E-sys, new E-sys launcher). That's all.
