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

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).

F10 Door Handle Lighting in Reverse not possible.

For Sport+, in FA, change 205 or 2TE to 2TB and VO Code KOMBI, EGS and ICM.

Launcher Pro 3

So looking at the link for Launcher Pro 3 in the first post (which I'll need because I have a G20 and the free 2.8 expires soon it seems) but when you click on it you're sent to a site with no download options or instructions to get/donate. There is a login box that needs an access code ???? but no option to sign-up. Then it mentions Google Authenticator which only seems to be available on a mobile not a laptop. What are you supposed to do?

A related question....

The first post in this topic states:

"Launcher Pro 2.8.x
NOTE: Pro Launcher 3.x has newer mapping so you risk coding incorrect FDL's for G-series"

What is the extent of this? If I'm doing FO coding rather than FDL coding would it be ok to use 2.8 or is it completely no-go? Are there just one or two incorrect mappings I could avoid or is it completely f'ed up?

(Just being impatient and wanting to code now instead of waiting/risking a reply from Tokenmaster)

Thanks again.

OK guys so I failed at the first hurdle more or less....so the process I was trying to follow was...

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Save => Activate FA (VO) => Right-click FA - Calculate FP => Expand FA List on left, to SALAPA-element => add 6NW to bottom left window, and click apply changes icon => calculate FP again => Save FA => Read SVT (VCM) => Right-Click on Head Unit ECU (MGU?) (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE (Not Code FDL).

I connected OK, read and saved the FA but when I got to Activate FO it just seemed to fail. The green bar filled up several times but just kept going. How long does it normally take to Activate FA, seemed pretty quick in vids I've seen. I gave it a good 20 mins or so but think the process was in a wait state. Annoyingly the Cancel button was greyed out and nothing else would work so I had to kill the process in the end.

Any ideas? It's a G20 btw. When I read the FA I chose the last S18A that wasn't Direct.

Hey guys!

I've been coding with E-Sys for a long time but now, after updating to the newest psdzdata (from page 1 of this thread) and it doesn't work anymore. I can connect to the car, Reading the FA, Reading the ECU but when I want to read the coding data there comes an error message.

Can anyone help me?

I have E-Sys 3.28.1 and Launcher Pro3.0.4.90

Thank you!

What is the exact errror message?

I just retried it on the car because I knew you would know this ;)

What I found out is a bit strange to me:

When I try to read the BDC_Body (and many others) I get the error:
CAFD_000017BE_052_010_029 Fehler:

And when I try to read some others like HU_NBT ore PMA2 it seems to work :dunno:

see attached photos

Thank you!

"Doesn't map to an Item" means wrong Connection Target. Don't you have an I01? Why are you using F01 Connection Target?

Hello,

Trying to install TokenMaster's release of E-sys Launcher Pro that is not working. 2.8.2 I think it is, says the token expired about 9 days ago. Whatsup?
Yes, .EST Token has expired. Need new Launcher 2.8 .EST Token or Launcher PRO 3.x, which with Developer not responding is not actually possible, or E-SysX. PM sent.

Hi Shawn,

In the same boat as other folks with the 2.8.2 E-Sys Launcher Pro boat. Sounds like the solution is E-SysX? Or are there other alternatives?

I'm using the PSdZData 4.21.32 as downloaded from the first post--is that still the latest link or is there a more recent one that you're sending to people?

Thanks!

And you do not look hard to find out either as I have written how dozens of times in multiple threads.

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

* NOTE: Injecting CAFD (Detect CAF for SWE) and Flashing ECU's with >= v.4.17.20 PSdZData requires using newer E-Sys 3.30.0 or higher.

And this Thread is only for software request, not diagnosis / coding.

E-Sys 3.27.1 for Coding and E-Sys 3.30 or higher for CAFD Injection or Flashing if using >= v.4.17.20 PSdZData.
 
#1,570 ·
Not necessarily. I just wrote in post above yours to use E-Sys 3.27.1 for coding to ensure compatibility with Launcher. Each Launcher version has max E-Sys version that is supported.

hi @shawnsheridan, i am new in here, recently i learnt that launcher pro 2.8 expiration has ended, would you tell me how can i use esys ? thank you.
PM sent.

Yes, E-Sys 3.27.1 and latest PSdZdata Lite is what you need. You also need working Launcher or E-SysX Application. No idea on what G05 Cheat codes exist.
 
#1,597 ·
Not true. Launcher PRO 3.x works perfectly fine with E-Sys 3.27.1.

Latest PSdZData though requires E-Sys 3.3x for CAFD Injection and Flashing (not coding).
Ok, Now understand, is resume is the next:

-For coding any car I can use 3.27.1 with last PSdZData and work fine.

-For flashing last new cars I need E-Sys 3.3x and last PSdZdata, and no works with E-sys 3.27.1

Is this resume right? Thanks a lot for your comments.

Yes, that is what I wrote.
