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).

Hi shawnsheridan,

I'm struggling like the other guys with the expiration of Launcher Pro 2.8. Could you please send me a PM as well? Thank you.
PM sent.

Tried to do some VO coding there for 2VB, but when I went to code the BDC I was getting SVT errors and now my mood lightening doesn***8217;t work. Also was getting c105 error when I tried to read SVT, read ECU worked fine.

Stopped there and didn***8217;t try on any other modules just incase.

My est has expired but I didn***8217;t think it was needed for VO coding

Hi Shawn,

I'd be very grateful if you could also send the links to the latest launcher and PsDZData as mine are very old and not used since coding my F30 some years ago.

As dealers are closed, I'd like to force a calibration for the surround view cameras on my G20 where the view on one side is misaligned (since delivery). I found instructions on newtis.info which says to go to Service functions - Body - All-round vision camera - calibrate the 360 degree view function. The calibration would then be automatically performed when driving. Do you know if I can do this through ESys and would it be sufficient to use a ENET cable or would I need the ICOM interface?

Your help is massively appreciated, as always.

It is, but the .EST token for it expired on 4/20/2020. Options now are Launcher PRO 2.8 with new .EST Token, E-SYsX, or Launcher PRO 3.x (if you can get it as Developer is not responding for some time). PM sent.

One quick question, you know that have several version of E-sys software, if I for example want to install in the same computer windows 10 the version 3.27.1 and the version 3.30.1, I install the software in the folders for example "C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys3271\" and "C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys3301\", this is right and it's clear.

My question is about c:\Data folder, can use the same data folder with the 2 versions, or I need to make diferent data folder for each versions, for example use c:\Data3271 for version 3.27.1, and c:\Data3301 for the version 3.30.1, the question is for install diferents versions of e-sys need different data folder, or can use the 2 diferent versions of e-sys program with only one data folder? Thanks.
