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).

Hello @shawnsheridan - Thank you for all your contributions to this great hobby and this forum

I have successfully coded many cars in the past so i am fluent in the subject

I just bought a certified pre-owned 2016 G12 however during the car prep the BMW dealer flashed it with an i-level dated July of 2020. It is not listed in the I level overview in the latest link.

I am using esys 3.27.1 or 3.30.1, launcher 2.8.2 pro with psdzdata lite 4.21.32

Because of the most recent I-level programmed to the car i cannot seem to edit the FDL's and the cheat codes do not work

Any chance you have a very recent psdzdata that would encompass an i-level dated last month for a 2016 g12 ? (I am sorry i dont have the actual i-level as i am typing)

even my version of ista does not have this i-level - i guess its time to upgrade this too

I really want to silence the seat belt reminder, it is quite annoying !

Thank you again

PM sent. For Gxx car, you likely need E-Sys Launcher PRO 3.7 or E-SysX for the latest ECU CAFD Mapping as E-Sys Launcher PRO 2.8 is not current enough, and these can only be obtained from the developers direct.

Back in action! I've updated my 2015 328i Xdrive to 4.23 and it's good... but I kinda miss the fake engine noise and the ability to have more than 3 turn signal flashes. Even the exhaust pops and bangs are more subdued in the latest versions.

I've read elsewhere that you can possibly revert back to older firmware versions, as long as you didn't go beyond your build date (3/15 for me). If so (flashed my car a few times successfully so far, had to use different E-SYS versions for NBT.. good times). Do you happen to have PSDZADATA Full 3.51? I think that is the one for my build date.
The fake engine noise was nice to clear out the AC low pressure hose whine.

Thanks and great to see you back, Shawn! (Read a LOT of what you've contributed)

Hello, is it possible to code the Alpina speedometer with 260 km/h scale on my M550d VFL with ID6?

I can only encode the speedometer up to 330 km/h in Alpina style myself.

Since my Vmax is not open, I would like to have only the scale up to 260 km/h.



It would also be interesting if it is possible to display the sport view in the instrument cluster in adaptive mode.



I am thankful for all information!



cu, Oliver
