Token not need for VO Coding.

Use the second (bottom) connection target.

Hello. Can you tell me please, is token needed for "Detect CAF for SWE" function ? For used ecus coding..

I have installed 3.27.1 + "latest psdzdata lite" from beginning of this topic, and "Detect CAF for SWE" button is not active.
Token needed for FDL-Editor as well as "Code FDL"
Not needed for VO coding, including injection procedure to fix missing/corrupt cafd.
Is FA activated? Did you first select an ECU?
 
I played with E-Sys today and my adventure was short-lived. I have a 2019 X3 M40i, which means I should be using S15A as my target. The problem is, I have two targets for S15A as shown in the screenshot below. (They correspond to two subfolders under .\psdzdata\mainseries\S15A\.) Is it normal to have two targets or is my psdzdata messed up in that two different psdzdata volumes were "merged" together? If it's normal to have two targets, which should I choose? I run E-Sys 3.27.1. Both E-Sys and the psdzdata were downloaded using the links at the start of this thread.

Yes, that is fine. You can just select latest.
 
So I continued some more this evening. My objective was to backup the original data from the vehicle. Backing up of Vehicle Order went fine. "Read SVT" produced an error, but then I read elsewhere on this forum that newer vehicles require selecting "Read ECU" instead. The latter went fine, except that it produced a list of only 2 ECUs, which I thought was rather short. So I pressed the "Read ECU" button again. It returned a list of 23 ECUs the second time around. I thought that behavior was weird and maybe caused by the error I first received, so I closed everything, disconnected and restarted the computer, and started from scratch. When I got to the "Read ECU" step, it returned a list of 20 ECUs. Is there a reason why the number keeps changing? Should I perhaps be connecting to the car in diagnostic mode? (I should add that I am still waiting for a token, so I am running E-Sys as is.)

E-sys cannot read entire car if not in PAD or engine running.
 
Yes, quite normal. Response times vary widely from hours to months to never.
I also donated mid January, so far nothing from Tokenmaster. Although I can imagine that since the last token expired requests for Launcher Pro are quite piling up - and he's doing that for a hobby, not his day-job. So I'm patient and hope to hear from him eventually...

I continued playing with E-Sys yesterday (still no token, so cannot code). I don't feel as intimidated by the program as I was when I first began reading the various PDF manuals and tutorials. Things are actually quite straightforward after Shawn and Almaretto helped me properly connect to my G01 car. I now have the following problem: I want to compare two NCD files but TokenMaster's NCD / CAFD Tool 0.5.2 is giving me errors. When trying to open an NCD file, it reports "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Is the issue that the tool has not been updated to work with the latest trimmed PSDz data? I don't think the tool needs the launcher or any kind of registration, correct? (In case it is relevant, the two NCD files I want to compare is the stock file, CAFD_00002742_000_160_004.ncd, and the same file I read after coding the auto start-stop memory ON using Bimmercode. I wanted to see what Bimmercode changed. I can see the changes in the file in a binary editor, but it's not very informative. My car's I-Step is S15A-18-07-540)

I also have that error on some CAFD's I think there are new stuff the tool does not understand.

Bimmercode will probably just set TCM_MSA_MEMORY to AKTIV in FEM, this is the only thing my F30 needs changing to activate Memory setting for Auto Start/Stop.

Tool does not need Launcher. I get the same error sometimes; especially with newer CAFD's.

If you want to compare:
  1. Load NCD in FDL Editor
  2. File --> Save as FWL
  3. Repeat as needed
  4. Compare saved file with program like Beyond Compare
