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).

Fxx-/Ixx-/Gxx-series - PSdZData FULL Requests...

Hello, I have version 57.3 Is there a newer version? What is the newer version? What does it give over the older version? Most important, is it needed for a 2016 M3?

Question on the EsysX standard software, I see there is a separate purchase for updates, does that mean I have to buy this every time there is a new pszdata out or only when there is an update to esys?
Things will get very expensive if it is the former?

Both. If you are updating E-Sys, and current E-SysX version does not support new E-Sys, then you would need an updated E-SysX version. But, no need to update E-Sys. I am still Coding with 3.27.1.

And if you need new PSdZData CAFD Mapping, then you would need updated E-SysX with newer CAFD Mapping Database. But, unless you are changing to new car, with different CAFD(s) and which happens to be unmapped CAFD(s), then you won't need to update.

So odds of actually needing an update are slim.

Why this specific version? There is nothing special about it. It does nothing more or better than prior versions,

Well, latest is actually 3.38.1, which is not even supported by ESysX. As for anything newer than E-Sys 3.30,x, there is zero need nor benefit.

I don't use 3.37. I have no use for it, nor does anyone else. I use 3.27.1 for FDL Coding, and 3.30 for CAFD Injection and Flashing.

Often I have to use Launcher PRO 2.8.2 to test with, as that is what the vast majority are still using, and it has no support for newer E-Sys.

Help me ObiShawn-Kenobi - you're my only hope.

I have a Bimmer, 640d GC (Europe) from end 2015 with a regular NBT (3G, non-Evo).
I have options 6NS (Enhanced Telephony) along with 6AK (ConnectedDrive Services).
I understand that this should be enough to "activate" option 6NR (BMW Apps) in the car.

However, I'd need a valid 9C FSC installed, which I assume I can install via USB (well, hopefully).

It has come to my attention that you are able to "source" such a "09 FSC".
Waiting for your kind feedback then.

VIN (last 7 digits) is > G378025 <.

Cheers man ! Thanks in advance.
