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).

Hi, im pretty new here and im looking foward to get the latest softwares to be able to code my mini. Ive tried downloading in my laptop E-sys and it downloaded and installed just fine, in the other hand im having issues with the files of the Psdzdata. I don’t know im downloading it wrong or what but when its time to extract it and do what you are supposed to do with it its like the file its not the correct one or there is no app to open the file. Ive tried in my macbook pro with Parallels and a windows laptop too and got the same results.

Do NOT use Macbook. Extract psdzdata.rar file and you will have a psdzdata folder, then delete and replace the psdzdata folder in C:\Data with newly extracted one.

@shawnsheridan and co, for new coders is there any hope? Looks like esysx and Launcher are both out of commission. I've managed to download everything else but haven't really embarked on getting it set up since it sounds like, from reading, that not much can be done without a launcher these days. Am I reading that correctly or are we able to use an existing/older tool that doesn't require one of these developers who are now out of commission? Thanks for the support!

For Now, there is only Launcher PRO 2.8.2:

From TokenMaster's Blog:
UPDATE: 06/20/2020 - Uninstall the old version, download and reinstall the new, repackaged version and the updated BFU_XODE.EST

Hi Shawn
Thanks for the latest full files
Got a little confused
Can you direct me to where I place the full files once downloaded and extracted in Esys
Do I just leave them within Esys folder or are they to be put somewhere
I tried searching within the community but for myself more confused
Thanks in advance

Hi Shawn, can you send me please the latest full psdzdata please? I have 2017 F21.

Is Esys 3.27.1 enough to program my HeadUnit? If I have a communication problem shown on ISTA after trying to update, and the screen is stuck on Bootloader, will ESys help me to communicate and program it?

Many thanks

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. PM sent.

I have no idea if HU can be reached with E-Sys given its current state.

You have to use Built-in Launcher Cheat Codes or find Cheat Sheet file for F055 with codes you need.

@shawnsheridan
Hi Shawnsheridan, could you tell me which version or esys and pzdata for 2016 G12 7F23 ?
Trying with esys 3.36.2 and pzdata 4.31.31 but that does not work - not showing Data even though I can connect.
Also: I have four S15A options (I know not to use to two direct ones) but which one from the two remaining.
Thank you.p

Connection is bottom (newer one) without _DIRECT at end.

What does "not showing Data" mean? If you mean when you Edit FDL that the CAFD Data is missing (Trimmed) then your Launcher Application is no good. What Launcher Application are you using?

If you are using Launcher PRO 3.7, there should not be a mapping issue. Post picture of missing data and error message above.

Its Trimmed. If you are getting that with Launcher PRO 3.7, then you need ESysX instead, which is unavailable from Developer for time being, meaning someone with ESysX would have to code it for you.

Sorry, my mistake. I did not have Launcher running properly. Just seen this now.
How do I get a Licence Key for that ? Is there any launcher without Licence keys ?
