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).

Does anyone know if you can reset the activation code for Launcher 3? My computer crashed and I need a new code. I emailed TM, but he usually takes a little, so hopefully someone here knows...

Alternatively, can you specify the code in Launcher which matches the activation? Seems Launcher generates a new code based on computer...

If you reinstall windows or change hardware, it modifies device ID, requiring a new activation code.

You get two activation and can request more, but only TM can raise limit.

Running E-Sys v3.27 on Surface Pro 4. E-Sys User Interface that displays on my Surface is almost unusable - most of the menus are not visible and cut-off. I've seen videos where E-Sys is large and clear. What should I do to make it look normal?

Thanks!

Hello Coding Community!

Could someone shoot me a PM with whatever came from the issue that began at the beginning of the year? I just happened to be setting up a fresh hard drive on my Mac on or about 12/30-12/31 but I kept getting the same error everyone was getting at that time.

One of our i3's goes in Friday for some warranty work and a software update, I would like to have everything ready to go to re-code when I get the car back.

Thanks in advance!

Not even released yet. And why would you need it if it was? E-Sys 3.27.1 is still best option over 3.28 and 3.30, and 3.31. :dunno:

Can I inject CAFD in the RDC module with the car running, I think I can but would like confirmation before I corrupt something by doing it wrong

No. There is no such thing as an RDC CAFD, RDC Module is not codeable.

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the quick response. I have a 2013 X3 that I had to replace the RDC Antenna Module located behind the rear tire with a used one. The car doesnt recognize it, from other members posts It looks like i need to detect CAFD for SWE for the RDC ECU then choose latest I level and then right click RDC ECU and select CODE. Am I missing something ? and can I do this with engine running ?

You cannot do this with RDC Module. It does not have a CAFD, so you certainly can't inject CAFD into ECU. This ECU by design is not Codeable, hence no CAFD. RDC can only be programmed (flashed with new firmware).
