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

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,

could i please get the latest link to?

have retrofitted power folding mirrors to my 2016 F36 and tried coding 430 with e-sys 3.33.0/psdz 5.07.01 and v.63.3 psdzdata lite but keep getting error that cafd_00000794.caf.012_035_117 cannot be found/missing after coding, checked and the cafd_00000794.caf.012_035_117 is in the cafd folder. would i be right in thinking i just need the latest files?

cheers,
Gerry.

Hi Shawn,

Alpina B6 - kudos to you, sir.

I want to code my Alpina D3 (F31, 2014). Please can you provide me details of the latest links. Is there a getting started guide too (I've previously used ISTA for diag', but E-sys is new to me)

I am in awe of you commitment to the coding cause.

My sincere thanks in advance.

There isn't one where you can get ISTA with the required a PC HWID specific license file to run. Just old versions.

so can I install an older version for my 2015 F36 420d?

Car Production Date is irrelevant. What matters is what version of ISTA was last used to Program the car.

I try to flashing wit e-sys, only cddeploy due to and error message " cdDeploy FinishedWithError cafd_00000ded-003_014_012"; but gave a message "Missing SWEs in PSdzDara directory (C201). My PSdzData version is 4.37.2, the vehicle is 2015 BMW Xdrive 328i F30. Can you give me a little help? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your time, must appreciated! regards.
