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).

Thanks I get it now.. So that means I will need the full PSDZDATA files. Also will i be able to flash the rdc module with engine running, I know i can code with engine running except for DME but not sure about engine running for flashing or for CAFD injecting which I know doesnt apply to RDC module but for future reference. Thanks again for your help.

Engine cannot be running. Flash TAL puts car in Transport Mode, which kills motor if running, stalls car, and Flash fails.

I am using: Launcher Pro 3.1.0 with Esys 3.32 and PSdZData V4.10.30 Lite with a G30 CAFD files I downloaded from the car and saved in the default CAF directory.

I can edit most files OK but some important files like the HKFM2 and others do not show properly. Can someone help?

I try to code my car which was reprogrammed last week,

Could someone please advise me? I am using:
  • Windows on VMware, Windows, Region and Language setting English (United Kingdom)
  • E-Sys 3.27.1 (E-Sys is working perfectly)
  • Launcher Premium 2.8.0_143

When running Launcher Premium I still receive the activation code message, it used to work in the past.

This is what I get in VMware Fusion. I have a Mac and don't have a Windows laptop. E-mailed the guy 2 weeks ago, no answer. So I am stuck and can't code from my MacBook? Installing Windows on it is not an option.

Correct, you can't code from Mac without the Activation Code.

What has happend to version numbers on psdzdata lite? Last time I downloaded it, it was v.62.5, but now it's v4.10.30. How is this newer version? Can somebody please explain to me? because I am confused now.

I had my F10 at service and the dealer has updated the car's software, so I guess I need the latest psdzdata version.

I have here the last version released before that which was v. 63.5.

In this kind of version I wanted to know.

My question is the same as the friend above
You have latest version (well technically now v.4.10.42 is as it was just released). Older versions were pulled from ISTA/P (e.g. 63.x) whereas new versions are pulled from ISTA+ as ISTA/P no longer supports F/I/G Series.

Hi,

I have just had my cars ecu's re-flashed by BMW. So I went to re-apply my coding options.
However, when I code the options, they show success, but they don't seem to actually apply and when I read out the FA again, the options are back to default.
Any idea why?

Using:
Windows 7
E-Sys 3.28.1
Launcher v2.7.1_Build_135
PSDZDATA LITE FROM DATA_SWI 4.10.41 04-2018

I've been looking everywhere for the Esys Launcher.. i tokens site says hes overwhelmed and released version 2.8 which supposed to insert a token automatically.. and supposedly the link on 1st page has been updated.
i downloaded it and no go.. wont open.. i double click it then nothing happens. Not much in the forums out there troubleshooting wise.
Any one can help ? i have tried other versions, they open just fine but those require tokens and token popup wont let me through.
Thanks!

None. It is for F / I / G Series Coding and Programming only.

E-Series uses NCS Expert for coding, and a DCAN Cable (USB) instead of an ENET (LAN) Cable.
