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).

Can I code an April 2018 F30 320d ?

Hi All.

I am a completely new member, and this is my first post.

Currently(but only for 3 more days) I drive an 320d E90 2008, which I have coded a lot of stuff on. That was easy and worked fine.

In 3 days I will be taking delivery of my brand new from factory, April build 320d F30, and I have been looking into how to code that.

A lot of threads have been read, but I am a bit confused regarding E-sys and Launcher (Pro), and also, is there PSD data available for such a new car ?

To make sure that I use the correct E-sys and Launcher, what is the combination to use ? Tokenmaster has not answered my email regarding getting hands on launcher pro, so I dont know if there actually is a combination of Laucher and E-sys that I can use, that also has the correct mappings and so on ?

Could anyone please enlighten me regarding coding such a new car, and if someone has done it with which combination of tools and data ?

Thank you for a great forum :)

For an F30, Launcher Premium will work fine.

PSdzdata is not split by chassis. You download entire set.

As described in OP, use E-sys 3.27.1 and either Premium 2.8 or Pro 3.1.
 
#445 ·
So I will have no problems regarding the mapping issue ? Read somewhere that BMW has removed some help from PSD Data, and these are mapped via the Launcher ? Is this working 100% in the Premium version with E-sys 3.27.1 ?

And.. is the latest PSD data available for a model build April 2018 ? As I understand, there has been changes made to the cars from March 2018 an on.
For G-series, you want Pro Launcher. For an F-series, Premium is fine.

I keep links updated with latest Psdzdata.

Really new I-Step

Hi Almaretto

I have just updated my PZData from your mega link (thanks), however my car has a newer version than that in the file. I cannot FDL BCD_BODY, but now all the others work.

My car has F056-18-03-532 and I believe the latest in the file is F056-18-03-524

I am just wondering what sort of time window there for the mega file to be updated?

THanks

Matt

Are you getting a Missing CAFD error, and if so, which CAFD?

You needed to also update the \psdzdata\swe\fafp folder.

You really should not be frankensteining PSdZdata together from different versions. Get a bigger VM, and load latest complete PSdZData Lite.
Hi Shwan,

I followed your instruction and was able to Code FDL successfully this time.

However, based on the cheat sheet, I changed below 5 entries in order to remove the speedlock for the video, but it does not seem to work, I still got the warning (say video only can be viewed when parked) and no video is displayed when the car is moving. Any idea?

DVD-in-Motion activated:
3000 SPEEDLOCK_X_KMH_MAX werte = FF
3000 SPEEDLOCK_X_KMH_MIN werte = FF
3000 VIDEO_HANDBRAKE set to: nicht_aktiv
3000 VIDEO_FRONT_LOCKED set to: nicht_aktiv
3000 VIDEO_SPEEDLOCK_CONDITION set to: none

thanks again!

What Head Unit do you have? NBT? NBT2?

Hi All

I have been doing all the usual coding on my new F30 2018, and so far all is great :)

Had the issue of using RDC_DRUCK_TEMP before showing tire temperature, but now that works.

Then I found the SETTINGS_AUTOMATIC_EXT_MIRROR_FOLDING value, and set that to AKTIV. The settings is available in my iDrive vehicle setting, but it cannot be selected, and the issue is, that after trying to select it, the top 2 other settings (Lock after taking off, and one I forgot), can not be changed for some time. After a while all is good again, unless trying to select the new mirror setting.


Has anyone gotten their mirrors to fold in when locking, and not only bu the comfort close via the key. I would always like the mirrors in when car is closed, and if I could save the button 2 sek holding, that would be great :)

Could it actually be that the comfort setting is clashing with the new setting ?

Any ideas, maybe another unit also needs coding for this to work, or it simply is not possible in an F30 ?

I'm having a problem with the latest ESys launcher premium.

I have just installed all the programs for the first time but ESys launcher will not run, the blue circle appears then it just goes back to highlight the launcher shortcut.

I have tried it on two laptops with different versions of Windows with the same issue.

Anyone know what could cause this?

...I would like to buy Pro but I see a lot of people are waiting around for replies. Can anyone comment on the below ebay link. This doesn't seem legit but the reviews speak for themselves, it appears no one has been ripped off. Did this guy crack the activation codes or something ?

(Link removed)
It is legit in that it is a working cracked version, but it is an outdated 2.x version, and not latest 3.x version with updated CAFD mapping database.
 
#479 ·
Hmm, cracked as in they cracked the .exe and it no longer has the same hash value as the authors. or cracked in the sense they were able to create some type of keygen and give out keys that work with the original authors .exe


The updated database, does any version of the launcher support the 2018 X3 M40i properly. I would suspect that if the author is not even replying to purchases he would not be updating database mapping either. I dont want to throw good money after bad, I just need to make a few tweaks to my moms X3, my 14 F10 & 15 F06 I can code just fine for time being with old versions of premium. I'm comfortable with ESYS and love it, just want to be very careful with this brand new chasis and pay whom ever I need to pay to have working supported software that is not going to die on me.

I never hashed it as to me, it is a distinction without difference, although I expect .exe is cracked to except modified .EST Token.

As an alternative to E-Sys launcher, you can use EsysX:

I use Static Authentication, and it seems to be just initial time. I have no idea how Dynamic Authentication behaves though.

Hi shawnsheridan,

Thanks for the active support for us newbies.
I just would like to ask a few questions:

1. I managed to code my 2018 F36 with the pre-configured VM from BMWCoding.online, with ESYS 3.28.1, ESYS Launcher premium & PSdZDATA v.63.3 Lite
I was following some Youtube tutorial, and selected "Read parameter from VCM" for vehicle-specific parameter (optional)". I also did not uncheck "Update VCM after TAL execution" and "Update MSM after TAL execution" in E-sys options (although I don't seem to see any of them actually got executed in the FDL coding log).
Now that I read the instruction in the first post, I just wonder whether the way I coded my car would do any harm. What would the above three options do exactly? Do I need to VO code my car back to factory settings following the correct procedure?

2. If I updated iDrive software version, does it resets my coding?

3. When I tried to read coded data for ECU DKOMBI, it gave me an error saying something like file does not exist. This means I need to update psdzdata, correct?

4. When I tried to edit FDL for ECU HKFM2, I didn't see any function names listed in the cheatsheet, but some numbers separated by dots or dashes (don't remember exactly). How do I fix this?

5. My car has PDC sensor front and rear, and only rear view camera. Currently, PDC sensor view will be automatically turned off when in Drive and the speed is above around 18kph. Is it possible to increase that speed to say 40kph? I tried increasing "V_SCHWELLE_2" but it did not work.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks,

1. No harm.
2. If by Update you mean Flash / Encode ECU, then yes.
3. If you have [CO12] Missing CAFD Error, then you need different PSdZData.
4. Trimmed PSdZData means either E-Sys has Incorrect Target Connection, or you do not use E-Sys Launcher to open E-Sys, or you use E-Sys Launcher PREMIUM but select wrong car Series or this particular ECU CAFD is not mapped in E-Sys Launcher's CAFD Mapping Database, or you have insufficient Java Memory in order for E-Sys Launcher to map it.
5. I have no idea. I never looked into changing it.
