NOTE2: Click here for Getting Started Guides, Tips, & Cheat Sheets

1. Software Overview and Requirements:

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).

I see this was posted many years ago - is it still relevant? I have just acquired a 2020 7 Series G12 but I want to add a heated steering wheel. I have purchased the wheel with heating element, an enet cable and am trying to work out what software I should be using to do this. Is it still Esys or is it ISTA? (I have concluded bimmercode will not do this change for me)

I have downloaded from the links in the first post and also - are these the latest or should I be looking at using something else before I delve into reading the pdf's on using these tools.

Many thanks for pointers.

I'd love to give the E-sys a try. I've had my HU updated and then a shop coded my car with some routine work done and my Idrive is all messed up. F22. It used to have the id6 tile look, now it's a menu that scrolls out of view on the screen. TIA
