I believe you now need to use ISTA to perform the “teach in” procedure. When I swapped my TMS modules left to right, neither of my lights worked until I did that procedure.

Hello, did you solve problem?

 

Still working on it. I had an independent shop (strictly vehicle programming) look at it and he couldnt communicate with the drivers side TMS which was an aftermarket unit. Ive since purchased a new BMW module and swapped it in. Going to download ISTA this weekend and keep working on it. Fingers crossed

 

Did you get it to work?

 

Ended up bringing it to the dealer and they programmed the headlights and there are no more error warnings. Passenger side works correctly, drivers side Halos and amber marker are not working. Tried swapping the led drivers with no change. The wiring integrity may have been compromised from the water. Aggravating....

 

What did they charge to do this programming?

I am getting the 800FC2 error "Initilisation fault in headlight driver module, right". I bough the car with an aftermarket TMS module in the passenger side light and I bought another aftermarket TMS and tried it. Both give the same error.

I think I need to use ISTA to initialize it but I don't have a working copy... yet.

 

Did you get this fixed yet I think I am having the same issue.

 

did anyone get there head lights fix

 

Many. You need to either inject or flash and run teach-in procedure.

 

Does anyone know what version of INSTA is need for F10 headlight coding? I have a 14 535i and just changed the passenger side LED ballast with a used one from a seller that says it has been tested.

 

If you a not replacing headlight module, no coding is needed. But, if you are, then E-sys can code. ISTA only needed for initialization. Any recent version will work.

 

I have a 2014 535 xdrive LCI with driver side halos flickering when the stop/start feature engages. I'm guessing the driver's side TMS module is starting to fail, and curious if anyone knows if purchasing an OEM TMS module requires coding or if it's plug and play? I don't have coding capability and trying to avoid a dealer visit who might try to change out the entire assembly. Online TMS replacement videos look straight forward, but I'd rather not go through the installation hassle to realize once installed I need to code and end up creating a bigger issue for myself with a dealer trip to explain what I tried to do. It has adaptive headlights/ xenon (non-LED).

After looking up VIN on realoem.com, I'm considering getting: Genuine BMW 63-11-7-440-877 | Control Module | FREE Shipping on Most Orders $499+ OEMG! | getBMWparts

I'm also uncomfortable purchasing off of Alibaba / using Chinese knock-offs as I don't have time to return/replace etc. If folks have a reputable recommendation for the part, I'm all ears.

any insights are appreciated

@Almaretto I see you commented above - do you believe my situation is 'no coding required?'

 

i bought two aftermarket tms modules as well. both didnt work out the box. and ista tells me that the module isnt genuine, this is using an old e90 KDAN cable to connect to my f10 550xi 2011 , i even bought a yellow cord which is confusing to figure out with the ethernet to usbC adatper.

headache at this point, no shop wants to work or try to code because they want a new headlight or wantto seal the current one for half the price of a new headlight.... im just buying time but i want my adaptive functioning back.

my old module worked with the AHL the only thing was the issue is the DRL ring and when i swapped out to after market Adaptive stoped functioning.

It appears that the info on Youtube about just replacing the TMS is incorrect. Hopefully someone with more knowledge and experience can post a DIY and resolve this issue.

Meanwhile I will keep trying to fix it as well.

GL!

 

Can somebody help me to code my new TMS module on my f10 2013? Adaptive headlight works, but angel eyes desn't works. I have E sys, but when I open some CAFD in names of folders stays only one dot, and I m not sure what I should to open.
Sorry on my English, I hope you will understend me 😆 Thanks in advance.

Can someone help me how to program my headlight, I replaced the module on ISTA, but need to program the module, thank you

 

Program whole car with ISTA+ or Flash module with E-Sys and PSdZData Full.

 

Could you also please PM me?

 

did anyone here manage to solve the dreaded problem with there halos? I had the same problem as every other BMW owner. Replaced the whole headlight with a new one along with new module and Halo bulbs. Then used Protool (excellent software) to code the accent light and adaptive back onto the module which worked fine. but wont teach in the halos on my F10 lci. I am doing my nuts in trying to figure out possible solutions. The worst part is when I plug in the ISTA and run the teach in process it works perfect every function works as it should but when I unplug the OBD2 or turn ignition off then back on the module resets, an am back to square on. What am I doing wrong or any advice would be helpful

 

Just wondering if I could get the software or tell me who you got it from?

Hi guys , just replace my original headlight with after markret from Alibaba everything is fine and all works the only thing is i have headlight vertical aim control fault , once i turn on the car i can see the lights moving and adjusting up and down but the manual volume next to the light control volume knob and i have this headlight aim control fault , jsut trying to totally remove or diactivate this madule but i cant find the exact madule name in Esys or ISTA. any idea what to look , unit name or code ????

 

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

 

Hi Shawn, I replaced both headlight with the modules it came with. It is used one. now I see only low beams work. Nothing else. Could you guide me to recode and then to code to make it work. Car 2015 bmw 435i f32. Please help

 

I have no guide for this. If you replaced any ECU's, you need to inject CAFD and VO Code it, and then initialize the lights in ISTA.

 

Hi Shawn. I have the símilar problem: replaced TMS modules amd now vertical aim is all over the place. Passenger side DRL are not workimg.

When you say "inject CAFD" : which software are you referring to? E-Sys?

I own Bimmer Utility but think i need a newer E-Sys like 3.30 with the psdzdata full. All E-Sys I have found are full of viruses.

Can you tell me how to get a working E-Sys?

 

Yes, E-Sys. PM sent.

 

first ting to do is to diagnose car

 

Could you also help me out with the same issue?

@shawnsheridan Im going through what all these guys going thru. Could I get a link to ista+ as well?

PM sent.

 

@shawnsheridan , you seem like a nice person helping a lot of newbs like myself out. Can you assist me in obtaining a virus free e-sys ( I have INSTA up and running) to help with exactly what everyone in this thread is going through?
Many thanks to you.
Cheers!

Hi @shawnsheridan would you be able to help with coding a headlight TMS module to my car? I have ISTA and standard tools. Thank you!

 

Help how? I cannot connect remotely if that is what you are asking.

 

Did you solve this issue. I have the same problem.

 

I ended up getting it coded by a mechanic I found local to me, it's been flawless ever since. He is based in Redhill so if you're nearby I can PM you his details.

 

michael.t.clark.work check your i level and make sure put the correct version in there

 

Hi all, I have a similar issue. Replaced the modules in both headlights but only the brows seem to work. Angel halos still don't turn on

Any advice is much appreciated!

 

need code to car, PM sent
