Hello,
i propose to open One master threads to regroup the information about the coding of theses car as they have the same architecture .

i already found a coding sheat for mini :

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eO-4KXfxkksCIBP_xKjMXcIwlgAyWVxFLcla5lzibnw/edit#gid=0

and i've already VO code the 6NS option to my car with this procedure !

1) Just Add 6NS to FA and VO Code HU_ENTRYNAV

2) You will not get Voice Control without an FSC Code, but you can still code EBT.

3) No. Just add 6NS to FA, Save FA, Load FA in Coding Module, Activate FA, and VO Code HU_ENTRYNAV.
owners of F45/F46/F48/F55/F56 any stuff we can share, we can do it here.

READ IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) NEVER click "Code Default Values" it can reset important stuff and car might not start and need to get towed to the dealer to fix the software
2) Make sure you click "Code FDL" and not "Code" (clicking code will reset the car to the factory setting erasing all the FDL coding for the selected ECU)
3) Always code with the car running or with a commercial grade charger connected to it, else voltage might drop during coding and you could get unexpected errors. (if you are codding the DME ECU you can't have the car running so you will need a charger)
4) Launcher note: E-Sys Launcher Car Series MUST be set to exactly match the car's chassis type you are coding (e.g. F01, F06, F07, F10, F12, F15, F25, F30, F82, F83, etc.). If after install it defaults to F999 and it cannot be changed, change PC Date ahead 4 days, then change E-Sys Launcher Car Series, then change PC Date back to current date. DO NOT create .EST Token and PIN with PC Date advanced 4 days as the Validity Start Date for the token will be 4 days in the future."

What's Needed for coding?

Whatever you do never ever ever press "Code Default Values" ... you have been warned :)

Coding 101 video

How to VO code
Connect => Read FA => Activate FA => Read SVT (VCM) => Right-Click on ECU you want to code i.e. HU_NBT (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

Corrupted CAFD
Just inject new CAFD into ECU, and VO Code it.

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Left-Click on desired ECU => Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level shown => Select OK => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

Read I-Level
To determine your I-Level, go to VCM Module => VCM Master Tab => click Read under I-Steps

Targets:
F001 psdzdata covers the F01/F02/F03/F04/F07 (5-Series GT is an F07 NOT an F10)
F010 psdzdata covers the F06/F10/F11/F12/F13/F18
F020 psdzdata covers the F20/F21/F22/F23/F30/F31/F32/F33/F34/F35/F36/F80/F82/F83 (There is no Z4 F-chassis yet)
F025 psdzdata covers the F15/F16/F25/F26/F48/F85/F86
F056 psdzdata covers the F45/F46/F48(BMW)F64/F55 F56 (Cooper Mini's)
I001 psdzdata covers the i3/i8

Hi.
To activate SLI, you need to buy the FSC code AppID 126 (7E). You can find people who offer it here on the forum, or use google.
Then you have to insert the FSC code into KAFAS using the E-sys software. The next step will be the FDL coding of the SLI function in the control units.

Another option is to also purchase the FSC code AppID 191 (BF) - Pedestrian Detection and use the VO coding of the 5AS function. In addition to SLI, you also get Pedestrian Detection, High Beam Assistant HBA (requires SZL replacement) and Lane departure warning (requires steering wheel with vibration motor).

All more detailed information can be found on the forum.

Hello
Would you be able to help with 5AS coding. I still can't code pedestrian detection and lane departure warning. Could you advise me which ECU needs to be coded and what to activate. I coded KOMBI KAFAS and HU_ENTRY. I have FSC. Both SLI and car warning are activated. FSC are also accepted. BMW 2 218d F45.
thank you

Hi there. I am new to the community. I got myself a 225xe f45 from 2019. I ve been trying the different tips to change the ambient led colors with BimmerCode without success. Still orange and white. I am under the impression the layers are not used but they are 2 rgb groups called classic and modern that seem to change to interact with the led. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to code a 2021 530e (NA) to reduce the acoustic pedestrian sound so that it does not sound like a loud haunted house soundtrack? I have Bimmercode but have not been able to figure out if it is even possible.

Hi everyone,

I just installed the M performance brakes on my F48, I'm trying to code them following the steps, but when I add the Ho-Wort it gives me errors all the time. I have tried with SPBR, SBRE and SPOB F56 chassis = F48) and they all tell me the same thing:

"No FP could be generated from FA"".[C002]
Not all elements of the FA were found in the FA2FP: HO-Word SPBR [72]"


Does anyone know how it can be solved?

Hi folks.

Recently purchased a 2015 BMW F45 220D Active Tourer M Sport . it already came with a good amount of options from factory but i've been looking to get more things activated etc....

One that really interests me is the SLI speed limit info . from what i've been reading I could possibly have this coded & activated via an FSC code rather than having to resort to an SLI emulator.

is there a way for someone to be able to check / advise if my car is capable & if so who could provide FSC code & remote code it for me?

My headunit is a HU_EntryNav & my instrument cluster is the 6WA Extended cluster (called Blackout or shadow edition?) . On my windscreen it appears I have the kafas camera as I can see the camera & underneath in white it says connected drive??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Phil

Hi,
I've got a F46 (assembly date June 2018) that came with Front Collision Warning so have the Kafas2 camera. Is it possible to code in option 5AS or at least SLI? I can see my dashboard has the lane markings on it, just not lit up. So does this mean that I could code in LDW as well?

For all those looking for the FSC code for SLI (Speed limit detection). The part number that you need to Google is 66502444948. I actually purchased my code from here (just make sure you select the one that is for F-series cars) BMW FSC Nachrüstung Speed Limit Info 66502444948. Only cost around €45.
I don't know why everyone seems to want to keep this secret and only offer it via PM.

I calculated it for you from my vehicle X1, which is same platform. Used 8TD. My car has all options otherwise.

For SLI ON use these values

SAS
LDM_ISA_vorhanden -> True (01)
FR_DISP_FRSG -> senden ein (01)

BDC
Uebernahme_geschwindighet_isa -> aktiv (01)

KAFAS2
NPI_on_off -> F056 (01)
SLI_on_off -> F056 (01)

KOMBI
SPEED_LIMIT -> aktiv (01)
LDM_ISA_ENABLE -> aktiv (01)
HUD_ISA_ENABLE -> aktiv (01)
RCOG_TRSG_TIMEOUT -> aktiv (01)
RCOG_TRSG_APPL -> aktiv (01)
DISP_FRSG_TIMEOUT -> aktiv (01)
DISP_FRSG_APPL -> aktiv (01)

HU_Entrynav2
Autolimiter -> aktiv (01)

I've just checked with the SVT-Toolbox from EsysUltra. The F48 and F46 have some overlap, but the F48 (X1) seems to have some extras that don't appear in the F46.
Attached images show the difference when adding option 8TH to a cat that has 5AS (driver assist, which includes SLI)
