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."

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 guys, help me please, I made full retrofit include Drive assistant, and got a vibration without vibration generator in steering wheel,later was some bug during update,and after team made the coding again, no vibration (.It was made it steering rack,if I tried to cross the line,I got vibration, now nothing (

Hello guys,

I have recently retrofited my F45. I added ACC and LDW, these options works fines. I also added TJA 5AR but it doesn't work.
At first my F45 had 5AV and 544 on SALAPA. I removed them and i Added 5AT, 5DF, and 5AR and vo coded KOMBI, ENTRYNAV, SAS, DSC, BDC BODY

My steering wheel was changed by steering wheel M with detection touch and I also changed my SZL by SZL with the connection for Heated steering even if my steering wheel is not heated.

if i push the button of TJA, the car say "Traffic Jam not available". Also I changed parameter on SAS to make it work TJA for all road but nothing.

On ISTA i have 1 errors :
- 030351 : SZL Wrong version but i think its nothing because the vibrator is working fine (or maybe I'm wrong ?)

Do you have any ideas to change ?

Thaanks for all and thanks for all tips in this thread because it helped me a lot

Dobrý deň
Vedeli by ste pomôcť s kódovaním 5AS. Stále sa mi nedarí nakódovať detekciu chodcov a upozornenie na vybočenie z jazdného pruhu. Vedeli by ste mi poradiť ktorú ECU je potrebné nakódovať a čo aktivovať. Kódoval som KOMBI KAFAS a HU_ENTRY. Mám FSC. Aktivuje sa SLI aj varovanie auta. FSC sú tiež akceptované. BMW 2 218d F45.
dakujem
Try to code BDC_BODY too. Use the VO coding of the 5AS function. With this coding, all control units are coded correctly.
Send me a PM where you are from, or I can advise you via PM in Slovak.

Hi, thanks for sharing the url for the supplier for the SLI FSC code. When I search in RealOEM for the part number you shared, my 2014 F45 is not listed yet I see a previous post where LINUXNUT used the same part number for his 2018 F46. Any idea if this part number is the correct one for my vehicle?

Hi, is it possible VO-code 2VG Performance Control option on a non-M f48? Judging by the parameters it is a software control option which applies brakes to one of to the inner rear wheel during sharp turns to enhance handling. This option is listed in the SALAPA of M-version F48 X1. So looks like ICM is the one to be VO-coded.

Привет, спасибо, что поделились URL-адресом поставщика кода SLI FSC. Когда я ищу в RealOEM номер детали, которым вы поделились, мой F45 2014 года еще не указан. Я вижу предыдущую запись, в которой LINUXNUT использовал тот же номер детали для своего F46 2018 года. Есть идеи, подойдет ли этот номер для моего автомобиля?

Я могу бесплатно поделиться FSC с F45 2017 года. Они будут из моей машины. Вы сможете установить их в свой блок kafas2. И у вас все будет работать. Только заблокировать kafas2 нельзя кодировать через FA.

Hello everyone,

Let me start by thanking everyone who contributed this thread. My question is about LDW and potential Pedestrian Warning system.

I have factory activated FCW, with KAFAS2 on my f46 2020. Since I already have FSC for FCW, should i VO code 5AD to activate LDW or should i FDL code the relevant ECUs without VO coding as it seems LDW does not require FSC. Does 5AD relate to anything else that might throw an error? (I am not sure if I have vibration tool for steering wheel but a warning sign and sound should suffice for me).

The same question goes to VO code 5AS in case I buy FSC for pedestrian warning. If you have FSC for FCW, SLI, and Pedestrian, can you VO code 5AS without any error showing up? Does it mess with anything else?

Thank you for your insights.

Hi
Can only answer to f48 5as which is close to the f46 platform. The 5as option will code in high beam assist , ldw, fcw, pcw , sli ( given u have fsc codes& certficates, instal original as ista will remove any fsc on startup ).
the high beam assist needs column switch and coil connection which powers up the steering vibration module ( there is no audio warning just vibration) . Hence an error of wrong variant switch will result on coding 5as
For the ldw as stated above one can code out the lack of vibration module. If u want to install the module u have to choose the correct part no and brand new costs around 300-400 usd. You have to match the exact module ( depends on heated steering, which cruise control u have etc…) . You also need to modify the steering wires to loopout a linbus connection for the module, or buy a new harness (70usd)
For the ldw you will also need the kombi instead of bkombi(basic) to display the lane departure enable lines, they go from orange to green and are gated by around 40miles an hour ( can be coded to lower speed). Again an error might be thrown up in the bkombi (basic kombi) if installed as it might not display the ldw status lines. I am not sure this applies to the f46. Run a cluster display test to see if you have these two lines showing / \ on your display.

As u can see it can quickly become an expensive mod . That is what i can contribute to your question. I have no knowledge of the 5ad option on your model, i suspect it will not work as it is target to older models. In my case i went full installation and i found the ldw quite a useful safety addition particularly on motorways.
Good luck

Hi re welcome
Yes you can disable ldw by the idrive. You ve to do it everytime and can be annoying. Pls note that ldw is only vibration there is no sound or alarm on dashboard. The central lines you re are seeing is for the dynamic criuse control. The /\ are very small usually in the bottom left of the display. Best option is to fdl out the vibration module after 5as vo coding. Without the vibrator module the ldw will not function at all. All you have is the status of ldw ( avtive or not) depending on the speed. So there is no visual or audio warning for lane departure. So ldw will not work at all.
Your cluster should be ok if it komb2 .you need 3 fsc codes, one for each pedestrial , sli, and collison wanring ( the collision should be standard for kafas2. For sli uou will need at least entry nav with navigation besides the sli fsc. The speed limits for your country need to be active or else you have to code kafas to ise only camera data. I would vo code 5as and fdl code out hba ( unless present) and bibrator module. You have to remove the 5av option aswell as 5as replaces it .
 
#729 ·
Oh I did not know that there was no sound warning. Then it does not make so much sense.

I bought FSC for SLI and try to FDL code it as described in one of the threads (I appreciate any free launcher as I tried VO code 8TH using Esys that did not work). It is a part of 5AS now I guess.

so my question is whether you can VO disable such systems that are not supported. For instance I heard that SLI can be disabled by 8TD. So any similar way is possible to VO code 5AS and disable systems that are not supported?

thanks

Hi thanks.

5AV is already factory active but I injected SLI recently. FSC accepted but nothing changes. Requires FDL coding on KAFAS2,KOMBI, and HU I guess. I have navigation plus and ENTRYNAV2. Now you said it, actually, I did not try to recode (without any change in FA) on ECUs. I dont know if it makes any difference since 5AV was already there. But I could not do FDL so far since I don't have a launcher pro.

Yes with fsc installed and accepted , recode(vo code) kafas2 .
a red rimmed white circle should appear on your display with — in the middle. If you see this than sli is active. If not make sure you do not have the 8td option in your vechicle order. If yes remove it and vo code kafas, komb2 , navi , hud .
if the speed limit does not update you need to fdl code kafas2 to use sli with camera only. Search for sli and from fusion switch to camera.
