Hi. Can anyone advise on the BMW F45?
When the HOD unit is installed in the steering wheel, can there also be a vibration motor?
The F45 has a vibration motor with Driving Assistant 5AS. HOD is used with the 5AR - Traffic jam assistant function, that is part of 5AT - Driving Assistant Plus. However, 5AS is also part of 5AT.
I bought the steering wheel of a 5AT car, but it doesn't have a vibration motor. Now, when comparing the parts catalog, 5AS is excluded with 5AR. Does the F45 with 5AT warn of lane departure other than by vibrating the steering wheel?
I planned to activate 5AS first and later after adding other hardware activate 5AT.
 
Question: I am using Bimmercode for my F45 and it seems (in expert mode) comparable with FDL coding by E-sys. But a lot more user friendly! I know in Bimmercode you cannot do VO coding, but are the FDL coding options indeed the same?
Yes. Fdl coding in esys or bimmercode is the same. In bimmercode is more easy.

hello to all, I need help, I would like to deactivate the low beam during the welcome light, any idea? and I activated the corner light on my F54 which works very well but I would like a hard and not a soft ignition. thank you so much
 
@maaii is correct. Double check your flexray terminations. But there’s one more key thing you need to do.

Hello. I retrofitted the f45 with a SAS unit. Connected the wires.
Using tool32, I activated the flex ray port. Immediately showed errors on security systems.
Through the e-sis, I encoded the SAS block.
When I connect ista and try to initialize the flex ray bus, the port closes.
I was told that I must first encode all the blocks and then use tooll 32, but while the port is closed, I do not see the SAS block and cannot encode it. Please share your experience, what am I doing wrong?
 
Hi Folks!
Anybody knows resistor value for the TJA button in the F45 steering wheel or maybe have photo of PCB? Instead of buying new buttons for the steering wheel I want to reuse LIM button by changing the resistor.

You use bimmercode or esys?

With bimmercode you have a option in fem module. Normal mode.

Hi, I installed a F30 steering wheel in my F45 (fits perfectly) with vibro-motor and heating, and the associated ECU unit. Plus heating button. I added 248 to Salapa, uploaded the new FA to the car and coded BDC_body, HU_entrynav, Kombi and IHKA3. Vibro for LDW works fine, but heating does not, also no LED on the switch or message on the dash. Perhaps I forgot to code another ECU for steering wheel heating?

Did you check the wiring? Sometimes its not prewired and you have to pull new power wires from the bdc
 
Hi. I have SAS as that is required plus correct steering wheel switches and SZL for HBA (parts of 5AT) Once fitted and wires up all it needed was VO coding of 5AT/5DF (removing 5AS and 544 if you have it). ACC works but you do get a error message when first starting ignition. This can be closed and goes away by itself and doesn't affect function. I think error could be due to either DSC or lack of Linbus for 5AR that I also have coded. I will test this later. See how you get on.
Hi!
Did you figure out that causes such an error on start?
I retrofitted TJA on F45 '16 (SAS + DSC BASIS) ACC works perfectly but I always get an error you mentioned.
 
Update of my successful VO-coding in my F45-2016:
1) 5AS: Driving Assistant = 5AC + 5AD + 8TH. This required another SZL with High Beam Assist button (5AC), a FSC code to activate Speed Limit Info (8TH), and a F30 steering wheel with vibrator for Lane Departure Warning (5AD).
2) 248: Heated Steering Wheel (LHZ). This required the F30 steering wheel to have heating, and a button. The button should be 61319201736, as the pre-14 button 61319267365 is different inside and doesn't work.
For both LDW and LHZ to work, the F30 steering wheel must have controller 61319218379 inside.
That's it for now, thanks forum for your support.

PS my original F45 steering wheel (with cruise buttons) incl airbag and stalk unit are for sale...
 
Hi everyone, i bought f46 few months ago and I want to start with some coding. I saw some videos and for now i am mostly interested in SLI activation. The vehicle itself has KAMAS and collision warning active so i need help to activate SLI
 
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.

i can assist you with cerificate if want
 
DIY Guide - Retrofitting cruise control on F45/F46

Finally solved my problem and completed cruise control coding. Knowing that information on F45 and F46 is limited on the web I have prepared a DIY Guide for those who want to install the dynamic cruise control on their F45/F46.
