What's the problem? Will you explain more. This is very important step and you can't afford to skip.

WHen I right click on the green CAFD (individually or all by hold ctrl key), Read Coding Data is not active in the box, only DIF..

Try to pick only one cafd which has a little green icon on left, right click on it and see what options you get. If you have installed the psdz data correctly, you should see Read Coding data or the button on the right will be enabled. Focus on the issue, dont skip and proceed further unless this issue is resolved.

Which car are you coding and what did you pick up targetSelector as? Investigate properly, no need to hurry up. You will definitely succeed, have patience.

These step by step instructions are for beginners who want to quickly learn coding their Fxx series BMW cars.

Sorry these instructions and suggested tools/ data is not suitable for your 1992 e series.

You need to download E-Sys - 3.18.4 and PSDZdata V46.3 files. Please read the instructions carefully, all needed is given there.

You can use the following link to download the software:

The link gives an error message: "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Any assistance would be appreciated.

It seems such direct links to SW downloads have been removed from various sites.

In case its desired to uninstall E-Sys with data files, run attached "Unistall_ESYS with data.bat" file after removing the extension pdf.

Success!! A Big "Thank You" to April1

A Big "Thank You" to April1 for all the work he did and I benefited! :)

Exactly one week ago today, I PM April1 asking about cable and software for coding. On Monday, he shipped the package via USPS Priority Mail and I got it on Wednesday.

The package was professionally done, with labels on the flash drive and cable. Very nice!!

I followed this thread and others about coding, and finally decided that it was time, but links to the software was no where to be found. Fortunately April1 was the one-stop-shop for all my coding needs.

Last Sunday after April1 confirmed he had everything I need, I started preparing my Windows XP laptop computer and read up on the instructions.

Wednesday night I copied Apirl1's flash drive onto my hard drive, installed the software, studied the instructions, made some notes to get ready for Thursday night's connection to my 2013 X3.

Thursday night came, I was careful to disable anti-virus software and Windows firewall, and turned off my laptop's WiFi and Bluetooth. I also made sure I turned of all lights (automatic headlights, daylight running lights, and dome lights) in the car to conserve power. I followed the instructions to connect to my car. I was able to read the CAF file from my car and did a backup.

I had originally planned on doing just that on Thursday night. However, the process was so easy that I went on to code.

I successfully:
  1. disabled iDrive legal disclaimer during iDrive startup
  2. disbaled camera legal disclaimer
  3. added pressure and temperature readings to the TPMS screen
  4. enabled DVD in motion
I tried but wasn't able to enable turn signal on HUD.

April1's cable and software bundle, detailed instructions and screen shots in the "E-Sys - Getting Started Coding" PDF files paved the way to my quick success.

I greatly appreciate the contribution of all who went before me and so generously shared their knowledge! :thumbup:
