Shoot me if I'm broaching a subject already discussed but I am curious how coding relates to the KCAN as I recently discovered a thread on E90 from 2008 where some guys were learning the address locations of various electronics and how to operate them via altering the instructions...ie learning the hex address for the window operation, operation of interior lighting, etc.

Is the coding of our settings sort of akin to using Visual Basic or other PC programming languages? How does coding interact with KCAN?

Thanks for replies!

 

Coding is similar to editing the Windows Registry.

KCan is just one of many automotive communication busses used by these cars. For the purpose of coding, the bus is irrelevant. You can access all ECU's on all busses, and without knowing the diagnostic address.

 

Hi Shawn, I have a 2013 335Xi. Can you PM me the link for the for E-Sys and psdzdata.

Thanks in Advance.

Just did the Ediabas bits.
On FS_LOESCHEN_FUNKTIONAL all good and said "JOB_STATUS = OKAY" Error still there.

On the other file I got an error:

apiJob("ACSM4","steuern_verriegelung_schreiben","","")

Satz : 0
OBJECT = acsm4
SAETZE = 1
JOBNAME = steuern_verriegelung_schreiben
VARIANTE = ACSM4
JOBSTATUS =
UBATTCURRENT = -1
UBATTHISTORY = -1
IGNITIONCURRENT = -1
IGNITIONHISTORY = -1
Satz : 1
JOB_STATUS = ERROR_ECU_REQUEST_OUT_OF_RANGE

Tried a few times and made sure status was connected.


Should have never started messing with this car...

Try using ACSM3.prg instead.

 

steuern_verriegelung_schreiben does not exist under ACSM3....

 

It must have something similar.

 

I reprogrammed my wife's x5 F15 before. I just purchased F25 X3 for my father. I was wondering if the programming for F25 is the same as for F15? Are the programmable options are the same as in the spreadsheet that was shared in this thread?

 

It uses the same F25 connection target, but it does not have BDC super module like F15 does, rather it will have separate FRM, SZL, IHKA, TCB, CAS and JBBF modules.

 

hi
i have an x5 2015 (xdrive35i) and i just realized i the issue about the enhanced BT
i read through the steps and still cant get it all...
are there any easier steps for just the BT?
Thanks

 

You mean easier than this?

Thank you! Lightning fast! Never get that at calguns (My other passion)

 

2015 528ix

Just ordered the cable and hoping to get all the software so that everything is setup and ready to go when it arrives. Can you please PM me with the software I need to download for 2015 528ix? (I believe that's F10, is that correct?)

Thanks!

That was like 5 seconds response time! Thanks!!!

 

I'd like to backup the car's files before making any changes. What is the best way of doing this? I read in another thread that I should "read VCM" although the supplied manual advises agains this. Any suggestions on backup before messing around?

 

What is your purpose for backing them up?

 

You can simply right-click on any ECU and select CODE to restore it to its original coding, so there is no need for a backup.

 

Even if I've already made changes to it? Does this mean that every time I want to code, I have to start from scratch since it restores original values? Sorry for the newb questions and thanks so much for your help.

 

If you VO Code, which is to right-click on an ECU and select CODE, it resets it, overriding all your FDL Codings. This affects all the individual parameters changed from / dealer coding,

You do not have to start from scratch with FDL Coding, which is to right-click on an ECU's CAFD and select Code FDL, This affects only the individual parameters changed since last coding,

 

Can I please get a link to the latest software for coding my F80?

 

PM sent.

 

Thank you very much! Which cheat sheet should I use for the F80?

 

F30 Cheat Sheet.

 

hi i just got x5m 2010
i wanna program it, upgrade the performance, where and how to install these codes? and how to reinstall the previous codes? so i dont lose the company warranty?

 

This thread is about "Coding made easy: Step by step instructions for Fxx Series" Your x5m 2010 is Exx series, and cannot use same Fxx tools.

 

Can you give me a latest version of the E - SYS, and PZD? I can't read F15 module

Shawn and Omar, thank you for your help with coding. We all owe you big time for all the time you spent helping BMW community.

I coded F15 X5 before and now was coding F25 X3. Was anyone able to code the following on the X3? In X5 there is BDC_BODY, in X3 there is multiple CAFDs instead like CAS, FRM and etc. I tried searching these items in most of the available CAFDs but no results.

Auto Start/Stop set to ***8216;off***8217; at every startup BDC_BODY 3023 TCM_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF nicht_aktiv aktiv
Auto Start/Stop remembers if set to ***8216;On***8217; or ***8216;Off***8217; from previous shutdown BDC_BODY 3023 TCM_MSA_MEMORY nicht_aktiv aktiv
Turn Off Radio and GPS when engine off and driver door is open BDC_BODY 3020 TCM_LOGIC_R_OFF_DOOR nicht_aktiv aktiv (in X5 when I press the start/stop button once, the MMI turns off; in the X3, you have to press it twice)
Dimming Side View Mirrors BDC_BODY 3120 CODDT_00_SCAL_DIM_ECR_LIN Current (driver) werte=20 werte=39
BDC_BODY 3120 CODDT_01_SCAL_DIM_ECR_LIN (passenger) werte=20 werte=39
Side Mirror closing time delay BDC_BODY 3056 KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN werte=0f (~2s) werte=00 (>1s)

Also, I coded the following on the F15 X5 and when I tried emergency stopping yesterday it threw the lights malfunction error on the instrument cluster but then went away after normal braking:
Emergency Stop Signal/Flashing Brakes [3] BDC_BODY 3068 ESS_AKTIVIERBARER_AUSGANG flachenvergroesserun bremslicht or bremslicht blinkend

:thumbup:

 

Dumb question. What is VO coding? How exactly do I do it? I can do regular CAFD coding now, but I want to activate my Bluetooth streaming and apparently it requires changing VO codes right?

 

See my post here, and all should be clear:

If I'm reading it correctly I just find the letter "6NS" from the bottom left Window, delete it, then type in "6NH"?

 

Yes, but you have it reversed. 6NS replaces 6NH.

 

Oh lol. Thanks! I'm gonna give it a shot hopefully tonight and see how it goes

 

Hi,

I'm new to coding and is following the step by step guide, but it doesn't fit with E-sys version 3.26.1.

I'm afraid to make mistakes and I hope someone can help.

My issues:

1) In SVT actual box the is no button called "Read VCM". There is one called "Read SVT (.." and one called "Read (ECU)". Which one should I use? I read somewhere that it didn't mather, but is that really true?

2) I cannot choose "Edit FDL" when right clicking CAFD (with the green mark). I can right click and choose "Read Coding data" and then a sub-item is shown. On the sub-item I can choose "Edit FDL" and proceed. Is that ok?

3) After changing the values from cheat sheet, saving and clicking "Activate FA" the sub-item of the CAFD disappears and when high-lighting the CAFD the "Code FDL" is not disabled. I can right-click and choose "Read Coding Data" making the sub-item appear again and when high-lightig the subitem the "Code FDL" is enabled, but if I click "Edit FDL" the data is different than the one I just edited. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
