I've done some of my first coding with the help of reading through the forum. I was wondering about a couple of things, When doing the coding process sometimes the CEL comes on and couple of other faults come up aswel. But once the vehicle is shut down and turned on again its goes back to normal and no lights are on. My question to that is when the fault is set and then goes inactive is the fault then stored as an inactive fault until it is cleared. If so what would i use to clear any kind of faults, I've searched around and found Ediabas tool. would i need that tool to clear faults if so could i get a copy of that Please.

There is no reason to worry about this, but you can clear fault codes with E-Sys as follows:

Click "External Applications" in the left menu.
Click "External Application"
Double-click "Transmitter"
Scroll to the bottom and click "14 FF FF FF,31 01 0F 06,31 01 40 00 00,31 01 40 00 05,31 01 40 00 01;Clear all DTCs (clear DTC,clear Infospeicher,ZFS - DM_Lock,clear ZFS - DM_Clear,ZFS - DM_Unlock)"
Click Connect
Click Send

My laptop with all programs and files was stolen and no back-ups of any files are available. Can I code the car now if I install new program/data files on new computer?
I have the PM received back in July with the link for everything I need. Are those links still good?

Hi All

A friend of me bought a 4er BMW and he would like to code that the illumination of the cluster/Kombi is always on.
Does someone know if this is possible?

Because during the day the illumination is off.

Thank you

Hi everyone.
I have successfully activated the Sports Display as well as the Sports Display Units in the Language/Units settings. All works fine.

However; the Sports display shows 320 hp as max value for power, and 640 Nm as max value for torque. Is it possible to increase the max values?
My car perform 360hp and 700 Nm (after some tuning).
I have a 640d GC, 2012.

Regards.

The range is not codeable. It is hard coded in ECU firmware.

Tried to follow install and coding instructions, but I know I went wrong somewhere.

My ENET cable came with software on DVDs but also had to find some missing pieces through search engines. Ended up with the following:
- E-sys 3.27.1, INPA 4.4.7, Ediabas 6.4.3, Psdzdata 50.3 full, E-sys Launcher Premium 2.4.3

I tried to install everything on secondary internal HDD in root directory folder labeled BMWInstall. I can run E-sys directly but Launcher cannot find and closes.

What is strange is that it took multiple tries to connect with error messages indicating software incompatibility; however, I was able to generate FSC activation code to update maps along with code to Activate Enhanced Bluetooth without errors.

Then, I closed E-sys, and tried to attempt another modification but got multiple errors and my token no longer worked/pin was rejected.

Any help on finding valid, updated installs, would be helpful so I can start-over would be appreciated. Ideally, I would like to keep 60GB of data off main SSD if possible.

E-Sys Launcher PREMIUM requires E-Sys be installed in default location, which is C:\EC-Apps\ESG\E-Sys. This should not be a problem as it is only around 235 MB.

As for the big PSdZData folder, assuming external SSD is D:\, you can either put the entire Data folder on D:\ and set E-Sys Options to point to D:\Data, or you can put just the PSdZData folder on D:\ and create a Windows symbolic link between C:\data\psdzdata (empty folder) and D:\psdzdata (actual psdzdata) and set E-Sys Options to point to C:\Data.

Coding made easy: Step by step instructions

Dear all,

I just started to follow this thread with very much interest because I would like to start my experience in coding.

Reading here and there I understood that there are two main ways to code my 2er AT (F45) car: Carly for basic coding and E-SYS via ENET cable for advanced coding.

Stating that one of the main coding I would like to do seems not supported by Carly I'm beginning to study E-SYS.... even though I'm veeeeeeery hesitant because I'm a very newbie in this matter and I never did it even in my previous cars and so I'm really scared to make a mess and screw-up everything! :-/

What I'm trying to do now - apart reading this and other threads - is to understand if it worth my time spending it in reading how to code a car without actually understanding if my car could be coded or not.

In fact I own a 2er Active Tourer (F45) and it seems that there is a leak of knowledge and experience for this specific car.

I found no experiences of succeeded F45 codings and moreover - the few thread I found - seems to be misleading to me.

I read that someone was able to code the F45 using the Mini F056 target, someone else is saying to use the F020, and others are saying that the F45 are not codable because "trimmed" (or better it is still unknown how to easily code them).

So I'm kindly asking you if anyone of you succeeded in coding an F45 2er Active Tourer or if he/she is well informed so to understand whether to keep on studying and investing my time on the topic or not.

Thanks a lot and any tip will be very much appreciated

You can code F45 as follows:

E-Sys Launcher Car Series = F45
E-Sys Connection Target = F56

E-Sys Launcher will map Trimmed Data back into E-Sys.

Sorry if this is the wrong area. After all my searching I cant seem to get an answer so i might as well ask. Please move if this is the wrong thread.

I have a 2014 F30 with a build date of November 2013, I have the full NBT nav idrive with touch controller.

There are some codes I've found that require the latest firmware on the ECU, like to show the TPMS numbers and temp. I believe i need the latest ECU firmware...?

So.... I assume I have to flash the ECU using the latest pszdata.

1. Do I need to redo all the codes that came standard with my car, like the Sport+ Transmission, Bluetooth connectivity, Adaptive Headlights, etc?

2. Will this mess up my ConnectedDrive subscriptions at all?

3. Potential for bricking my entire car?

4. Do I need to put my car on a charger or can i just run it off the standard battery?
4a. Do I push the start button once and just keep on "accessory" or do I just plug in the cable, connect to esys and complete the flash?

5. Is there any issue if i have the latest pszdata installed on my laptop and e-sys and my iDrive is on the original/non updated version? Or do i need to have the oldest pszdata files installed with e-sys to start coding?
5a. I assume that even if i have the newest pszdata files and oldest version of iDrive, i will only be able to code stuff in my current iDrive system? Such as folding mirrors and maybe iDrive disclaimer? This is the confusing part. Whats the difference between using old versions of pszdata and newest versions of pszdata?


Thank you in advance to anyone who can give suggestions and help!!!

[*]Go to SVT Actual Box (right pane, midway down) and click on "Read(VCM)" button.
[*]SVT box will display SVT of different modules of your car, some with green bullets. These green CAFD files are of our interest.
Hi, yesterday I received my ENET cable so I tried to buckup the car config.
Actually I was able to connect to the car using the F56 target and I was able to read the VO but when I try to read the actual SVT via the "Read SVT" button I get the error shown in the Read-SVT.png image herein attached. Details of the error are shown in the SVT.pdf file.
I was able to read the list of the ECUs using the "Read (ECU)" button instead. This button gave me the list of the ECUs (see ECUs.png).
I also checked that the I-Step in the car was compatible with the target i chose and it seems to be.

Could you please help me understanding if it is normal and I could use the "Read (ECU)" button instead?

Moreover even reading all the ECUs I'm not able to find the module FEM_BODY. Do you know if it has been substituted in the F45 target cars.
I'd like to find the FEM_BODY -> 3053 PwMaster -> KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN but even reading all the code data of all the available ECUs I was not able to find them

Thank you very much for your support

Read ECU instead of Read SVT is fine, and is normal on some newer cars.

You have BDC_BODY instead of FEM_BODY. Look in it.

Had my car coded by Octopump about a year ago. Just noticed after oil change yesterday that the dash display no longer shows the speed I am traveling and I can't figure out why. All other coding seems to be intact and I told BMW dealer not to update any coding in my car. Is there a setting to turn it back on somewhere?
Press button at end of BC Stalk, and Cycle it to display the last setting, which is Digital Speed.
