Jeg23,

Even i am waiting on your cable we will first finish of all the standard/successfull mods .... then will start with our R&D :thumbup:

 

nobody has torque distribution menu active?
just asking, maybe...

 

i tested i see it but greyed! and i have x drive

 

@hans/dreamcar

Same here I've got xDrive but menu still grayed out.

 

Same here, 2012 F25 X3.

 

It would be great if anyone could find out how to code back module to default settings and give a PDF on it just in case someone screws up and needs to go back to default parameters like NCS with expertmode..

 

Yes there is restore option... want to volunteer to make a PDF? Click on VCM instead of Coding at the left bottom you will see VCM back up... I havent tested so test it at your own risk.

 

Shawn,

I ran the calculation and it shows the changes to be implemented but surprisingly it doesnt show any changes to KAFAS but shows changes to almost 90% of the modules...

Its is little scary to run the code it is touching all safety modules etc:-

 

@ Dreamcar

Lol...I am still new at this and unfortunately I dont have a F series to try out everyday and code and test on it, as I dont own one... I just code for people that want F-series coding. I was just asking as this thread is about learning how to code an F-series, and with coding you also need to test how to convert things back to default if problems arises. I know you can write down all the coding changes you made and revert them back to how it was originally, but again this is for those that screwed up bigtime and cannot go back to original.. I guess at this point this thread is about only discovering new features but doesnt worry about having to code back to default when problems arise. I guess this will have to wait till all the disovery of functions has reached it plateau and there is not too many things to discover anymore

 

@Erregend;
I think you are correct. I was confusing BC_V_KORREKTUR with BC_DIGITAL_V_KORREKTUR, the latter I did not see in KOMBI. The E60 had both as follows:

BC_V_KORREKTUR = Correction for Analog / Head up display speed
BC_DIGITAL_V_KORREKTUR = Correction for digital speed

BMW can advance the speedometer by 10% + 2.4 MPH per the attachment, which at higher speeds can be pretty substantial. It would be nice if someone with a Radar Gun could actually test an F10 at 100 MPH, and see if its actually closer to 87 MPH.

@alex_c;
Thanks, but my Blackberry is already set to download the full message, so I am not sure what is going on. I'll have to play with it some more.

 

@DreamCar,
I take it you ran the FP calculations, but that was as far as you went with it, or did you apply it to VO coding to the whole car? My guess is KAFAS is not changing, because you have already manually changed everything in there needed for SLIS. It will be interesting if you could restore your KAFAS file from JEG23 after he pulls his, and then change the VO and recalculate it and see then if KAFAS updates. It does seem odd though that so many other modules would need to be coded just for 8TH, but I really don't know if that is normal or not.

 

Dreamcar, did you forgot me?

 

Shawn,
This is what i did
conected---Read VO---Read VCM--Activated FA---clicked "Calculate " button under KIS/SVT section...

and i even see new modules getting added .. i dont understand why would the DSC need to be changed? i am assuming that it checking if there are any new CAF avaialble and my current files are older than version 46? Looks like on what daten files we have


Hans I didnt forget about you i was checking this VO cding offline will get the files for you now... What CAF's do you need?

 

:thumbup: all of them

 

downloading but it says 18 hours.... pls keep the site up.....

If you figure out how to code the VO, and could explain it in plain english, not like in the guide, I would love to add options 231 and 129.

:roundel:

 

mobileum, dou you have option 8TH and 8TD?

 

Only 8TH

Here is the Option List for my car:

 

@NeedsDecaf and others: I got the same error after attaching a battery charger to the car. I suspect it was noise induced into the system that messed up the ethernet data.

Now instead I just turn off DRL, fan, Radio, etc., to minimize drain on battery.

 

Hmmm.

Same exact error?

I had turned off the fan and radio, but the door was open (to facilitate cable) and the DRL's were on. Maybe try to turn them off and shut the door?

Worth a shot, but I'm not hoping for much.

 

I think it is not battery drain/voltage, but noisy environment that killed mine for the time the charger was connected.

You may want to try:
1) running laptop on battery only while coding. (No power line or charger noise.)
2) grounding pins 4&5 to earth ground and grounding metal of computer and grounding the car itself.
3) make sure that one pair if twisted wires in cable are on pins 1&2 and a pair is on 3&6. Twist is critical for noise isolation.

 

Hans are you talking about rear fog lights?

 

rear fog lights I already installed the EU switch

S231A Deleted: 250 km/h limitation
S129A Weapon mount in headliner, front :rofl:

regarding SLI
S8TDA Decoding, speed limit info
S8THA SPEED LIMIT INFO

 

Hans my car already came with that deletion and I feel you don't have to update VO ... And seriously will you be able to test it ?

 

I tried to add option 231, but I get an error when I calculate FP

Not all elements of the FA were found in the FA2FP: SALAPA 231 [72] - SYSTEM_ERROR

I think I need another option? any ideea dream, or could you send me your FA?

 

8TD! Looks like we need an new module all together in that case we need all his cafs that will clear the air... Yesterday when I was playing with VO I saw a module coming in.

Mobil when you have some time can you please send us the cafs will pm you my email.

 

which caf you saw?

 

hmm, because your ICM is almost the same as mine

 

guys, help me understand how to code a new VO

in Editors&Viewers -> FA-Editor -> Load FA -> Expand FA -> Edit options -> Click the little button to apply changes -> save FA -> calculate FP
in Expert mode
Load the modified FA -> Activate FA
SVT Actual -> READ VCM -> Save SVT
KSI/SVT Target -> calculate -> save SVT
select modules in SVT Tree -> Detect CAF for SWE -> select the module for my I-step -> click OK

after doing this for all modules, I have some of them that contain red CAFS, some that contain blue ones all of them with the green checkmark

Here I'm stuck,
After doing all of this, should I click code for all of them, or just for the blue ones or just for red ones.

 

Someone just posted psdzdata V46.3 at BMW coding forum. Hopefully this update has the newer CAFD files for the new global update that some of you needed which E-Sys was looking for and could not get.
