I'm lost. :dunno:

If you have issue with Edit FDL, specifically what is that issue?

Same flashing guide you presumably already have:

E-Sys - Flashing ECU Guide v.1.0.1.pdf:
https://mega.nz/#!p9JQhAwZ!JJ9ptw8Titz8tZbLobnZ61g5uAJjkJcnSUvG81nYMsw

Flashing a used ECU is always difficult, as the I-Step Shipment is usually both different from your car, and is unknown. After you calculate KIS/SVT Target, check the box that says "HW-IDs from SVTactual" and then Save as SVT_soll, and see if you can flash it then. If it still does not work, the only thing you can do is try different I-Step Shipment dates until hopefully one works. This is simply Trial and Error. You can only flash it when SVT_soll ECU HWEL is Black, not Red / Blue.

First off, thanks for providing me info on coding as I continue to plan retrofitting my X3 M40i with a heated M Steering Wheel. Some more questions? How would I update "My vehicle" screen, then "Settings", then "Climate" functions as demo'd on this on this video? I do have heated seats, so that's the only thing I can control, but once I add the heated steering wheel...how do I update this part? It this a Dealer update? Thoughts?

THANK YOU shawnsheridan for your help here and in other forums. More power to you my friend. Now another question, in regards to swapping transmission on this F series cars, can we handle this job by this esys and/or other tools also needed. I'm interested in used transmission. THANK YOU in advance

Hello!

You cannot use an used transmission. First at all you have to delete the old ISN inside, otherwise you will not be able to switch to D. Deleting the ISN is not a job for E-Sys. For this you need special equipment.

VIN issue. Do exactly this:

1) Read FA
2) Select Read VIN our of FA & "Read VIN"
3) Then do all of the ECU Selects - blflash...
4) Do the Check Software
5) Then select the "Read VIN out of FA" which greys out the "Enter VIN"
6) Then do the Start...

E-Sys Launcher should be used ONLY for FDL Coding. Just run E-Sys without E-Sys Launcher if you are Flashing.

:dunno: I just told you, "Just run E-Sys without E-Sys Launcher". That's it. E-Sys Launcher is needed only for FDL Coding.

Hi freind, I connect esys launcher pro when load FA and activate FA, in profile I have section 10 and 15 marked as unknown, any idea ?
I plan in next day to retrofit hu_entrynav with navigation and remove hu_entry which not have Bluetooth and usb,

Hi guys,

I programmed by F36 using E-SYS and an ENET cable 5 years ago, and it was smooth sailing since.

Fast forward to 2022, had to send in my Beamer to a shop that wasn't my selection (insurance chose it), who then sent it to a BMW dealer to install a replacement OEM headlight, and our good friends there reflashed the entire car...wiping out both my E-SYS settings and my MHD flash tune.

No biggie. The tune has promptly been reflashed. But I can't find my old ENET cable.

So the question: can I use a USB to ENET adapter with my tune flash cable?

Cheers.

You're probably right Shawn. Okay I'll order an ENET cable. Wish I'd held on to my old one.
