How did you code the car, via FDL coding or via VO coding? I would try VO coding the vehicle and then recode the applicable modules. Should be as simple as adding ZPK to the VO and then base coding the NBT-HU, TRSVC, PMA, EPS, BDC, and SAS module.

Not sure you will get it to auto Park without adding the console button though.

Lastly, the control module for PDC is a different part number than for a car with PMA, you will probably have to replace that as well.

I try following:

connect-read fa- activate fa -reac ecu (read svt dont work) coding - done. - read coding data - edit fdl (i try all combinations for camera.) but the camera dont work...

Did I something wrong?

p.s. i would change the pma unit at last. The rear camera is now important for me.

 

Possibly. VO coding will make all the necessary FDL changes, assuming you correctly insert the new FA value. For the i3 it should be adding the code ZPK and coding the modules I listed above, if equipped. My concern is that ZPK is also looking for a park assist button, front, and side PDC sensors to enable the auto Park feature. Might mess with it if those are not there.

 

hello!
I try to add word Zpk to fa/sapa element

It displays:not all elements of FA found in the Fa2fp: salpa ZPK

After that i try to code the units you listed. I have only these: acsm2,ae,body,bdc-gw,bkombi,dsc2,edme,eps,gws,hu-nbt,ihka3,lim,pma2,sme2,tbx,tcb,ucx.

 

Its works. But i have another problem. My 12v 20ah battery overheated. Somebody have a bdc programming parameters for charging 12v battery? I think that i code the factory values...

Hmm... Never seen anyone tinker with that yet. None of your VO changes should have affected that, were you making FDL changes in the DME/EME/EDME?

All the i3s come with the same 12V battery, so the VO changes wouldn't affect it.

 

There is a value for 12v charging current i have 65 and 20. Can somebody make a picture or send a file from this setting in BDC? I need check it... Thank you!

Where did you locate that value, and what was the string name that you want checked?

 

I dont remember the changes dme/eme

In the bdc is battery type= value 20ah

After that is three parameters about charging current. These i need to check

Hello! Did you check this parameters?

Sorry it took so long, got this checked today. Mine do say 20AH in the BDC FDL that you posted. Do you need all 4 of those? I can grab a pic.

 

Yes, please a pic!

Thank you! Do you know what is wert 64? 6,4A current? Or 0,64A?

Sent from my Lenovo PB1-770M using Bimmerfest mobile app

 

Actually, neither. Werte values are in Hexadecimal format, which means that 64 is not actually 64. If you convert it to decimal, it is 100. 50 in hex is 80 in decimal.

What this means to the car however, I do not know for certain. If you want my best guess, I would say this is the determinant for what level to maintain the 12V battery at(in terms of percent). Most BMWs maintain the battery between 65-80% state of charge so they can force a little extra juice into it during braking, allows them to recover a tiny bit of the energy and improve fuel economy(again, a tiny bit). On the i3 there is no need for that, so the operating range for the 12V battery could be bumped up to full capacity, or 80-100%.

Again, the idea of SoC limits is jus speculation.

 

Something is wrong. But i dont know what. After a trip , the 12v battery is charging and is hot. Produces much gas , like overcharged. I have measured from 14,5 to 14,0 Volt. It is normal?

Sent from my Lenovo PB1-770M using Bimmerfest mobile app

 

My i3 sits around 14.3 after trips, 14.8 on startup. So that seems normal. Possible you have a faulty cell inside the battery causing it to overdraw and gas out.

 

Do you connect the can pins fonthe camera too? I think, i have connected 5pins . Three for data in data out, and two for can. Can started video...

 

Did you wire the PDC up front? Did you have to get new wire harness for the fronts or was there a connection already there?

Same goes for rear camera?


I’m just wondering if BMw would use same harness for all cars and just have them terminated/covered if the option was not purchased.

Except for a few things, BMW does not generally wire the cars the same...they use a customized harness to save the weight and money to have extra unused connectors and wiring in the harness. Some things, like the satellite radio receiver, they tend to install in the harness, but not many of the other options that are much harder to retrofit verses make at the factory.

 

Hi, anybody did it already? Any progress?
I would like some instruction step by step using genuine parts and coding by Bimmercode.
