- TELEMATIK_VIN = Coding_VIN
FDL CODE CMB_MEDIA:
Use modified VO with VIN that has factory options 614 and 615 as explained in my post here:

For writing a VIN to the Combox in E-Sys, I figured that out, and it is very simple:
So simple in fact, that I am mad I spent so much damn time in Tool32, CMEDIA.prg and E-Sys trying to figure it out.
First you must code CMB_MEDIA / TELEMATIK_VIN = Coding VIN using your real FA VIN. Then, open your FA up in the FA-Editor, change the VIN, Caluclate FP just to make sure there are no problems with it, and then save the FA with a new name, i.e. FA_VIN_FAKE. Lastly, go to the coding module, and under Vehicle Order load your new FA_VIN_FAKE, activate FA, and then FDL code CMB_MEDIA. Lastly, read CMB_MEDIA coding data, and verify the new VIN in brackets. In the attached picture, you can see my Combox and Head Unit are showing two different VIN's.
Afterwards, either shut down E-Sys, or load your original FA back and activate it before coding anything else. DO NOT code anything else with this FA, and DO NOT write this FA to the car.
For Internet and BMW Live to work, you need a VIN with factory options 614 and 615.

Read CMB_MEDIA and verify Short VIN in brackets [xxxxxxx] is FAKE VIN.
*** Use only to FDL Code CMB_MEDIA; DO NOT write this FA to the Car
1) Enable Data Transfer Option Under Phone
2) Enable Bluetooth Data Tethering on Phone
3) Under Connected drive; Update services (should show BMW Live and Internet services)
4) Go to BMW Live and Internet and make sure it it working
After it is working, use original VO with car VIN:
FDL CODE CMB_MEDIA:
- TELEMATIK_VIN = MOST_VIN
Read CMB_MEDIA and verify Short VIN in brackets [xxxxxxx] is REAL VIN.
DO NOT update services again or you will loose BMW Live and Internet.
*** If you do not return the Combox VIN to car VIN, you will encounter problems with future dealer programming, as the Combox will not be recognized, and programming will hault. |
Hey Shawn, is this 100% reversible? Also if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the VIN with the telematic options?
