VO Code them:

LDW - 5AD
HBA = 5AC

In some cars you can enable LDW and HBA to default to on position.

I've added in VO 5AC and 5AD, now i get camera disfunction error on start and nothing is changed. Any idea? I have KAFAS and not KAFAS2 in E-Sys, it can help to solve? 2013/03 the month and year production of my F31.

What ECU's did you VO Code afterwards?

I coded fem_body, h_nbt, kafas2 and kombi. Now i need the car for vacation and i've restored the originals vo codes and recoded all the ecus but the camera error is still here. There is something i can do before i go to the bmw service?

Did you try an clear the error?

With E-Sys:

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

Click Connect

After that i disconnect all programs and shut down the car and close it.
I reopened the car but the error remains

What if any ECU's have no CAFD or have CAFD named cafd_ffffffff-255_255_255?

[colin.t.chiang]

Hi Mario & Evil_ss,

Did either of you get this working in Oz with the FSC code?

I'm curious to see if it works now as with my 2016 330e, I get an indicator in the Kombi appear whenever I seem to be over the speed limit.

This indicator is basically the letters "km/h" with an semi-circular arrow pointing anti-clockwise all in a medium blue colour.

This implies to me that SLI of some sort is coded into the car, although the car does not come with the 8TH SLI option according to it's VIN.

Comments form others also welcome please... thanks

The only ECU with no CAFD is FEM_GW, and the ECU ACSM have 3 CAFD. What can i do? There is some step by step guide to reset? Thanks for your support Shawn!

That is all normal.

All you can do now is reset all ECU (Right-Click ECU => Code) except FEM_GW, clear errors again, restart car, and see if errors are gone. When you code DME / DDE to reset it, make sure motor is NOT running.

Thanks for all your support. Make all possible resets, nothing work! At last i disconnect the neg pole of battery for 30 seconds, problem solved

That will work.

Hello,

i want to Code LDW but i have not all options to Code why this is missing?

[colin.t.chiang]

Hi all,

Fyi, there is now a solution in Australia for those wanting to retrofit SLI (8TH) into the F3x.

Through some BMW dealers, you can now order the code for your F3x. However this will not work for all F3x. I have a 330e (manuf. Feb 16) which I had the 8TH retrofitted into it 2 months ago.

I tried to get my wife's 320d (manuf. Mar 15) retrofitted with the 8TH and despite having the KAFAS2 camera, this retrofit did not work. Apparently this car does not have the upgraded camera (I thought that was the KAFAS2).

Programming for both was done at Auto Classic in Perth.

Their charge was $77 for the code + $220 for programming.

So my suggestion to those of you who want this option is to talk to you local BMW dealer who will order the code for you if they can obtain it for your car's VIN. They will also need to order an IBAC code so that when your car is next programmed at the dealer (any dealer) your car will not lose the 8TH function.

My 2c worth for sharing purposes....

Cheers guys.

Is this Lane Depature Warning codeable?
If yes: which ECU's should be coded?

I have speed limit information in my HUD.

If you have KAFAS camera, and it seems you do if you have SLI, then to add LDW, you should be able to add 5AD to your VO and VO Code Kombi and KAFAS for LDW to work. But you also need Dash Switch to turn "On" LDW or a means to FDL Code it to be "On" by default, and you optionally need the Steering Wheel Vibrator.

I'm interested in getting this for my 340i. The programming part you speak of, can we do this ourselves with esys. I.e. Just order the code for the SLI and then add it/program yourself and save the $220.

[colin.t.chiang]

Hi x5mad,

From what I understand, the answer is "no". I got this from the lead BMW Guru at my local dealership. I asked the same specific question. Sorry. Would you like to ask your local dealership the same question and see if you get a difference response?

Is there any retrofit Steering Wheel Vibrator.????

[BimmerSI]

Hi guys!

As I am reading posts I found that it is possible to enable HBA amd maybe as well LDW if you have SLI (Speed Limit Conrol) and BSW (Blind Spot Warning) that uses KAFAS 2 camera and ECU. With BSW you also get vibrator in steering wheel.

Can anyone confirm the coding procedure please:

1. VO code High Beam Assist and Line Departure Warning
2. Enable Kombi, Kafas...????!?!? what else
3. Where can I set HBA to always on as I do not want to change the physical buttons on the stick?

Thank you!

[Chivau]

Hello,

Has anyone actually succesfully done this retrofit in its entirety?

I have SLI, FCW, ACC and therefor KAFAS2. I want to retrofit HBA and LDW. From reading this thread, I understand that it is a matter of VO coding and installation of a switch for LDW, a new stalk module which supports HBA on/off and a vibrator for LDW. I assume the vibrator is in the stalk module and not the steering wheel?

Please share your recent experiences with this

Vibrator is in the steering wheel, you also need to replace external mirrors housing and electronic to add the warning triangle lights
