Taken the plunge and decided to start fiddling with my car's ECU

First changes include:

• removal of iDrive disclaimer
• removal of side/rear/top camera warnings
• car to start in Eco Pro mode (hey, it's my daily)
• car to start with ASS disabled (it has caused me battery issues)
• screen and instrument cluster to display //M Performance animations on startup
• tyre temperature displayed alongside pressure

There is a heap of information out there on the bmw coding forum but it's all a big mess that makes it seem harder than it is. You basically connect a laptop to the car via a $12 cable and run a program called E-Sys. Your expenditure can stop at $12 (cost of the cable) or depending on who you talk to you may be persuaded to shell out more for a working setup.

I've uploaded all of my changes to the car and look forward to testing them out tomorrow

Success!! All changes effective



I had to reset the date/time, and also my memory buttons need to be reprogrammed, but apart from that all is well. Very easy and fast.

For reference I used E-Sys v3.26 and psdzdata v54.

Hi,

Just got my f36 too... Have a cable and looking for software. Can you advise where I can get it please?

Looking to:
* close powered boot using interior button
* fold up mirrors on lock
* enable enhanced bluetooth

I'm fairly new to this but have technical background. What I'm missing is what the token is needed for and what does and doesn't need it.

Thanks
S

You are looking for "e-sys 3.26.1" and "psdzdata v54"

The token is just a software licence for e-sys. You need it to modify the coding files (but don't need it to read the settings off the car).

Here's a good video of the process:

Thanks Sean...

Couple of questions if I may:
* RE enhanced bluetooth. I have pro nav and S6NHA taken from the bmwvin site. My research says about changing to different values based on the starting value. Could you confirm what I should change to based on the above?
* Also - maybe a trivial question, should this be done with ignition running?

Thanks,
Steve

See my post here:

Car should be either on a charger, or motor running to ensure proper ECU voltage during coding.

I'd highly recommend doing it with the engine running. I first tried to code with a 3.6A battery tender connected to the car and I had lots of connection issues - disappeared as soon as I started the engine.

Also turn off your laptop's firewall/AV just in case

[Srthomas]

Awesome... Just done it. Followed the pdf to change from and then recode the head unit ecu. Worked a treat Though some bits just needed thinking. about due to slight changes in software.

Thanks to all.

Question is do I build up more courage to change to fold mirrors on lock? Hmmm. Another day I feel.

Hi, do you still have the names of the settings you changed to achieve these?
or a cheat sheet ?

thanks

I don't have the list with me (at home somewhere) but they would have all/mostly been from the F30 cheat sheet:

Just picked up a 428i, looking to code, seems a little confusing. Hoping shawns PDF and links to esys straighten it out. Thanks in advance Sir for the links.

for some reason for an f36 2017 the SCH_FBD, SCH_TOEHKI, TASTER_FBD are missing from the HKFM2. do you know where I can find the code for the hatch. I can send you my CAFD file if you would like.

thank you for all your help.

Not sure. If you say it is not there, I believe you. BMW may have changed the FDL Code name in HKFM2. I have not studied it to know.

Those Funktion names are not found in HKFM2, but functionality with additional choices are.

Hello

I don't know how to:

- activate high beam
- speed limits
- weather

F36 - D957757

Thanks
