I ordered mine from the codecard link posted by Svache. Took about 10 days to arrive and it works fine. Costs a little more but another option.

But, yeah, you can browse 'offline' as well, it's what I usually do. Basically you need to back up the files (read them) as described in the various guides in the first post, and then you can open them in e-sys by going to 'editors & viewers' and then to 'FDL-Editor'. It will then ask for the pin, then you can click on the button next to the text field where it says 'File Name', just open one of the CAFD files (the ones with the .ncd extentions) and you can browse them
Svache you really are a credit to this site - my thanks to you!

I have been working on using an ICOM from the dealer I work at. I have tried several different laptops with Windos XP and 7. I have assigned the network the IP address of the ICOM. The laptops see the network but will not read the VO. I have finally given up. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE ICOM FROM A BMW DEALER WILL NOT WORK!

Then keep the spam coming!


I ended up building my own cable from the opened ended one available on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o01_s00_i00

Really easy to do. I just used a 510 ohm .25w 2% resistor and spliced a sacrificed cat5 patch cable that had a ground shield on it already; otherwise I would have just crimped a plain RJ45 connector to it.

The cable worked on the first try and I made 3 separate backup copies of the CAF files just to be safe (I come from paranoid side of IT).

It did take me 3 days after first loading the CAF files to get up the courage to actually change stuff on my car. My wife would kill me if I bricked it!

Now that the changes are in, they are really cool and make the car so much better.

Thanks again for your efforts and the efforts of the F10 guys.

Both have as comment "timeout for delayed open control of the bootlid", so it is very well possible this is what you are looking for.

Thanks a lot for looking into that

I'll try to test it this weekend and see how it goes

svache, thank you so much for all this amazing information!

I just coded my April 2012 build F30. I did all the mods EXCEPT those under FEM_BODY and REM as when I tried to read the coding data I received an error that it could not find the CAFD file. I checked in the psdzdata folders and I see that the required CAFD files are not in there. Does that mean I need a newer psdzdata file than v46.3? If so, where can I get the newest version?

Please and thank you.

Quick question for the experts.

Do I need to have one copy of the SWE folder inside C:\ESysData\psdzdata and also inside C:\ESysData?

Just wondering since that folder is 14 GB and it seems dumb that the program requires two copies of it within the same scheme of things.

Thanks.

Not sure, but I use NTFS symbolic links for situations like these where the programmers were not thinking.

It works for me using the symbolic link as I, too, did not want to have two identical copies of 14 GB. I have not tried it any other way.

After doing some successful coding the other day I was going to do dome more today but the ENET cable connection does not seem to be working?

Local area connection 2 "doesnt have a valid IP configuration"

Any ideas?

Edit - working fine now after restating the lap top, switching off wifi etc.

I was able to find one (cafd_00000794.caf.002_020_029) of the missing CAFD files (from another forum).

Now all I need is: cafd_000007A1_005_018_028

I coded everything I wanted so far. Check out the mirror folding and window up/down from key fob and from long holding the comfort access!

I agree, it does seem a bit dumb but I just did it anyways lol. I wasn't sure to which directory of the two the program would look at

I heard this one before, after people turn their wifi off it usually works again. Kinda weird, my wifi doesn't seem to bother the connection :S

That's a weird problem.. I'm not exactly sure how that's possible. I doubt it is because of the dataset not being available, it should read the file regardless and if there would be an error, I kind of would expect a different one.. Either way, could you read the i-step number of your car? You can check this by putting your car's profile on an USB stick (by using the port in the glove compartment) and then read the file on a computer with notepad. Somewhere you should be able to read some numbers between these tags: <i-step> </i-step>. This way we can see if it is indeed the dataset or not, I doubt it but just to be sure

edit: well disregard my answer basically.. I just checked with some other people and they too think it might be outdated datafiles. Hopefully the 3.22 version of e-sys and 46.6 datafiles will become available soon. I especially expect problems with the current version once the 2013 cars come out.

(waiting for videos to upload to Youtube then I'll post link)
Just a word of caution: be careful with using CAFD's from other cars on your own car. There's a possibility the CAFD you downloaded does not have all the options enabled that you car may have come with, resulting in a disabled option or error codes (or worse, certain CAFD's contain safety related specifics and if something is changed there, your airbag, for example, could malfunction).

Hi Svache, just wanted to say thank you very much for this! It's so cool to modify stuff using a laptop

I have built my own cable using an existing shielded Ethernet cable (I believe they call it CAT6) and with a 511 Ohm resistor. It is working like a charm, I do not even get the yellow triangle with the Limited Connectivity message.

The other day I coded the ASS and when I have time I will do the rear lights as well. Yesterday I was browsing offline, but could not figure out exactly what to set yet as I have werte=14 instead of off. There is also a separate off section

If there are suckers like me that blow the cigarette lighter fuse... The fuse is under the hood at position 66.

Thanks a lot man!

i finally took the plunge and coded our x3. its pretty much like the f10 cheat sheet. i the only part that was the same as the f30 was the hucic. everything else i was able to get from the f10 cheat sheet. pretty sweet

was able to unlock the dvd in motion, trunk closing with remote, etc.

might need to check the f10 forums though because i wasnt able to figure out how to make the top view mirrors stay on.

Anyone know of a cheaper place to buy this cable (as Sean apparently is no longer making them), and the site in Serbia (or where ever it is) will run me nearly $80 Canadian (w/ shipping and conversion). $80 for a cable seems a bit steep. Any other options?
