My question is do I need to use exactly the same versions to undo the coding I had done? or Can I just use the latest one? Does it have anything to do with i-step thing?
Sorry if it's noob question. It's been a while since I coded.
Thanks in advance!

Should be able to use latest versions.

Hello Shawn,
New to coding on the F-30 LCI 2016. Could I get a link for the software please?
Legend.
Thanks

Ok. I had to start a completely new account here at the BimmerForum.

I had an account, but I was an idiot, and used an ALT-code in my username, and I can't use alt-codes on my new mobile phone.

My old username was m³shelly.

I'm using up posts, so I can send, and receive PMs with my new username.

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 09:59 PM

I'm not exactly how many posts I need to add before I can send/receive PMs, but I think it's 8?, maybe 10?

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:01 PM

My story is this... I had a version of the coding software that I 'bought' from a download site, that had NCSExpert, Ediabas, and INPALoad. That was >5 years ago, since I had just bought an e90 335ix (2011), and I was successful at changing a bunch of options on that car.

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:03 PM

That software package came with ESYS, and what I thought was everything to code the F-Series cars. I put bought in parentheses, because I didn't pay anything but a few bucks for the convenience. The USB to OBD-II cable was more expensive.

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:04 PM

Then, last week I purchased a new(er) car... a 2016 340ix. So, I pulled out the old downloaded, .zip files, and unzipped the F-series files. Well, it didn't work for the newer car. That was 2012 or 2013, so it didn't surprise me.

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:06 PM

So, I went back online again to search for a newer version of Esys, with a token generator that would work on my newer car. I was finally successful. I talked to the car and changed one KOMBI parameter, to add the digital speedo on the BC options in the middle of the speedo (which wasn't a huge deal for me, since my car has HUD anyway).

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:07 PM

I did notice that some of the CAFD files, under a few of the modules, gave me errors when trying to read them. I am assuming that's because the version of Esys I found last night was still slightly too old for my car (I'm not really sure though).

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:09 PM

Then, I went back in tonight to try and code some more changes, and the damn .EST token file failed to work!! So, first, let me apologize for posting a bunch of posts on this thread, to give me access to the PM system.

Second, can I please ask for a PMed link to a newer version of Esys, and a token generator?

m3shelly · 08-07-2019, 10:16 PM

Also, if you know anyone interested, I'm selling a 2000 M5 (e39) right now. It's in nearly perfect condition, black on black. (I was never successful at coding anything on that car, but I didn't try too much, since there isn't much to be changed on the e39s.

Also, if anyone here needs .zipped copies of the e9x software, I have that. I would have to upload to my DropBox account though, since I don't have a website to host the data files.

I will say, after my first experience using ESYS, it is much, much easier to use than NCSExpert and INPAload. BMW is definitely simplifying the software, and anyone with an F-series car is so lucky to be using a simpler software and coding method.

Maybe I should have waited before saying NCSExpert and INPA-Load was more difficult. As stated earlier in this thread, I was able to get E-Sys working, using E-Sys Launcher Pro with the FDL Editor working for ONE DAY! I put it down since it was getting late, and I didn't have access the next day (the PIN didn't work).

I came here to try and re-download everything, now using Launcher Premium, going through all the date-change steps for the Launcher Work-Around, and I still get the Date Incorrect or Manipulated error.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be helpful. I have a different laptop I will try later tonight if I have time.
Thanks!
Shelly

Not sure what changed, or what was different, but I went back and relaunched everything Friday, on the laptop I had issues using the day before. And, ALL WAS WELL!!

Thanks so much for the support here! And, if you're watching, thanks to everyone who added to the database of values to change for specific functions.

I changed about 90% of the things I wanted to change, primarily removing the seat belt notifications, and legal screen disclaimers.

Thanks again!!!

I wanted to add, for those of you who downloaded and read thru the ''cheat codes' PDF. The last page lists codes that haven't been proven yet. I tried to change mine so the brake didn't need to be pushed to start the car. Don't do it!

I changed mine and the car wouldn't start. The doors would open and the ignition would turn on, but the starter wouldn't engage to start the car. [EDIT: starter wouldn't engage with, or without the brake pedal depressed.]

I immediately plugged back in to reconnect, changed that one code back, and all was well.

If I were to try again, I would change that code, and there's another one that's nearly identical. Perhaps they both need to be modified?

It's not that important really; I just thought it would be convenient to start the car by reaching across when I'm putting a backpack in the right-front seat.
