Retrofit Cruise control coding
Hi all, new here, just bought my first BMW and have been researching like crazy regarding retrofitting the cruise control as I only have the LIM feature.
I have a 2016 330d xdrive build date of NOV 2015. I have found the other posts with the tutorial that explain how to actually retrofit the cruise control switches which I have already purchased. The point where I get stuck is the coding which states I have to add this using E-sys and adding option 544 to the FA and then coding the FEM, ICM and KOMBI. Is this the only way to add this feature when retrofitting? Is it possible to code the cruise control using BimmerCode ( I have the OBD tool and app and added a few small things practicing) and if so, does anyone know which codes need changing? The reason I am wondering this is because on the retrofit tutorial for cruise control it does show there are 3 codes you also change to allow the LIM function to still work and these can actually be found in the expert mode of the respective sections. The bit below is from the tutorial : If you want “LIM” function, you will need to do FDL coding per the table below. This will allow “SET” button to act like “LIM” button so that you get both LIM and Cruise control functions. Item CAFD File Name ECU Module Option Standard Changed CAFD_00000760-007-000-026 KOMBI 3003 SLD_ENABLE nicht aktiv to aktiv CAFD_0000067B_002_003_139 ICMQ 3000 C_SLD_Funktion nicht aktiv to aktiv CAFD_0000067B_002_003_139 ICMQ 3000 C_Umschaltung_ACC_DCC > unterdruecken to zugelassen I managed to find the above 3 settings in Bimmercode expert mode so that part appears to be possible. Is there any way to use expert mode on Bimmercode to activate the retrofitted cruise control please? If I really can only use E-Sys then this is something I am going to have to read up on and see if the programs/tokens are still available. ( and see if I'm brave enough) Thank you in advance if you've taken the time to read this. |

I guess just adding the 544 code to the FA via E-Sys adds all the relevant codes in 1 go. It's knowing which CAFD codes are changed when using E-sys and then seeing if they are accessible on bimmercode or not. Hopefully someone has done this already. |

Here the complete codings for the cruise control if you want it to do via Bimmercode...

Did you have these codes to hand or have you done this yourself previously via Bimmercode? I did try the search function for everything to do with retrofitting cruise control but never saw anything like this. Is there a list that explains other FA codes or is it a lot of technical decyphering? thank you again, I'll make sure I can find all these once connected to the OBD before I start, just in case some are missing on mine. |

And i'm only using E-Sys. But with E-Sys and another program i can calculate the manual codings for a specific equipment code. |

I may have to pick your brains when I get onto changing the headunit I think I have possibly the worst headunit available, no bluetooth and no combox, I don't even have a USB port under arm rest, only an AUX port. It's an ex Police vehicle so had the cheapest options I think |

Finally retro fitted this yesterday and coded it using Bimmercode expert mode with the lines you said. I did miss out the 2 lines for the HUD as I don't have a HUD. Very happy to say that cruise control now works and the LIM function still works (although my top button now says SET and not LIM but as long as I know it's fine. Just need to play some more with it. To activate I have to press the cruise button at bottom and speedo has red dot (stand by), then I press RES button and it goes green (active) and cruise control takes over. Speed + and - rocker switch works just fine as well. Need to find a steeper hill later to see how good the active braking is and if it holds me back at the desired speed. Many thanks again. |

Hi Pete I have the same poverty spec ex police car as you! I’m going to do the cruise control soon, just picked up a nbt evo 5 and hk system so in the middle of retrofitting that, Did you get it from a guy near armley by any chance? I’m from Huddersfield btw |

Scariest bit for me adding the cruise control was removing the actual airbag, never done one before. I’ve also removed the extra battery and cut a big square in the metal plate over the original battery to make it easier to remove earth lead before I do anything. I’m also hoping to retrofit a better head unit, screen etc as mine doesn’t even have Bluetooth, USB or Microphone in mine. I’ll be very interested in hearing how you get it recoded with you VIN number. Feel free to keep me updated and hopefully I can pick your brains. Did you get you’re id5 headunit from auction site? (how much if you don’t mind me asking) |

Worked like a charm as well for adding for cruise control using BimmerCode only.
Think the LIM might be conflicting slightly but both functions work though so very happy. I have to press SET (top button) for LIM function and + and - work as it should. I have to press Cruise button ( bottom one) and marker goes red at desired speed when pressed, then I press RES for it to go green and maintain speed. RES works as normal after that when braking for junctions etc. + and - also work on cruise with normal +/- 1mph normally or adding increments of 5mph when pressed past point of resistance on rocker switch. It also seems to apply brakes when going down hill to maintain speed and not go above. All in all, very happy indeed. |

Yes it does, I have done it using the codes provided by Aztebmw
I have added the cruise control buttons from another steering wheel and coded using an OBD2 adapter and Bimmercode app only. Just need to go into expert mode on each of the modules. Each module then needs coding before going onto next module. |
