PM sent. I don't have any new Cheat Sheet. I don't think F30 has had an update in a long time.

make sure you change the Network 1 hardware setting in Parallels (Win10) from Shared to Bridge Ethernet. I'm on a Macbook Air, so I was using a thunderbolt to ethernet adaptor and selected "Bridge Thunderbolt.

Any other questions about E-SYS should be answered by those more advanced than I.

Many thanks to ShawnSheridan and Almaretto for the guidance here.
I finally coded off the all the legal disclaimer screens, and can fold, unfold my mirrors with the comfort go door handles.

Still need to get a handle on changing werte values and how to properly save them. I read the "E-Sys - getting started supplement part 2, but I'm not sure what's really going on there with changing the value, clicking apply, then opening the *.ncd file . Am I just confirming the value was applied? What about the upper value changing to UNKNOWN? FWIW, I was trying to change the vehicle speed at which the mirrors unfold.

Additionally, I think I'm going to purchase a Schumacher INC-700A to tend the battery while I'm tuning the stereo (BimmerTech DSP) and or coding the car.
I'd rather not run the motor for extended periods of time. I was being real cautious tonight and it took me 40 mins just to code the simple items I did. Im sure as I become more comfortable, the time it takes to code will drop drastically, but still
This charger will also come in handy when flashing my Cummins. So it's well worth it.

Thanks so much for your confirmation. I am still getting the greyed out VIN. I can't figure out how to get my Thunderbolt Ethernet, set to Thunderbolt Bridge (It doesn't connect with that), also do I only need to do that on the Mac and not mess with Network 1 in Win 10. When I try to find anything that says Bridge in Win 10 Network, I can't find anything.

If you have advice, please help. It's so frustrating. The cable ENET I bought from amazon, it is yellow. The thunderbolt to ethernet is apple made.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Shawn - I'm ready to give coding a try on my 2013 F10. I would greatly appreciate a link to the files! And thanks in advance. It's awesome help like this that makes sites like this all worthwhile.

@shawnsheridan Hi Shawn can you please send me the latest files? Is there a method for updating the program files or should I uninstall and install? Thanks

I did nothing to the network settings (default DHCP settings) on the win10 side of things. Only the Network1 settings were set to Bridge Thunderbolt Ethernet in Parallels .

I too purchased my cable from Amazon. Mine is black.

Hi @shawnsheridan.

I would like a link of the files two and try to code

Thanks in advance.

E-Sys & E-Sys Launcher should be uninstalled from Windows Control panel and new versions installed. For psdzdata, just delete old folder and replace with new one.

fhlh,

Thank you so much for your response, and help!! I got it to work by changing the network settings in parallels, like you said. Wow, what a great feeling to have the VIN become visible, and allow me to connect. I am very grateful, for your advice.

Sincerely,

Joe

Hi Shawn,

Hoping to get the software to do some simple coding on my 2016 340i. Hope to run via parallels on mac, I've got a usb-OBD cable from my VW days, and simply want to code doors to unlock when shifting to park and code out the iDrive warning screen that comes on at startup.

Thanks

Your old Vag-Com Cable will not work. You need to get an ENET Cable.

I didn't know you could code the door locks to unlock by putting the car into Park. I coded mine to unlock when you press the engine stop button.

Good to know...close enough for me. The 'double-pull to open' is what confuses passengers (and sometimes me).

tolgag · 08-14-2016, 07:58 AM

Sorry for noob question.
I successfully coded available options but probably messed my local language.
it is not seen as available language ( Turkish btw) in iDrive menu.
It would be great if someone has idea how to revert back my local .
any ideas and help kindly appreciated

bk_mike · 08-14-2016, 01:08 PM

Could someone you PM me a link the the latest files? I will be picking up a F10 and want to do some coding. Much appreciated.

Search language in your head unit CAFD. Make sure desired language is set correctly. You could also VO code it.

Is it possible to code your com box to use your phones internet connection to use in iDrive for BMW Live services?
