Hi,

I'm trying to workout if I can enable TPMS on my 2016 F26 X4 35d?

Did your X3 always show the RDC ECU within E-Sys?

My E-Sys list of ECU's doesn't display a RDC entry.

So the RDC module on my 2011 X3 (F25) died and I bought a used RDC module from a 2016 X3.

The "TPMS Malfunction" warning still came up after I replaced the module so I figured it needed to be flashed or coded.

I looked into using ISTA-P to "Program" it or Esys to "Flash" it. However, due to the Integration Level being too old, the Program or Flashing will need to update multiple ECUs and potentially update the I Level (which I can't do since I don't have a 70A battery maintainer).

After some research I found some directions about "coding" the RDC module. This worked out for my replacement part as it already has software on it but just missing a CAFD file.

So I followed and updated the instructions below using Esys and everything worked out fine. Hope this help others who have the same problem.


Once connected : -

Expert Mode-Coding

Read FA

Activate FA

Read SVT

Select "Complete Flash" and then choose the I-Level for "Shipment"

Select the 'RDC' ECU

Detect CAFD for SWE (you will see a list of compatible CAFDs)

Choose the CAFD you want (since they are all the same, I chose the latest one)

Click Code

DONE
