Is there any definitive answer as to whether or not making coding tweaks (e.g. to display tyre pressures) would void the cars warranty?

Coding only changes the parametric values. Unless it can be proved that a particular setting has stressed the car beyond it limits, in my opinion it's safe to do it. Also these are reversible changes.
Displaying the tire pressures on the screen is just ok as BMW has already made provision for that. If one is changing the torque-speed characterics of the engine (I don't know how to do it), it may be of a concern. This question has been asked again and again and different people have responded with different opinions. You are the best judge for the coding changes and its effect on the car. |

New here, but would love to buy a cable April or Sean (I can't tell who's still selling them, but certainly want to support the folks making this information possible and keeping it current!). It's not that I don't trust myself with a soldering iron, or a resistor, or a crimp tool. It's that I don't trust myself when I have to do all three and plug the results into my $50k car. I'm also a little impatient and want to get to geeking on this stuff as soon as I can.
My address is davethenerd at that google mail thing that they've had for years. I suppose I also should request download links to the appropriate files that aren't entirely easy to find. Thanks, all, for everything you do here! |

Brilliant. Thank you! And my apologies for misspelling your name, Shawn. You'd think after reading through all 26 pages of this I wouldn't have made that mistake!

No problem Dave.

Which version of E-Sys do I really need?
Ok, I'm going to ask something here that may be a mistake. My apologies if it is. I have a 2011 X3 (F25) x35i that I want to code and have ordered a cable from April1.
Does it matter if I use E-Sys 3.18.4 v47.5 versus E-Sys 3.22.5? Do I need PSdZdata 49.1 (which I understand likely doesn't work with 3.18.4). I realize E-Sys 3.22.5 will (likely?) require the purchase of a token (perhaps the former does, too? I'm still downloading and am unclear on that because I haven't gone through the setup process). Obviously if paying for the token is part of this process then... so be it. But I just saw no reference to that anywhere in this long thread, so... again, maybe I'm asking a question publicly that shouldn't be asked. Mea culpa? Help? [Edit: I did just have the vehicle in for service yesterday due where they did a CAS software update for recall B61 38 12 if that matters]

I didn't want to deal with different versions of anything so it was well worth getting it all from the same place to me. It says on the About screen it is E-Sys Version 3.18.4. |

Me too. I went with what April1 provided and was able to code everything.

The PSdZData version you use to code the car must be >= than the last version of ISTA/P used to program the car. The application of SIB 61 38 12 most certainly had the dealer reprogram your car with current ISTA/P, which will be either 2.49.1, or 2.49.2 depending on if they updated their ISIS server in the last few days. The last version of PSdZData working with E-Sys 3.18.4 and "Free" EST Token for F25 Chassis is 48.3, which you will not be able to use. You will need 49.x PSdZData, which in turns necessitates newer E-Sys with Token.

Thanks, Shawn. Now I suppose I hope they only put 49.1 on there, otherwise I'm out of luck until 49.2 is made available to folks like me.

49.2 is available. Only one new CAFD was added, so I don't think this will be an issue. If you need it, it most likely can be added to your existing 49.1 CAFD library.
