I hate question of "legality" of Coding. I am convinced it is legal, but I didn't go to Law School, and I am not going to make any assurance that some dealer somewhere is not going to take issue with it and try and create problems. I only know it is rampant, and I never hear of problems, except in very rare cases where an individual has actually bricked an ECU.

For someone new to this, I see cheatsheets for f10, 15, 22, 25, 30, 36 and 56. Which one of these should I proceed with for my specific vehicle? Sounds liek 25/30 are the common ones I should be looking at. |

If you want to code an ECU, say HU_NBT (Head Unit) for example, you can use any Cheat Sheet that has that same ECU on it.

No, you cannot send or receive PM's yet. Send me one when you can.

Couple of questions: - How do I "backup" the default settings now in case I screw something up and need to restore it to the current version? - I ran through the sofware setup for practicebut haven't done the actual coding since my cable doesn't get in until tomorrow - Is there a video or something to show what the process is like when the actual coding happens? - I'm still a bit confused on the whole "ECU" specific vs chasis specific thing, anyway that you can expand? Almaretto Would appreciate any input if you have it, definitely appreciate both of your recommendations so far! |

Looks like loss of Power or Cable interruption.

Guides include pictoral step-by-step procedures. Coding is hardware specific. This relates to available vehicle packages, headlamps, and individual ECU's. So, do not go looking for Fem_Body in an X3 as well as do not use codes meant for an F8x with Xenons on an F25 with Adaptive LED's. |

I don't know what is confusing about ""ECU" specific vs Chassis specific". As an example, since NBT Head Unit ECU can be found installed in any Chassis (F30, F10, F15, etc.), you can use the Cheat Sheet for any chassis, and use it to code NBT ECU in any other chassis that has same ECU. Conversely, since FEM_BODY exists only in F2x/F3x chassis, you would not find it on F10 Cheat Sheet.

For the pictorial step by step, you're talking about the guides within the E-sys documents correct? The hardware specific thing makes sense to me. Is there a way to know something like, "fem_body" doesn't exist in a x3 or etc..? Still trying to learn all the lingo. I guess the better question would be, if I code something that where the hardware doesn't exist, it just won't do anything right? Want to confirm that it wouldn't corrupt anythying else. |

Well, you can see from one Chassis Cheat Sheet to another what ECU's are common to both.

Yes, PDF's. For additional guides, tips, & acronyms, see this thread: Fxx, Ixx, & Gxx Series Coding: Latest Software, Guides, and Tips One way to know ECU's by chassis: E-sys_CAFD_ID's_P3.59_v8.1F.pdf If you look at top of CAFD, you will see FP (Vehicle Profile section): View post on imgur.com |

Should I be doing something prior to going straight to coding in expert mode? Do I need to do a reset somehow for the car? So far I've coded the auto unlock via engine shut down and the fob close everything functions, but they haven't work. shawnsheridan if you have any input. |
