All Guides are included in E-Sys package.

Coding has no impact on Map.

Shawn,
Would you please send me a PM with details on obtaining the software and data for coding my 2015 F25?

Regards

Is it possible to use coding to make the rain sensor and cruise control be on by default? I don't like having to turn them on all the time.

No, not possible.

Does anyone know if mirrors fold on long-press of the lock button in Canadian X3s?

... 10 weeks to go until I get mine ...

romanonj · 01-21-2015, 06:49 AM

Please pm info.. I am interested,, thanks shawn

pr0gi · 01-21-2015, 10:52 AM

is it possible to turn on the tail lights while on daytime lights on the X4? I like this on my 7-series. To me it looks more like a finished product. I've heard all cars produced after 2010 have only their angel eyes on.

Only if you code it to do so.

Actually, it began in 2012. My 2011 F10 has front and rear DRL's from factory.

Look in X4 lighting module (FRM or FEM or BDC, whatever X4 has) for DRL_MODUS and set it to to tfl_s for Europe front and rear DRL's.

Hi Shawn,
Would you PM me the links to software?
Thanks,

Hi together,

yesterday I tried to code my headunit (Navigation Business) from "Stereo" to "Hifi" to get a flat EQ-curve without a boost of the high frequencies (treble).

I just did FDL coding (FA was not changed) and set "HU_CICHB" ==> "AUDIO_SYSTEM_CIC" to value "02" (="Hifi") using this instruction:
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...2&d=1338274757

The coding was successful but I think the EQ-curve did not change (sound is like before). Maybe I have to change more Parameters than "AUDIO_SYSTEM_CIC" to enable "Hifi"-EQ setting.

Is it possible to add the option "676" (="Hifi" sound system) to the FA and let
E-Sys show which parameters in which ECUs have to be changed to enable this option?

thanks for your help!

I don't think your Head Unit has a built in Equalizer function, so I do not see how any coding is going to affect the Frequency curve.

piercy84 · 01-22-2015, 06:13 AM

you are right: there is no EQ function available for the user.
But the headunit has 2 fix presets:

Standard-Preset: high frequencies are boosted to compensate the missing tweeters (cars without option S676 "BMW Hifi" only have midrange speakers mounted in the doors and subwoofers mounted under the seats)
Hifi-Preset: high frequencies are not boosted (because cars with option S676 "BMW Hifi" have additional tweeters)

The parameter "AUDIO_SYSTEM_CIC" defines wich preset is used.
By the way: my car is F20 (build date: May 2014) with BMW Standard Hifi (no tweeters). I want to put in some aftermarket tweeters.
Therefor the Preset of the headunit should be switched to "Hifi-Preset" .

Can I get the link to the software and enet cable schematics please? I just got my X3 yesterday and removed the stupid phone cradle from armrest on the same day, now off to fix other issues

piercy84 · 01-23-2015, 12:46 PM

Can somebody help me with my problem:
Is it possible to add an option to the FA (SALAP) and let
E-Sys show which parameters in which ECUs have to be changed to enable this option?

thanks,
Thomas

ENET cable can be found for under $20. Makes little sense to build one.

E-Sys will not show you, but, you can FA Code car afterwards, and it will make all the needed changes for you.

And then if you had to know what specifically was changed, you could easily compare the before and after FA Coding values.
