...

F30 uses F20 Target.

Thanks, also wanted to check if I can code older cars with my present psdz 54.1 and esys? By older cars I mean F series from maybe 2011 or 2012 which have never be reprogrammed by the dealer, so still running factory software.

Yes, it should not be an issue.

Is there any coding that can default the dash display (speedo / tach, time etc) to white rather than BMW Orange?

I have a 2014 X3, and have a difficult time seeing the orange as I have a bit of red-green color blindness.

akshay1234 · 02-20-2015, 08:31 AM

So I couldn't find the start stop memory settings in my car, nor the settings for the doorhandle LEDs to come on in reverse.

For the start stop memory I looked in FRM, like mentioned in F10 cheatsheets, and for the reverse handle LEDs too.

Where can I find them?

Also I activated the X drive display, but the compass doesn't work, and of the 3 values mentioned at the bottom only the 3rd one works while the other 2 show --.

Lastly is it safe to enable coasting, or were there hardware changes for it? I checked the part number of my gearbox on realoem, along with one of the newest production date and the part numbers were the same.

Hi Guys!

Long time waiting for the cable, but finally arrived.

I started the process, and after installation of <E-Sys Launcher Premium> program my antivirus software found a virus Trojan.Gen.2 and removed the <esyslauncher.exe> file.

Did this happened to any one else?

Is it possible that it has this malware? Got surprised and didn't know to do. Can someone advise what shall I do?

Tks in advance

It is not a virus, rather it is a false positive. If you are using 1.05 release, I think it has been fixed in 1.07 release.

Thank you very much Shawn for your prompt reply.
So, I can use the file safely, isn't it?
However is it possible to get the 1.0.7 version?

Can I use the same token to code another F11?

I still haven't started to code mine because now it's in the BMW for a warrantie complaint. They told me there are software updates for my 2012 F11 but it costs €115. I wonder, if the changes are worth it... Can someone tell me which they are?

They lend me a 2014 F11 with NBT software and I noticed major differences between this one and mine (CIC). Could the CIC updates be close to that one?

Thanks in advance!

You can code as many cars as you like with a single Token,

CIC can never look or act like NBT. Latest CIC Firmware won't provide any noticeable difference.

Tks Shawn!
Nevertheless I read somewhere in this thread that the new revision (I think v52.4) will accept coordinate input in the nav system. At least is this for sure?
How can I verify my F11's software version?

My car will be in the workshop till Monday.
Hope can see that on Tuesday. I'll revert again then. Tks

It's possible to revert to older versions? Is it possible to downgrade from 55.0?????

Most likely it is possible, but is is hard to know with certainty.

Please tell me the version and year of your bimmer and why you want to downgrade.
Tks

He wants to downgrade 55.0 to 54.1 as 55.0 isn't codeable due to BMW AG Trimming the PSdZData CAFD files in newer releases.

Tks Shawn!
And that's good to know. In that case, should I decide to update mine, I have to be careful not going to that one...
Regarding my I-Step Current information I was supposed to tell you, I’ll pick up my bimmer today from the workshop and hopefully later today I’ll post it.

Hi Shawn,
Got my F11 from workshop and the news are not good.
But first let me tell you what I got from VCM - see attached.

The bad news are that they told me they updated the software to v55 because of the new window lift they replaced - what a bad luck! So long waiting to code it and now this...

Nevertheless they told me it is possible to downgrade, but a special authorization needs to be requested - don't know very well what this means but I'm hoping to be successful.

What can you tell me?
Does my I-Step reading confirms it?

Yes, F010-15-03-501 = ISTA/P 2.55.0.
