Wow! That's what I call Mastermind of the scene!
Tks.

Why would you ever want to when you can simply VO Code ECU with original FA to reset it?

Enlighten you on VO Coding? Sure. Scroll up to my Post #1417 where I explained it in great detail.

Sorry again for this lack of attention, these terms are all too strange to me.
In spite I am now able to do some coding, the truth is I do it without understanding very well what I'm doing. Should learn more about it...

Tks again for your support

Was successful in coding numerous items. Everything works, car runs fine.

But I now have a check engine light on. I think it appeared after coding the kombi.

How would I go about clearing the check engine light?

You can try to clear it with E-Sys:
  1. Click "External Applications" in the left menu.
  2. Click "External Application"
  3. Double-click "Transmitter"
  4. Scroll to the bottom and click "14 FF FF FF,31 01 0F 06,31 01 40 00 00,31 01 40 00 05,31 01 40 00 01;Clear all DTCs (clear DTC,clear Infospeicher,ZFS – DM_Lock,clear ZFS – DM_Clear,ZFS – DM_Unlock)"
  5. Click Connect
  6. Click Send

You can VO Code it if you like, but you will need 55.x PSdZData, and if you use original FA, it will not change one thing.

Ok, tks.
I'll give it a try, more to learn about it than to code.

Exclamation Help requested please and thank you

First crack at trying this on my 2015 BMW x3.
I'm stuck on finding out what programming version lines up with my car I believe they are called psdzfiles. Any help or links via pm would be great as all I got is the e-sys software downloaded. also is there a cheat sheet for my car? Your help is greatly appreciated!

You want to update your car to 55.x, so then it will have Trimmed CAFD files and become uncodeable?

Hey Shawn, a quick question. I coded some stuff on the NBT, and now my navigation is being weird. It only shows my car facing west, no matter how I am moving the arrow is always pointed west. I think it has to do with my trying to activate the x-drive display.

So to bring it back to default, I can just right click and press 'code'? That will bring it back to defaults right? I'm not really bothered about anything else coded on the nbt and don'd mind losing it.

No, thanks :-)

And what about the activation of Traffic RTTI (not TMC) on a X4 with integrated sim ?

I don't think so. 6UH RTTI and 6AM ARTTI are subscription services through BMW Assist.

Thanks! Also is it safe to code coasting, considering my cars build date is after 7/13 and I checked the gearbox part numbers and they are the same as mine for the LCI.

Ok, thanks for your answer shawnsheridan,

I'll wait for the BMW Connected Drive Store available in a few weeks in France.
