Indeed; HO-wort (wort = german for word) are not something usually discussed in coding getting started guides. However, in addition to FA SA codes (eg, 609 Professional Nav), these are available to enable or disable various functions. TM's NCD / CAFD tool (FA / FP Resource) is a good place to check available options:

I've had a look at the FA tree and the HO-Wort subtree is empty - is that normal?

Never having done anything with HO-Wort before, I'm being very cautious...

HO-Wort are not mandatory. Some cars come with them from factory, while others do not.

Hey Shawn,

Sent you a PM but my account is new so I'm not sure how limited I am with certain functionalities. Looking to code my car a bit and want to get the latest files of everything - and just ordered my cable. If you can't PM me, can you email me at zhoudaniell@gmail.com

I have a 2014 bmw x3

Thanks alot!

Thanks! I got the E-sys.rar, E-sys launcher premium 2.x, E-sys install instructions and the PSDZdata lite.

Do you by chance have the cheatsheet for functions as well - or should I just go back into the thread and find one of the older ones (assuming new ones haven't been added).

Also, I was on a website "bmw coding data base.", how legit is this to use? If I have a f25, what other chasis can I use for it?

Thanks!

BMW Coding Database is legit, although I don't use it myself. Not sure how accurate or comprehensive the Database is.

Awesome, thanks for this! a few quick questions and hopefully I can get going on my own:

- "speed in bc": is this the digital speedometer in the hub?
- side mirror camera disable at speed limit: is this actually useful for turning? I know that my side mirror cameras look down so I can park knowing how close the cars next me are (top view rear park functionality). Is there a way to mimic those vehicles that actually have a blind spot camera when turning (and activating it only when I'm say, turning right?)
- I didn't see this in the spreadsheet - do you have a list of codes to change the intro screen to something like the M sports one?
- Is there a code for full text message display, compass, rear view camera zoom, road route preview, or the ability to hack the "real time traffic" info so that it's not a paid service?

• Speed in BC - dash option. Button on turn signal stalk to cycle through options
• Personally think it is not useful. If you disable, then you have to manually toggle off.
• You can use Cheat Codes part of Launcher.
• Yes, yes, search trailer, yes, no

What is "hub"? BC is for Board Computer and it is the Display in the Instrument Cluster that is toggled with the BC Stalk on Steering Column.

I can't comment on Camera Speed Coding. Personally I have no use for it and do not bother with it.

For other Head Unit Codings, use the F30 Cheat Sheet included with E-Sys.rar package.

There is no "hacking" RTTI to get a paid service for Free.

Oh ok, so F30 stuff will also work on f25? any other chasis models?

And just to confirm, it seems like after reading throuhg a couple years worth of comments on here, that doing this doesn't really mess with the warranty or the ability to bring it into the dealership to get things fixed. There's no way that they'll see my vehicle, say "you custom coded this so we will no longer do any services to you car", correct?

Coding is ECU specific, not Chassis specific, and head units are common across all Chassis.

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.

What is "ECU"? and what is it getting bricked/how do I prevent it?

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.

ECU - Electronic Control Unit, aka "module". These are what you code. Bricking normally occurs during botched "programming", which is not actually coding but is flashing ECU with new firmware.

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.

Shawn,

Can you send me the link for everything I need to code a new 2017 X3?

Thank you
CER

• F20/F3x/F8x (use fem_body) cannot have HUD turnsignals, but can have LED door handles in reverse.
• F10/F25 (use FRM & CAS) can code HUD turn signals, but cannot have LED door handles in reverse
• Both may have HU_NBT and ICMQL

As shawnsheridan said, coding is ECU-specific.

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

[Nachbar]

Can someone help me please with this error. I need to code all back to standard, because I'm turning my car in tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

Great, excited to try this out tomorrow.

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.
