I find it strange when function parameters are present, but do not work. But, somethings are controlled on a deeper level by firmware.

It is just one of those things, where only BMW knows why, like only HU_CIC gets weatherband and F10/F25 can have automatic HBA. But, at least HUD blinkers work.

Yeah, but that is just how it has been since 2010, and no F1x/F25 can change the number of blinks.

SiriusXM Album Artwork

I have an F25 with a 2015-01-12 production date with 609 and 655. Is there a flash to add Album Artwork to SiriusXM? I have station artwork. Thanks.

Only way to get is with hardware change to HU_NBT2.

I just got the cable, but no software. Any where I can download the proper software? Mine is 2014 x3.

Thanks.

Hey guys, ok, dumb question I'm sure for you experts rather than reading 2000 posts...

For coding, is going the route suggested in this thread the same basically as getting a Carly adapter and app? Are there advantages going with a cable over the Carly setup? Cost? More features?

Thanks for the help!

OP, much like most on various forums, is outdated.

Coding with E-sys will only cost you $3-20 for an ENET. E-sys gives you complete control and can do everything Carly can and much more.

Carly adapter will cost $45-70. Then you must buy Pro App. Then additional cost to unlock more functions. Carly is regularly releasing updates, but not all options are available.

Disclaimer: I only use E-sys and ENET.

Thanks for the info. How user friendly is the E-sys software though for coding? I bought for my E90 a K cable and the associated INPA software a couple of years ago, and never got around to installing it on my laptop and taking the time to learn it, whereas with the Carly, it looks as easy as an iPhone app to use...

How many hours of playing around would I have to put in to learn how to code the manual way and how the software works?

It is a lot more user friendly than software to code E-series, but not as simple as Carly. Carly is just a matter of selecting option choices.

Hours needed depend on your computer learning curve. E-sys is using Launcher built-in Cheat Codes to select options or following spreadsheets and changing drop-down menus. I put together a one page summary guide that references more detailed 9 page step-by-step tutorials with pictures.

Hi, I went to the BMW coding database website, and saw there's an EXE file to download. That's a program or a cheatsheet? I don't want to launch an EXE file on my work PC, if I'm not sure what it will do...

The only cheatsheet I've found so far is the PDF I've Attached below called "F30 Coding Reference Guide".

I can figure out computer stuff fairly easily - as long as we're not talking literally writing code - but still, this sounds like your average user will need to spend a few hours to learn the software, right?

Vs. like half an hour to play with and learn Carly?

This is a screenshot of what I thought is the software, And I have to figure out how to get around it, is that right?

PM'd Software, Guides, and Cheat Sheets.

BMW Coding Database is an exe, but you can also export an excel CSV file. It has three main functions: 1) Ability to search for codes. You can search any column as well as filter results by ECU or chassis; 2) New Codes can be submitted. If system is online, it can sync and update database; 3) You can create vehicle profile and copy over rows to track changes. The optional program is only used indirectly as E-sys will do the "coding."



Coding is a misnomer as you are only changing drop-down menus. Using your example...

I can use Built in Cheat Codes:



Review & Apply Selection:



Alternatively, use BMW Coding Database, PDF, or Excel Spreadsheet to find function parameters. I can search "Video_Speedlock," right click menu item to edit:



Select "New Value"



Once I have complete all coding in modules, I save and upload to vehicle using "Code FDL" button.

All of this is explained in guides.

I can't, apparently.

I'm using what I believe to be the most recent versions of all the applicable software, but I've never been able to get anything to show up in the Cheat Codes area. I do seem to be able to do FDL coding without much difficulty.

I wonder if this is because the car is a 2017 with NBT2?

Cheat Codes are a part of Launcher. Latest available is Premium 2.6.2 & Pro 2.6.3. There are codes for NBT2.

Yep.

My issue is that the Cheat Codes panel in Launcher Premium 2.4.3 is blank.

I'll go ahead and try a version upgrade.

PM'd links in case you need them. Launcher and NCD / CAFD tool links never change.

That did work. Even though I was using a Launcher version that was supposed to have cheat codes, uninstalling everything and installing updated versions of everything worked.

Now I just need to get DVD in motion and anti-dazzle headlights working. Those are still defeating me.
