Yes, USB Video is possible then. Coding is on F30 Cheat sheet.

Guess I'm screwed. Anybody code in Iowa?

You will need 58.3. PM sent.

thank you sir.

Forgive me if this was already asked but if I have satellite radio option but it is XM Radio code and I want Sirius ( had it in my last vehicle so I still have time on my subscription) can this be coded.?

What do you mean? SiriusXM merged and is one company.

[vettr]

Yes but there are 2 types of radio code (at least in Canada) MY17 has a XM radio code, so when I went to transfer existing Subscription over I noticed Howard Stern Channels missing, I called they said my radio has XM radio code not Sirius and that packages are different and need to pay more etc..etc..
So I am assuming I need the radio to be coded for Sirius radio code so I can get same package. Maybe its a Sirius Canada thing not sure, as far as you know Shawn is there coding for XM vs. Sirius radio code.?

No Coding. What do you mean by "Code" though? I only know of the Radio ID needed to activate account. is this same thing?

[vettr]

Yes radio code, they are different for XM then Sirius, at least in Canada they are. No worries I will get dealer to work it out. Thanks for your time.

Hi guys,

Coming with some update regarding halogen to LCI Bi-xenon retrofit.

The new module came last week. I followed the instructions given by Shawn and injected the CAFD into it. Surprisingly everything worked on the first try...good.

Also after VO coding 522 into FRM the failure code "Hardware and software coding unplausibel" and "TMS LIN-Bus Failure" disapeared from INPA+ I'm able to measure voltage at the TMS FRM pins....so I know now that the new FRM is ok with XENON function (Sending picture of both old/new modules).

There is however other problem with TMS Modules (they are also new and not initialized). I cannot see them in ESYS and INPA is giving me two failures (left /right):

0x800FC3 Treiber-Modul Scheinwerfer (TMS) links: Kodierfehler oder timeout


Do you have some idea why I cannot see the modules in ESYS, or how can i solve the problem.....Could it be that the TMS modules have to be somehow initialized first?

Additional question: Can you see TMS module in ESYS as standalone module, or is it only submodul of FRM?

[happytreefriend]

Hi,

Small update:

There is subsection TMS in FRM FDL code. I will try to disable TMS_ID (if such value exist over there) in order to see the modules in ESYS. I heard also about using RHEINGOLD to initialize or re-flash the new TMS modules from different VIN/ Transport mode.

In case, somebody have some experience with that, please let me know.

Excellent guide can anyone direct me to a decent copy of the software pls?

Thanks

When coding the idrive for office on NBT you remove SL8Ax correct ? but once removed do you still code VO and if so what to? Surely if it's removed then there is nothing to code ?

[happytreefriend]

Hi all,

Proudly announce, my halogen to xenon retrofit succeeded.
(Front Headlights)

In case somebody will be interested more in detail on how to do it, let me know.

Shortly:

1) You need to buy original bmw headlights with xenon + TMS modules should be installed in the headlights.
2) You need to buy new FRM III Module even that the one you have in the car is also FRMIII (smart guys in bmw are saving money in case of factory halogen)
3) You need to do some wiring changes
4) VO Code 522 and write it in to the FRM Module (VO Coding with ESYS)
5) Connect the lights, you should be getting xenon + side marker (no Angel eyes)
6) In INPA you should be getting the failure code: TMS Module Coding Error or timeout...that means FRM sees the modules, but they are not initilaized.
In case you are getting LIN-Bus Failure, you should check your wiring again bcause the FRM cannot see the TMS Modules.
7) Run RHEINGOLD and perform service function.....software should direct you automaticaly and offer you the TMS Module initialization...after the initialization, you should be ok...with the front headlamps.....

For Shawn: Even after the TMS is initialized, it is not shown as ECU in ESYS..however there is FDL code fo TMS inside FRM ECU.

Still having some minor problems with brake lights and need to install LWR (auto headlight vertical regulation)...but this Im sure will be solved fast.

Hey guys, recently got a 2015 X3 28i XDrive, and my coding cable should arrive today. Thanks for all of the helpful tutorials so far, this will be my first time coding.

Could someone send me the software and info I need to download please?

Thanks! Glad to be back in a BMW after 5 years off, this is my fourth so far.
