You can modify FA and load in Coding module and VO Code with it. There is no requirement to write FA to car.

Hi shawnsheridan, didn't see a thread like this in g05 forums.

Trying to code in anti dazzle on my x5. Could I ask for the latest launcher files for FA coding?

In addition to that, there's someone who's figured out how to remove the exhaust burble neutering that was enforced in past few years only using coding. any ideas where to look for something like that?

Thanks and appreciate it!

Hi shawnsheridan and everyone!

I've run into a problem. Hoping you could help me out.
I had coded 'showing turn signals in HUD' and the LIM function on my F25 a while back. They were working fine.

A few days ago I VO coded the car (replaced 8KM with 8KP) and coded the DME and KOMBI. Now the LIM function info doesn't show up in the instrument cluster - even though the actual function works. The turn signal doesnt show in the HUD either, which I care less about. I’ve tried many things including the below to no avail.

KOMBI 3003 SLD_ENABLE aktiv
ICM 3000 C_SLD_Funktion aktiv
ICM 3000 C_Umschaltung_ACC_DCC zugelassen

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

8KM with 8KP are Oil Change Intervals. I have no idea why LIM / HUD Turn Signals would be impacted.

Hi all,

Newbie here with a 2013 X3 that I’m wanting to do some coding on…. Activate remote windows, Sport+, remove drive disclaimer etc.

I’ve read through the original posts and I’m confident on the cable that I’ll need (Ethernet), question I have is has anyone used a Mac to do coding with these cables? I only have a MacBook Pro with parallels installed so I have full windows functionality and I don’t have any issues with connecting to kit I use for work on the VM over USB, but I’ve never had to use Ethernet so I’m wondering if anyone has had any luck in the past?

Also, if there is an updated or recent idiots guide someone could send me that would be awesome thanks :-)

You can't use a VM. You need BootCamp or a Windows PC.

Hi shawnsheridan

Swapped out a fried HK amp in my 2019 M2C (F87) and need to code the new amp. I need all of the coding software such as E-Sys and the PSdZ/PSdZData. I'm also looking for a link for ISTA+ for something else I want to mess around with. Would you be able to help me out? I don't have any of the files require to be up and running for F-Series, my only experience is with some BimmerCode but the amp stuff doesn't seem to be supported there. I've seen you're the guy to talk to!

Thanks in advance man!

I have a quick question:

I'm planning to code rear PDC on a MINI F56. I've coded with e-sys before, so I'm familiar with the basics of the task (Add to VO, code modules etc). But, one bit that I've never done before, that I'll need to do for this job, is to inject CAFD into a module.

After some reading, I understand that the basics are:

Detect CAF for SWE > Select the CAFD

When selecting the CAFD, is it always the one at the bottom of the list (ie the latest one?).

Start with the bottom (newest one), and if it fails, work your way up trying older ones until one works. If none work, you will have to flash ECU.

New member and new (to me) pre-LCI N55 (dang you all and the acronyms!!).

Quick question since I just purchased BimmerUtility but I have not made it through all the posts across all the forums. With BU it states the registration is good for ONE device. Do you need multiple registered devices to use the cloud sync and flip between windows and android?

I see that a variety of other software is necessary for windows as well so this is also my humble request for help in locating those items.

No. One code can be used on one WINDOWS device, and one goigle/apple account. PM sent.

Thank you, as always.

Time for another question?
Still trying to decide if I should throw BU on my laptop and my phone so I can code from either, or my phone and a desktop so I can edit from the desktop and code from the phone. Happy to hear any advice you may have based on your experience.
