Pro Launcher will sync. Premium, you must download.

Manual Method:
  1. Go Here.
  2. Individually select Author.xml (eg, Almaretto.xml)
  3. Open corresponding authors *.xml's [C:\Program Files (x86)\TokenMaster\E-Sys Launcher Premium\FDLCodes] in text editor (eg, Notepad++) & paste (replacing existing text) & save.
  4. Right click *.xml & open with IE to verify you copied correctly (it will display similar to text editor if right)

Got it, I do actually have the premium version. Do I just download to my desktop and it'll automatically sync? Or do I need to open it specifically from the app?

Tried to code the trunk open and close via fob, but when I entered the module it gave me an error and I couldn't get into it. Any ideas?

PM sent. Replacing Kombi is a bit more than basic coding though, especially if it is not same Kombi as original Kombi, and if replacement Kombi is Used and not new. Good luck with it.

Morning guys.

Last week I dropped the Beemer Laptop and destroyed the hard drive. I had in there a working copy of e-sys (i believe) and Ista+. I was able to read faults and clear them, and i ventured into coding my X3. So far so good.

Well here I am trying to rebuild the laptop , this time with an SSD drive that I can toss around :mad0260:

ISTA+ is able to communicate with the car via my ENET cable. Can read the faults but when is time to clear them the following error displays:

Do you guys know what is missing? I do not have E-Sys on this laptop, and I just finished downloading the PSDZdata_full file (over 100GB)

Thanks so much for your help!

You need to disable programming in ISTA+. Set programming and expert mode to false in registry. Then, you will not get that error.

Hey Almaretto thanks for the tip!.
A quick google search produced the registry values that you suggested. Found them and changed the value.
Too late for testing today, tomorrow will check it out
Thanks!

Note, it registry may also need modifying to indicate data_swi location. But, programming requires ICOM. You can still diagnose with ENET.

I'm looking to change my 6" screen to the 8" HD screen. Does anyone know if I'll need to code the car to communicate with the new screen ? I'm not looking to add navigation, just want the bigger screen. Also wouldn't mind a reverse camera.

Thank you !

So far so good. The error still displays but now the program continues and I was able to put the parking brakes in shop mode and return them to normal mode.

Question: the ISTA+ window is very small. Where do we change the size, if possible?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response, was out of town.

When I try to read the HKFM_LS module, I get an error that says

"File for cafd_000007c8-007_001_023_ not found!"

pretty much won't let me read it and open it so I can recode.

Is it possible to transfer video files from a USB onto the harddrive directly? I though I enabled a code to allow this, but didn't see the option to actually transfer the file after I opened the video.
