All services are A La Carte so you only pay for the ones you want. They are reasonably priced and it worked like a champ. I know I sound like a commercial but I highly recommend them.

Here's a link: https://www.bimmer-tech.net/bmw-idrive-coding/

I liked the idea and found the website pretty user friendly. But I did not find any option of interest, particularly the Full Dynamic LED headlight enable. Options listed on the website seem very basic and did not seem worth the trouble.

That is because NGHB is not an idrive code.

On some coding posts it says to set the "werte" and others don't mention to set the "werte" (value) for the same coding function.

Example:
one post says for Close Trunk/Tailgate through button on FOB, code:
HKFM 3010 SCH_TOEHKI aktiv/werte=01
HKFM 3010 TASTER_FBD aktiv/werte=01

Another says just to do:
HKFM 3010 SCH_TOEHKI aktiv
HKFM 3010 TASTER_FBD aktiv

Which is correct? On some coding I've forgotten to code the werte, but the option worked!

Is the value just 00 for off and 01 for on!

Werte values are all that ultimately matters, but you can either change drop-downs or wertes. It is also not universal for values (eg 00 for nicht_aktiv).

Could I also get the links to the latest software please.

Also has anyone used Carley and if so how did it work for you.

Hi Guys,

I have managed to code single touch closing of the door wing mirrors, and also ebt with office enabled etc.

Thanks for providing the software and importantly the 'How to' documents. Great work

Cheers,

Andy

Can Blind Spot Detection (weak orange triangle light on external mirrors) be made to show up in HUD? 2017 F26.

PerryGunn · 03-04-2017, 03:06 AM

I wonder if one of the coding gurus such as Shawn or Almaretto could offer a little advice here...

We've just got our Dec 2016 F25 30d back from the dealers who had to replace a module due to an airbag light staying on

Before they had it in we could open the tailgate from the fob when the doors were locked - i.e. press the tailgate open button, all doors unlock and the tailgate opens - now we can't do this, we have to unlock the doors first and then press the tailgate open button

I've had a hunt but most of the coding posts deal with shutting the tailgate via the fob. I've checked the HKFM_LS Module and
3010SCH_FBD is set to aktiv
3010SCH_TOEHKI is set to aktiv
3010TASTER_FBD is set to aktiv

Thanks

Perry

Unless I missed appropriate FDL's, you would need separate hardware for desired function. Lane departure warning, yes; but, not blind spot detection can be done with CAFD_00000069.

Never heard of such an issue. Even the newer modules and firmware no longer require waiting for functionality to take affect. There are some parameters for deciding when trunk can be opened, but usually they are not restrictive from factory settings.

I am looking to code my '13 X3, can I get the links to the software and guides PM'd to me please? Thanks!

Thanks - it does seem a little odd, I know it's nothing to do with the keyfob because it can open tailgate OK as long as the doors are unlocked first.

I think the dealer must have done something when they coded the new airbag & telematics modules to the car

There is HO-word OENE Open Tailgate after unlocking

Thanks for that pointer - I've never looked at anything like that - is it as described in this thread (post 3 onwards)
https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh....php?p=8481753

but that has

Automatic trunk lid can be opened only when car is unlocked - add HO-Wort OENE, vo-code FEM/CAS/BDC
Automatic trunk lid can be opened while car is locked - add HO-Wort OEOE, vo-code FEM/CAS/BDC (not tested)

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:

Just curious if there is a good place that has an article or something that can give me a crash course on coding. There are a few things I would like to do on my X3, but its a bit daunting looking at this 99 page thread. Would love to find one place that can give me a run down on what to do and the process. I already have all the software, just don't know what to do with it.

Where do you get your software from as normally E-Sys is packaged with all the DIY Coding Guides?

Merlin82 · 03-09-2017, 10:21 AM

Downloaded all the links you provided me, just have to install it on my laptop. And still need to buy an enet cable.

Ok, then you have all the DIY Guides in the E-Sys.rar package.
