Car can have Europe conversion. Full screen depends on firmware versions. Your PM function is disabled. Send one when enabled.
Unfortunately, I`m not able to send PMs now as i`m no allowed. My version is NBTevo_R19144l. How can I do the conversion so I can use ConnectedDrive. Do you have any other method of speaking with you? Instagram maybe or something like that. I can leave you mine.

By Europe Conversoin, I meant Navigation, Language, etc., not ConnectedDrive. ConnectedDrive is function of SIM Card being supported in your country. You can always leave message for me on Bimmerfest.

Thank you very much for the sharing. It’s clear that a lot of time and effort went into it. I recently bought my car and while researching battery replacement I found this forum and became a member. I have ISTA+ 2.39.20, but I don’t have any coding software. Is there a place on the forum where I can find it?
By the way, my car is a 2016 X3 20i sDrive.

Yes, I meant 4.39.20 😇. Thank you very much. I also installed E-Sys yesterday, I think it was version 2.8.0.
I haven’t tried either of them on my car yet. Honestly, I’m a bit nervous about using them. I’m going to disable the start-stop feature. Is there a guide on the forum for my car?

PM sent. You can't disable it, but you can set it to Default to the off position or remember Last position by FDL Coding one of these:

CAS => TC_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF (or TCM_MSA_DEFAULT_OFF) = aktiv

CAS => TC_MSA_MEMORY (or TCM_MSA_MEMORY) = aktiv

Happy New Year! Just added a F25 X3 to the stable and am looking to start coding on F-chassis (well versed in E-chassis) Can someone push me a link to the latest E-SYS and whatever else I'll need to get up and running? I'm looking to do a HK retrofit so I'll need to be able to FO code. I really appreciate it.

Also, are there any concerns having E-sys installed on the same laptop as INPA/ISTA? I still need to have access to code my e92 335is. I was able to connect to my X3 using the ENET cable I got and don't mind changing a few settings as i go back and forth.

Thanks again!

Hi, could you please send me a link to the e-sys that supports v4.57.12_PSdZData? I can't find the full version anywhere (maybe 3.40.2?), and I need to update HU-NBT in my F10 LCI, because i have a problem with unstable bluetooth. Thank you very much.

I have an 2014 X3 LCI. I've replaced the headlight and I'm having issues with it (no high beam etc). I've used ISTA to teach in, but no luck, fails. I've been told I need to code/program in the headlight? I can't see this option on my ISTA under programming.

integr actual level f025-17-03-505 and integr level target f025-21-03-520..
Ista 4.26

anyone able to advise what it's called / under in programming?

cheers (and sorry if in wrong topic)

When you Program and ECU, you Encode it (VO COde) as part of the Programming Process.

You should do this with E-Sys, and then use ISTA only for Teach In.

Thanks for your reply Shawn. Forgive my for my ignorance on this....

With e-sys, do I need to go into the VO section to make any adjustments first, or can you go to the headlight module / TMS and then click code?

Is there any good guides on how to do this? Is there a specific version of e-sys I should use?

Sorry for the questions, and thank you for any additional advice.

Much appreciated 🙏

E-Sys - Flashing Guide v.1.0.1.pdf:
https://mega.nz/#!p9JQhAwZ!JJ9ptw8Titz8tZbLobnZ61g5uAJjkJcnSUvG81nYMsw

Understand that for a non factory fitted ECU, its I-Step Shipment is most likely not the same as the car's I-Step Shipment. The correct I-Step Shipment is one where the ECU being flashed has HWEL in svt_soll that is Black, not Red / Blue.

So after you calculate SVT Target (SVT_soll), check the box that says "HW-IDs from SVTactual" and then Save it. If HWEL is Black only, no Red / Blue HWEL, then you can proceed to flash it.

Is it necessary to update ECU? The headlight is a replacement (not a retrofit etc). If the shipment and act i-step is different, and initially showing as blue, is that a problem? can I still do the VO / Code?
(Sorry again for the questions, being in IT for 14 years I thought i'd have some understanding, but this is new :help:)

Maybe not. If you can inject CAFD and VO Code it, then you can skip Flashing it:

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read (ECU) => Left-Click on desired ECU => Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level shown (bottom one) => Select OK => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.
