Coding made easy: Step by step instructions for Fxx Series

Coding is for people who want to play with the settings of BMW car software to achieve something more desirable. Coding is not really a programming; it is another name for re-configuring the software of your car. There are limited risks of messing up with your car SW but if you are careful, follow step by step instructions and know and understand what you are doing, it may be OK to go ahead. Never try to guess and do it, be absolutely sure for your steps, clarify your doubts before you proceed. There are experts on the forum who are willing to help you, don't hesitate to ask even a silliest question. Never-the-less, if you want to try new unknown settings which others have not tried, believe me, you are playing with fire.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY.

What is needed for coding:


ENET cable
E-Sys software 3.26.1 with EST token and Pin
psdzdata 54.2
A dedicated laptop with Windows 7 with minimum 16 GB of free space
Backup utility for CAF files (optional), file attached
Useful Cheat Sheet for Fxx, file for F25 attached, others are available in different forums


Prepare your setup:

You can build your own cable or buy from a good source. Use shielded cables only. Cable should be reliable as interruption and electrical noise interference of any kind during coding could be very risky.

Delete unwanted SW and data from your laptop. It may be worthwhile to de-fragment your HD of laptop before installing the coding software as this software will [...]

Hi! First of all many thanks for this awesome thread.

I'm trying to code M brakes on my 2018 F32, connection works fine but as soon as I try to activate FA I receive the following error:

No FP could be generated from FA "". [C002]
no FA2FP known for Entwicklungsbaureihe F032 [858]


Using ESys 3.27.1 and pszdata 4.55.11, I made sure pszdata is correctly at C:/Data and swe on its folder, I have 0 clue how to fix this..

Any help would be more than welcome, thanks in advance!

Hey thanks for quick reply!

You mean if this car FA was ever modified before?
If so, no, never, it's fully original. I just connected, read and save order and then tried to activate FA, but received the above mentioned error

Need newer E-Sys for 4.55.11 psdzdata. And for VO Coding, use just E-Sys, no LauncherPRO.

What version of E-Sys do I need? I couldn't find anything newer than 3.27.1 (without purchasing)
Otherwise, what psdzdata version could I use that's suitable for M brakes coding on my car?

If you could PM me the proper E-Sys and psdzdata to use I would appreciate it so much :) - 430i F32 LCI 2018

Hello friends. I want to retrofit the 6wa cluster with a full screen at the bottom, I have the medium screen on my car. Can you help me with the correct steps? I mention that I am at the beginning of the coding journey. I have psdzdata 4.55.11 full and e-sys 3.27.1, which I don't think is ok.
The car is a 2013 f25.

What e-sys do I need and what are the steps to follow?

Thank you and sorry for any mistakes.

Use E-Sys 3.40.2 or higher and latest 4.55.41 psdzdata.

Add 6WA to FA, load modified FA, inject CAFD into KOMBI, and VO Code KOMBI then Head Unit.

I have a new laptop so went through the process of installing E-Sys again but I can't find whatever token file I had before. Last time I installed was 2022 so I really don't remember much about the details.

I have seen that I need to obtain a token seperately and also that it's generated on my local machine. Coinfused, can someone tell me what I need to do?

E-Sys beginning with Version 3.34.0 no longer requires an .est Token, although a CAFD Mapping solution is still needed for use with PSdZData since 54.2, with BimmerUtility Application containing the latest mapping.

Hello Shawn, i have a 2019 G01 X3 from the United Stated and the main issue is that the car cannot connect to internet so I don`t have ConnectedDrive available and the phone link, which is fine, not a big issue. Is there any way to change like the region on the headunit so I can use it in Europe, I`m acutally in Romania.

And the second problem is that I want to have Apple CarPlay in fullscreen mode, I tried with BimmerCode and i get the white screen on the right side, from my understanding so far, I need to update the firmware of the head unit, can you help me with that or what are my options to get CarPlay in fullscreen mode?

Hey Shawn,
Thank you for posting this. Can you please dm me a copy of e-sys and Ista. Having trouble finishing a copy.

Has anyone figured out how to increase the HP/TQ numbers in sports display? Typically MHD increases them when u flash a tune. For some reason it’s failing to change the values. I’ve tried reflashing multiple time.

Car can have Europe conversion. Full screen depends on firmware versions. Your PM function is disabled. Send one when enabled.
