BMW coding is easier than you think. Full E-Sys coding guide, VO/FA coding. Part 2

Владимир, не очень понял один момент. например я решил переделать G30 японку под европу. сменил регион, кодирнул SALAPA нужными опциями все ок. затем решил поправить работу фар Adaptive LED чтобы светили по европейски. я поменял признак с JA92 на JA91 и закодировал обе фары. все работает. но вопрос по каким либо дальнейшим кодировкам. если у машины был изменен признак на JA91 то теперь кодируя какой либо блок в машине который не совместим с этим признаком может случится факап?)))

@BimmerDoc video is very great! I want to code on G12 Heated Steering wheel. I will add to VO option 248 and then as I know i need press code BDC_Body + HU. My other settings will not go away if i do this code? because car was USA and already has EU codings.

Hi, when coding with VO do you need full PSDZDATA or is lite enough ?

I’m having issue with my 2019 x7 after coding head unit settings I changed the software year to 2021 instead of keeping it on 2018 and now by screen is black. No one here knows about coding. BMW wants to replace the head unit and I have no warranty! Can you help me please sir??

thank u for what u giving r amazing i subscribed to ur channel and following all ur videos plzz can u make a video how to uses Esys when u change a damaged control module replacing it with a used1 with another chassis number thank u

How do you change the vehicle order date?

I NEED HELP! 😢 "My F30 had an M steering wheel with LDW vibrator but without heating. It got stolen, and I replaced it with an M steering wheel with both vibrator and heating. However, my vehicle doesn't have the heating button, and I don't want to install it. The LDW is now errored and deactivated, and the vibrator function is missing. It seems that the issue is because the new module has both heating and vibrator functions. So, if I understand correctly, with ESYS, I could configure it to indicate that the module is different, but nothing more, right? Because if I don't have the heating activation button, it would just mean indicating that the new module has heating, but I don't want to activate it."

Thank you for the awesome videos! This has helped immensely. I have a question about writing the FA:

In what situations is it absolutely necessary to write an updated FA to the car? I am curious because I initially found "Beginners Coding Guide.pdf" which has very similar steps, but it differs in that the guide asks you to load the FA xml and then Write FA FP under VCM. What is the functional difference here?

My assumption is that your method leaves the SA Options changed only in the FA file on the computer, whereas the other option permanently changes the FA options on the car itself. In either case you're still updating the individual modules using one of the FAs. is that correct? I'm assuming the latter is a bad idea in case you do not code the car correctly.

very good video

Thanks for these videos, really useful and well explained. I have a question. I have a mini F54 with classic led (5a2). I’m going to replace them by matrix led. So i need to change the VO to delete 5a2 and replace by the new option code, maybe also change the date for one corresponding for the new headlights. After that, i know that i have to read ÉCU and code the modules FLE. Another modules to code ? Thanks for your help !

How do you know which ECU to code? I changed my steering wheel from standard to M-Sport with shift paddles. The car gave me an error in SZL, so I coded 2TB and 710 in SZL, but the error remained. After that I coded all ECU‘s and the error is gone now, but you are warning people in this video that this is not the preferred way

This is great, taking some quality notes so far! My question is, if I inject 5A2 FA into a vehicle with 1114 Zeitkriterium. How would it know to operate it? considering 5A2 LED Headlights were manufactured post 2018.

After watching this video I suggest that you name it BMW Coding for super smarts people not dummies. I just look in google for list of BMW available options. There was no such a thing. what I found was options for buying BMW cars. I suggest if you making this video for the dummies like me then you should at least provide the internet address of where you can find BMW available option or where download launcher for E-sys program etc.

thank you

Nice Video!
I would like to retrofit option 5DV-RCP.

My G30 (2020) has following options available:
322-Comfort Access
2TE-Steptronic transmission with shift paddles
5DN-Parking Assistant Plus
3DS-Remote Display Key

Is it required to install additional Hardware, or only coding?

PS: My Remote Display Key has no additional Button for RCP on the right side. Can it be used for RCP or do I need to purchase another variant?

hello,i buy a enet cable with esys and connect to my car and dont know what i do and i deactivate my navigation,my car have headup unit change so want update the map but need the donor fsc car and dont know it,the problem is i deactivate my navigation,my VIN is WBA3D91000F099546,IF YOU CAN HELP ME TO TRACTIVATE MY NAVIGATION

Mannn, this tutorial is way too good. Vladimir breaks the stages down to the simplest bites any person to understand.

Владимир, благодарю за твои труды! Желаю тебе всех благ!!!

How to load saved FA back to car (here You showed only how to save it)? Does all FDL coding data comes back with saved FA (FDL coding were made before FA saving)? I coded ecu to factory using this video guide. Hope You will understand what I wanted to ask :D

It will be a good idea to do a video on retrofitting nbt evo on a 2015 car showing how to change the time criteria and VO

Thanks again Vladimir for a great video.
I have an nbt next and an Entry Nav on my 2014 and 2015 cars.
So if I change the time criteria to 0317 and VO from 606 to 609, I will have nbt evo and then I can buy car play from you.
Which ecu's will have to be coded

Hi, I recently flashed my F30 330i from ID4 to ID6. However, after the flashing, the steering become a lot heavier and the shifting of gears feel different as well, makes me dizzy while driving. Does you know why did this happen, did I miss anything during the flashing.

Super
Très bon tuto avec beaucoup d'explications et une très bonne pédagogie.
Je passe du codage de ma e39 au codage de ma nouvelle G30 et cela va beaucoup m'aider
Félicitation et un grand merci

Hey, so I can make easily from xdrive to sdrive and reverse just by changing SALAPA element by knowing right code for sdrive and xdrive? And of-course need to know what ecu need to be coded (press code button on each ECU)? I think it should be DME DSC and maybe EGS?

QUE BUENOS VIDEOS!!!!! HACE UN MES QUE ESTOY BUSCANDO INFORMACION DE ESTO.. LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR.. GRACIAS!!! :)

Just perfect, now i understand better. How can you upgrade the firmware of the retrofitted nbt-evo? That would be very interesting (fullscreen carplay ☺️)

Hello, i changed a headlight and need to code the new modules to my 1 series f20, how do i do this?

Excellent videos, really clear instructions and by far the best guides available on the net.

So what happens, if we try to code something, thats newer than car's set Time criterium?

Спасибо

Very nice video,
I would love a video how to code and program a second hand replacement module in a car,
Would that be the same?
Just code the FA to the specific module? Or requires extra steps like vin number

Hi Vladimir, could you direct us to the right source where we could purchase the ESys Plus and Launcher Pro (the right email of the Token Master) Thank you.

Do you know where the code for vehicle display in dashboard and head unit is? I have shadowline trime and beige interior but it doesn't show up on any of the displays anymore. just a regular chrome trim and default car

Thanks for all the input! Just had to replace an old EKPM. Is there any guide you could share on the easiest way to program it? Have both E-Sys and ISTA+ but a complete dummy with both. Only got to the point when both of them read the car specs.

why have you only got '151' comments, you should have at least,,,2 BILLION,,everyone should put a thumbs up and recommend your channel, Thank you for posting this AWESOME video,,the best on BMW's on the entire You Tube,,, please post more, Bless 🙂😇👍

Hi, thank you for the great work, I learned so much. Though, one point is still not clear. How haven't you lost connection to NBT EVO(which is 609) when you VO coded the car for adaptive lights? You mentioned everything would turn to the factory settings when VO coded.

You are a wizard.. I've watch many videos about coding the one thing, where they go through the menues quickly, but I never truely understood what they did or what the things actually do. Replicating the one thing is easy, but for the other things I wanted to code, there where no specific guides. I couldn't really grasp what the difference between the FA changes and specific changes in the code where, or what the loaded FA file actually means. With this video you helped me out a ton in understanding all that.

Great video thank you!
Do you know if there is a way to save a car profile for backup? I know that previous owner retrofitted a few things, can I save his VO setting now and upload it if something goes wrong to reset ti?

I wish i found this video earlier. I wanted to code enhanced BT in my bmw f30 but the head unit lost all Bluetooth connection and now I can no longer code it to the default settings… but you live and you learn. That was the first and last time I mess with E-Sys.

This will help me add 644 to my F11. Thank you so much !

Hello thanks bro for these amazing video but I didn’t understand why the professional navigation is 606 not 609 you replace it how did you code it then

Awesome possibilities. Have you tried Bimmercode and Protools? Do these tools only allow smaller coding tasks or the "expert" mode allows to modify all lines as in esys?

Thanks. I replaced second hand CIC bmw 740d 2011 f01 without Coding then camera not work who can support me?

Hello! Thanks for very well guide.
I got retrofitted SA609 (NBT EVO) from 606, but I've still got 606 in my options left by last person, who did retrofit.
Could you explain me why its not 609, and how it could harm my vehicle?
I've also seen your 606 -> 609 retrofit, but you changed 606 to 609 and didnt change it back on video.

Thanks for help!

Привет, классно объясняешь

Hi Vladimir, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful!
i have a question...
I have retrofitted on my Bmw F10 harman/kardon sound system from basic one and i need to code it myself, how can i find what code do i need to put in VA and i suppose that i have to go and code in the HU (Head Unit)
in the past i have retrofitted big screen CIC as my car from factory had small screen CIC. Someane else coded CIC when retrofitted.
When i will try to code my Harman Kardon am i gonna lose any coding that was needed for my CIC?
Regards.

Where can I check if feature like NBT EVO was available when car was produced. So you know to leave old code or put new code? in VO

Hi Vladimir! Thank you so much for your videos. I am just getting started and have used your videos to learn. I have of course also subbed ;-)

I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have swapped my steering wheel in my F01 to one that has paddles.

I have changed to active in SZL module, but it still doesn't work.

Also I don't have 205 in VO? I have read I should change this to 2TB.
Lastly, I don't have FEM-body?

What should I do from here?


Thank you very much!
