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
Following your videos, I did my first FA coding today I retrofitted High FZD to add alarm To be honest it didn’t allow me to do coding first as the code option was grayed out but your videos gave me courage to look around; I don’t know exactly how, but I managed to code it😅 Thanks for your efforts Would you please make a video about coding donor parts
20:50 You explained that when FA is changed it is not recommended to code all ECUs, just single ECUs. I agree with you! But how do you know which ECUs are affected by a change in the FA in order to code only these?
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 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
Can u may share your Cheat Sheet? I was not able to find a accurate one for my G30. I am very unsure after editing the FA because i never know how many and witch ECU I should code to get things work.
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 absolutely right, but FEM ECU does not care what headunit is installed. Because all headunits are at the same diagnostic address x63 and FEM just receives information from HU. That’s why I was still able to see Evo 😉

Watched all three parts and i must say your videos are really helpful! I have a question though regarding ATM Retrofit over old TCB in f20 with zeitkriterium 1611. Do i need to code the ATM or just connect it and it will work?

Dear Vladimir. Thank you for your video, it's really helpful. I have a question, if we code 2TB instead of 205, how do we recognise which modules should be coded?
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?
@@BimDoc Is it possible/reasonable, that some lines are missing? I'm trying to choose a simple software solution for BMW i3, to remove traffic jam assist TJA "motorway only" limitation, but some forum users say that coding line is missing in BimmerCode (makes no sense to me as expert mode should just read all the lines with no filters). As far as I searched i-series vehicles have exceptionally bad cheat sheets. This is why I consider BimmerCode.

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.
@@BimDoc thanks for this! I attempted to do this, but after hitting CODE on the BDC Body, it does the coding, no errors, but when I check again nothing was coded! what could be the reason?
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!
Thank you so much for this video. A question: why didn't you write FA and FP to VCM before moving to Coding? Is it a necessary step? I'm a bit confused. Thanks in advance!
Because not always you need to do it. It will affect future codings (because modified FA will be saved into the vehicle). So it’s up to you to write it or not. Some FA changes are NOT ALLOWED to be permanently saved into the vehicle. You will create a huge mess there 😉
Help me understand this VO/FA coding. Does it change car state in a way it knows it has ie. Xenon Adaptive lights or this procedure is to trick the car it has adaptive xenons so you code just some modules, but car is still not aware of if (factory state)? In a situation, I actually add adaptive xenons to my car (ie. replace halogens with adaptive xenons) I use VO/FA coding for this? If yes, how you know which modules require re-coding? How you know KOMBI doesn't require coding when retrofitting something to a car?
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
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 !
You are thinking in a right direction! Don’t forget to check wiring (might be different on 5A2 and 552) Also chassis positioning sensors (front and rear axle)
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
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.
Hello! In your video person didn’t change FA from 606 to 609 then how they managed to make nbtevo work properly? And one more question, if I would like to activate sport transmition I changed FA (to 2TB) and after it I have to coding what ECU? I don’t have steering shifters.
So if you change the timeCriteria to a date later than your vehicle was manufactured, does that mean you get backwards compatibility with all previous modules? Is this safe to do in all cases?
БМВ Х6 Ф16 2016г. На NBT (не EVO) не активна функция "передача данных по блютуз", чтобы использовать телефон как модем через блютуз.

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?
Владимир, здравствуйте! Собираюсь купить BMW g20 из Кореи, но там нет русского языка. Как его закодировать правильно? - просто добавить в комплектацию S6UD и S8LR? кодировать сразу все блоки, или выборочно? Или там другой алгоритм?
If the production date is changed for a retrofit, and another module has changed during that changed period of time, is it worth changing the production date to the original one after coding? For example, if the FEM module has been changed to a newer version at the factory over a period of time and you still have the old module in the car. You update the FEM module software, so the wrong software goes inside the module?
Car production date istep shipment should always remain the same in the car. Changing it is allowed only temporarily for retrofits. I suggest not to mess with I-step shipment
@@BimDoc I mean the Zeitkriterium change, not the istep shipment level. So is it possible to update the module's software incorrectly if I have changed the Zeitkriterium number to a newer one? Your videos are great 👍.
Привет,помоги решить проблему,не работает система смены полосы движения,ошибок по этому модулю нет,нажимаешь кнопку пишет,что система активна на скорости от 50 км/ч,но ничего не происходит!
Попробуйте включить ее на скорости выше 50 кмч. Если не помогает и все равно нет ошибок то перекодируйте модуль в сток. Может кто игрался с кодировками.
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
Hello Vladimir, thanks for Your very good videos about esys. Can You also show how to write the fa and do fdl coding after this to let vehicle updateable for Ista+/p. The way You showed is without the step of writing FA in memory module. Maybe You can make a extra Video about the FA writing and then coding and prepare fdl for it and compare to code without writing (pro/cons). Thank You for your great Videos

Touching on the headunit topic here, mine was a basic EntryNav 6” display and changed to 12” android display but the screen just won’t go to wide screen and if I coded to split screen the right side was just blacked out. I had no choice but just view my screen on half left.
@@BimDoc The android settings matches what the resolution I have set. If the res set to 800x480 and android setting 1280x480 it’ll become a stretch screen. If match 1280x480 both coding and android settings ; right side screen will blacked out. Initially I kept arguing to seller for months and ask them to resolve this but end up they say it is what it is.
@@BimDoc I have to come back and do a closure. Finally I got it to full screen. Using e-sys and BU launcher to edit ncd. Because my e-sys files are all dots. Many thanks to you for this guide. I can’t believe it. It’s only 2 things to code. Display resolution and display variante. While bimmercode and BU can’t make this work. Thanks again!
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
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?

In a situation, I actually add adaptive xenons to my car (ie. replace halogens with adaptive xenons) I use VO/FA coding for this? If yes, how you know which modules require re-coding? How you know KOMBI doesn't require coding when retrofitting something to a car?
It all comes with experience. There are some utilities that can help to calculate ECUs needed to be coded as well.
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
That will be definitely one of the esys for dummies parts.
Спасибо Владимир. БМВ хитрая машинка.
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 !
You are thinking in a right direction!
Don’t forget to check wiring (might be different on 5A2 and 552)
Also chassis positioning sensors (front and rear axle)
Respect
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
You are absolutely right
Code:
Kombi
NBT
ATM
ZBE
Should be enough for beginning
Thanks for the very quick reply.
Do I also have to replace the hardware, i.e. the head unit module and screen
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.
See video about SZL replacement. Procedure is the same
Very useful video
Glad you think so!
Hello! In your video person didn’t change FA from 606 to 609 then how they managed to make nbtevo work properly?
And one more question, if I would like to activate sport transmition I changed FA (to 2TB) and after it I have to coding what ECU? I don’t have steering shifters.
For retrofits you need to modify FA and code ECUs with that. But you don’t save it into your car.
For sport tranny code EGS ICM KOMBI
@@BimDoc I watched your video with retrofit 6WB, you saved FA with 6WB into your car. Why with 606 to 609 it doesn’t necessary?
So if you change the timeCriteria to a date later than your vehicle was manufactured, does that mean you get backwards compatibility with all previous modules? Is this safe to do in all cases?
Changing time criteria is allowed only for retrofits (advanced level). Do not write modified time criteria into the vehicle. It will not do any good!
БМВ Х6 Ф16 2016г. На NBT (не EVO) не активна функция "передача данных по блютуз", чтобы использовать телефон как модем через блютуз. Все есть, телесервис, камеры, кнопка SOS, распознавание знаков, нави проф..
Можно активировать "передача данных по блютуз"? Где я живу с этим не сталкивались.
Если можно, подскажите в каком месте! Спасибо.
Это так не будет работать (
Да и нет нужны в этом.
@@BimDoc чего и спросили, есть нужда в этом. Понимаю, что многое не понимаю.
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?
HW is definitely needed
Coding will not be enough!
@@BimDoc do you know which HW is missing in that case?
tnx u dear
Было очень полезно! Спасибо.
Would you always do hardware changes first before coding?
Yes and no.
If I’m 100% that those hardware changes will be accepted then yes.
If I’m not sure, then research is needed. Not to waste time
@@BimDoc thank you!
Лучше вас кто смог бы объяснить и рассказать никого нет!
А пожалуйста
Владимир, здравствуйте! Собираюсь купить BMW g20 из Кореи, но там нет русского языка. Как его закодировать правильно? - просто добавить в комплектацию S6UD и S8LR? кодировать сразу все блоки, или выборочно? Или там другой алгоритм?
Делается. Но немного по другому
If the production date is changed for a retrofit, and another module has changed during that changed period of time, is it worth changing the production date to the original one after coding? For example, if the FEM module has been changed to a newer version at the factory over a period of time and you still have the old module in the car. You update the FEM module software, so the wrong software goes inside the module?
Car production date istep shipment should always remain the same in the car.
Changing it is allowed only temporarily for retrofits.
I suggest not to mess with I-step shipment
@@BimDoc I mean the Zeitkriterium change, not the istep shipment level. So is it possible to update the module's software incorrectly if I have changed the Zeitkriterium number to a newer one? Your videos are great 👍.
Привет,помоги решить проблему,не работает система смены полосы движения,ошибок по этому модулю нет,нажимаешь кнопку пишет,что система активна на скорости от 50 км/ч,но ничего не происходит!
Бмв ф 10 2012 год
Попробуйте включить ее на скорости выше 50 кмч.
Если не помогает и все равно нет ошибок то перекодируйте модуль в сток. Может кто игрался с кодировками.
@@BimDoc буду очень благодарен если подскажешь как переключить модуль в сток!!
А не планируешь сделать видео с программой BimmerCode?
Не пользуюсь ей.
very good video
Enjoy))
Привет. Иногда замечаю, что 4 цифры typecode не всегда соответствуют цифрам в vin номере. Обращал внимание? Почему так?
Вот не обращал. Может какая особенность рынка
Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста как перекодировать диодные туманки?
Это модно сделать как через FDL так и по FA
подскажите пожалуйста можно ли отключить авто поднятие заднего спойлера на скорости на GT F34? ,а то при морозе лёд появился и закрывается криво он.
Вроде можно было.
@@BimDoc а где искать этот параметр ?
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 know which ecus you need to code for a particular option you add to VO?
Based on the experience or esys launcher can assist you in that (for example esys ultra will tell you)
Hello Vladimir, thanks for Your very good videos about esys. Can You also show how to write the fa and do fdl coding after this to let vehicle updateable for Ista+/p. The way You showed is without the step of writing FA in memory module. Maybe You can make a extra Video about the FA writing and then coding and prepare fdl for it and compare to code without writing (pro/cons). Thank You for your great Videos
Noted
Thanks. I replaced second hand CIC bmw 740d 2011 f01 without Coding then camera not work who can support me?
Wo coding it will not work properly
In addition you need to activate navigation as well
Hi Vladimir, is your website resource available yet.?
It was, but most likely will not be back online any soon
Thank you Vladimir for your great videos...Can i use E-Sys for things like clone, reset, code/programming a tcm/ecu on bmw transmissions? Does it work on all bmw E, F, G series? many thanks and much appreciated your support
Esys is used for F and G series
Coding and programming only
No E series
No cloning etc
For those purposes another tools are needed
@ thank you Vladimir for replying asap… could you suggest some tools according to your professional experience that would do tcm/ecu reset and maybe cloning…maybe you would know something like esys good and even free
Much appreciated
If you still can answer my previous question will be greatly appreciated…
By the way do you have a video of programming a tcm/ecu using esys?
this is the best informative video I ever found about E-Sys! thank you.
I have a problem and hope you can help please.
I retrofitted cruise control into my F20 and added the 544, also added 2TB and 6NS to enable bluetooth.
the mistake I did was coded the entire ECU not just the ones required, and now I'm stuck with Drive train mulfanction and checkengine light, car is working fine thoos and the cruise control works fine.
scanned the car via obd and it says:
Error code: 1F2601: DME, coding missing and 2 transmission codes: CF2101 and CF1531
is there away to correct this? really apreciate any advice, thanks :)
Yes if is solvable.
Recode all with stock FA
DDE needs cafd tonne inserted to fix your problem
@Ramy Enam I am looking to do the same thing to my F20, do you have an email I could email you on or a number as I can’t seem to find the download links for Esys please could you help?
@@mustaqkhalifa9700 I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but your best chances are either look for installation guides on RUclips or bimmer forums
Touching on the headunit topic here, mine was a basic EntryNav 6” display and changed to 12” android display but the screen just won’t go to wide screen and if I coded to split screen the right side was just blacked out. I had no choice but just view my screen on half left.
Try to go inside settings in the Android to play with screen sizes
@@BimDoc The android settings matches what the resolution I have set. If the res set to 800x480 and android setting 1280x480 it’ll become a stretch screen. If match 1280x480 both coding and android settings ; right side screen will blacked out. Initially I kept arguing to seller for months and ask them to resolve this but end up they say it is what it is.
That’s why I don’t like not OEM solutions ((
@@BimDoc I have to come back and do a closure. Finally I got it to full screen. Using e-sys and BU launcher to edit ncd. Because my e-sys files are all dots. Many thanks to you for this guide. I can’t believe it. It’s only 2 things to code. Display resolution and display variante. While bimmercode and BU can’t make this work. Thanks again!
I VO coded 2TB, should I write it to the car in VCM or not? What is the best approach?
I always prefer to write it into VCM
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
Writing FA back is done via VCM tab
VO coding rewrites all FDL coding.
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?
Converting form AWD to RWD is not so straight forward
thank you
