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?
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.

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?

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
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?
Hi BIM doc If i add 5AS drive assistant in salapa and FA Code relavant ecu´s: FEM, KAFAS2, HU, Kombi, ICM. Do i then need to do FDL coding afterwards to make the 5AS function or will the FA coding setup the ECUs for 5AS with neccesarry FDL coding? I have a F31 02/2017 with FCW, SLI, ACC. I have purchased "OEM" FCS for pedestrian warning.
FA coding always overrides FDL coding. No addition FDL is needed after FA. Exception is if you need to restore some FDL parameters you have made before.
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?
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 😉
Thank you, it is very clear now! Finally I found one very useful tutorial on E-sys! Technical Questions: in my case, I would like to replace the LED Headlights with used Laser Headlights. Will I be looking to CODE the FA (Removing LED SA and adding Laser SA) and then code FLER/FLEL modules only? Or is there anything else I must pay attention? Thank you
I've swapped out identical replacement headlights for my G Series and they need coding what is it i need to do? Change the VO and can it be done using Esys?
@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.
If you perform VO coding then all previous codings will be overwritten! So do not approach the way you have described. You need to add steering wheel codings manually via FDL coding. See my esys manual part 3 to get an idea how it should be done correctly
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??
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."
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?
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.
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.
Hello, I have seen your videos on RUclips. And wanted to add something to my vehicle order. However, I don't want to code the whole car but only the control units that are affected/dependent.

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
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?)))
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!
The best video i have seen explaining e-sys, but can you clarify the following. My head unit failed so i installed an identical one sourced from ebay. I now get error code B7F882 'Control Unit is coded for vehicle'. Its identical an part number to the prior unit, so the VO should be the same. What do i do to code the new head unit to the vehicle if it is identical to the prior one?
@@BimDoc my vo does not change since I am installing a replacement head unit. When I come to code the replacement head unit ecu the code button is not bold so cannot be selected. Does the replacement head unit require to be flashed, I assume you had to do this when you upgraded yours
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
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.
Just perfect, now i understand better. How can you upgrade the firmware of the retrofitted nbt-evo? That would be very interesting (fullscreen carplay ☺️)
I have a question. After I coded the traffic jam assistant on F11 to work not only on highways, I received a fault code on ISTA: 030852 Driver Assistance: System limits extended for test operation (the fault could not be deleted). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Probably my cheat sheet is wrong?
@@BimDoc Thank you for your answer. I will dig a bit deeper into the subject to rectify the error code. I am not sure about the cheat code I have for TJM. Difficult to find those on the internet.
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 👍.
Super Thanks! It's impressive, the best instructive content. I want to code out VDC(EDC) of F2x series. Hope it works in the same manner, maybe by deleting "2VF" from somewhere(s). Anyone, please give the instruction!!
@@BimDoc Hi, Thank you for your comment. You showed the method to restore the change by reverting the data manually in FA. Although it's good to restore a few changes, it may be difficult to restore many changes at one time. it's . So, could you tell the steps to restore the original settings from the backup file, just in case for the safety?
@@BimDoc Hi, please allow me one more question. I guess there are cases that more than one ECU nodes have to be coded even if only one item was changed/deleted/added in VO. If my guess is true, how can you tell which other ECU node(s) should run "Code"?
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.
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?
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 :)

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 😉
Thank you, it is very clear now! Finally I found one very useful tutorial on E-sys!
Technical Questions: in my case, I would like to replace the LED Headlights with used Laser Headlights. Will I be looking to CODE the FA (Removing LED SA and adding Laser SA) and then code FLER/FLEL modules only? Or is there anything else I must pay attention?
Thank you
Code BDC/FEM as well
Be aware that laser lights were not present on all preLCI BMWs. So they will be not compatible wo extra adapters etc.
I've swapped out identical replacement headlights for my G Series and they need coding what is it i need to do? Change the VO and can it be done using Esys?
Follow that guide 😉

Thanks alot for your videos! Could you please drop us video about checking real mailage on car before buying?
There is such a video in the channel. But in Russian.
@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.
If you perform VO coding then all previous codings will be overwritten!
So do not approach the way you have described.
You need to add steering wheel codings manually via FDL coding.
See my esys manual part 3 to get an idea how it should be done correctly
Владимир, спасибо, я с тобой английский выучу 🔥
Знания никогда не бывают лишними
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??
No need to replace HU
It is solvable.
Contact me directly on telegram for example @bimmerdoc
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."
With the coding you should be able to make it work. But you might have an error about wrong steering wheel version installed after that.
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
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
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.
Headunit has no connection to the steering.
You can even disconnect HU and nothing will change.
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.
Believe me, it is the basic coding.
Advanced coding is retrofitting new incompatible ECUs ))
Hello, I have seen your videos on RUclips. And wanted to add something to my vehicle order. However, I don't want to code the whole car but only the control units that are affected/dependent. How can I find out?
I have only found instructions on how to find the dependency for flashing but not when changing the vehicle order.
It’s a good question.
I might even make a full video about that 😉
Short answer is use Esys Ultra to see which ECUs are needed to be coded
Hello
I am going to retrofit my F20 2014 to nbt evo but i don't know how to VO as i am a little bit confused my car year last production date is 2015 so what to write at typekey and production date time in order to read 609 can you clarify
Temporarily use another chassis, not F20 😉
Владимир здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста при дооснощении ф30 2014 года камерой зх icam нужно ли изменить год ? При добавлении 3AG в FA все кодируется и работает но в исте дереве блоков появляется несуществующий блок trsvc. Подскажите пожалуйста как правильнее поступить чтобы получилось по феншую и ошибок не было в исте
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.
Спасибо,полезно! Только тяжело воспринимать материал на английском….
Начинать всегда не просто
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?)))
Если играть с комплектацией и кодировать разные блоки то результат может быть очень непредсказуемый ))
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!
You can change it to 609 and save. If the same HU was found at you vehicle (type and date)
@@BimDoc Thanks for answer. I'am curious why you havent done it on your retrofit.
You did say, that it may harm vehicle. Greetings!
The best video i have seen explaining e-sys, but can you clarify the following. My head unit failed so i installed an identical one sourced from ebay. I now get error code B7F882 'Control Unit is coded for vehicle'. Its identical an part number to the prior unit, so the VO should be the same. What do i do to code the new head unit to the vehicle if it is identical to the prior one?
Yes you need to VO code it.
In addition FSC codes are needed for navigation activation
@@BimDoc my vo does not change since I am installing a replacement head unit. When I come to code the replacement head unit ecu the code button is not bold so cannot be selected. Does the replacement head unit require to be flashed, I assume you had to do this when you upgraded yours
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
Nice work!
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?
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
Just perfect, now i understand better. How can you upgrade the firmware of the retrofitted nbt-evo? That would be very interesting (fullscreen carplay ☺️)
Might be one if future topics
@@BimDoc awesome, looking forward to this 👍
I have a question. After I coded the traffic jam assistant on F11 to work not only on highways, I received a fault code on ISTA: 030852 Driver Assistance: System limits extended for test operation (the fault could not be deleted). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Probably my cheat sheet is wrong?
There should not be any error of that kind.
Atleast I haven’t seen those after activation such functions
@@BimDoc Thank you for your answer. I will dig a bit deeper into the subject to rectify the error code. I am not sure about the cheat code I have for TJM. Difficult to find those on the internet.
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)
The sharing is very useful, thank you very much, I am always waiting for the next parts
You welcome ))
Hi, when coding with VO do you need full PSDZDATA or is lite enough ?
Lite will be enough
Excellent videos, really clear instructions and by far the best guides available on the net.
Thank you ☺️
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, классно объясняешь
This will help me add 644 to my F11. Thank you so much !
You're welcome!
Super Thanks! It's impressive, the best instructive content. I want to code out VDC(EDC) of F2x series. Hope it works in the same manner, maybe by deleting "2VF" from somewhere(s). Anyone, please give the instruction!!
It is possible. Key is in manipulations with SVT.
@@BimDoc Hi, Thank you for your comment. You showed the method to restore the change by reverting the data manually in FA. Although it's good to restore a few changes, it may be difficult to restore many changes at one time. it's . So, could you tell the steps to restore the original settings from the backup file, just in case for the safety?
@@BimDoc Hi, please allow me one more question. I guess there are cases that more than one ECU nodes have to be coded even if only one item was changed/deleted/added in VO. If my guess is true, how can you tell which other ECU node(s) should run "Code"?
Thank you for this real-life tutorial .
You welcome 🤗
Спасибо Владимир! Развеяли мои сомнения! Буду осваивать сам 👍😎
Конечно. Кто не рискует, тот не пьет шампанского))
@@BimDoc 🤝🥰
Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста как перекодировать диодные туманки?
Это модно сделать как через FDL так и по FA
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?
Their tools allow to do almost all same things in expert mode. But no phone codings apps can make all the same as engineer level software (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.
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?
Just google for coding guides. They will tell which ECUs needed to me coded (EGS, ICM, KOMBI) at least. Maybe DSC as well.
@@BimDoc thank you for your fast reply. I'll try Google it one more time.
Спасибо за очень полезный контент
А пожалуйста
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
How to change the GPS map to North America on a BMW F15 imported from Japan? The GPS is all in Japanese showing Japan region. Does the vehicle need coding to change the region to USA?
Atleast map change is needed, but be aware that Japanese BMWs a a bit different and HU reflashing is also needed!
@@BimDoc It seems the vehicle exporter already did that- the HU and dash displays are all in English, only the map is Japan. Where do I get the maps from?
Hi Vladimir, is your website resource available yet.?
It was, but most likely will not be back online any soon
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?
Как всегда, отличный видос! 🌞
А не планируешь сделать видео с программой BimmerCode?
Не пользуюсь ей.
подскажите пожалуйста можно ли отключить авто поднятие заднего спойлера на скорости на GT F34? ,а то при морозе лёд появился и закрывается криво он.

@@BimDoc а где искать этот параметр ?
Question in the round, has anybody tried to code TCB after retrofiting HU NBT? Somehow it isn't appearing in E-Sys when i search by ECU?
With OEM NBT it should be present. So most likely some kind CAN bus difference error or similar.
@@BimDoc thats what I tought too. Before the TCB there was a Combox in the F20 built in. Looks like the Combox was comunicating via KCAN2 so i just needed to do some rewiring regarding the Mic
How do we make sure which ECU should be coded with the new FA? I mean the depencies for dedicated ECUs they are involved into the "new" option.
Different launchers have built in extra options to show that.
@@BimDoc Also EsysUltra? The ESysUltra supplier do not provide the overview on additional features or am I wrong? And thanks for you recommendation regarding Backup feature in ESysUltra, it did spare a lot of issues and time for me)
Hello, i changed a headlight and need to code the new modules to my 1 series f20, how do i do this?
Import CAFD and code ecu
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
Как добавить удержание полосы на F10, у меня камеры 360, адаптивный круиз, предупреждение о смене полосы присутствует в качестве вибрации руля. Можно добавить подруливание и как? Спасибо
Подруливание не поддерживается. Максимум предупреждение как и сейчас имеется.
@@BimDoc ну по идее можно установить сенсор присутствия рук в руль, кнопку подключить в блок и прописать?
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
I’ll cover that information in one of my future videos (esys launcher comparison)
@@BimDoc Awesome 👏🏻
Hello, I brought a car from Japan. Everything is in Japanese. I want to add another language and change the country and install European navigation. Could you please share a video for this, thank you.
With Japanese cars it is a bit more specific.
Reflashing is needed.
But due to a huge demand I do really think to make a video about that. Waiting for donor ))
@@BimDoc I can donate. How do I do it?
Very interesting video,well done bimmer doc ,we wait for part 3!
Part 3 will be even deeper ))
Great Work! Thanks a lot.
Awesome video! Thank you for the detailed explanation!
You welcome )
so if I have 205 transmission, I just need to erase it and replace it with 2TB? it will automatically also enable the paddle?
Yes
And code needed ECUs as well
@@BimDoc thank you! the needed ECUS are Kombi, EGS, ICM correct?
thank you very much im really greatfull for you
