For basic fdl coding you only need the PSdzData lite files Version 2.54.1 is the newest version

http://www.bmwesys.com/guides/ will show you all the known codes and what to set them to.
as for cryptic...once you get the hang of it, it's actually quite simple. keep in mind it's all LITERALLY in german, so the docx fill is really needed.
the codes are broken down into sections. in the .docx file you'll see that, for example,turning off seat belt reminder is:
ACSM
Turn Off Seat-Belt Reminder Chimes:
3000 SeatBeltReminder_Fahrer = nicht_aktiv
3000 SeatBeltReminder_Beifahrer = nicht_aktiv
so you go to ACSM, load up the CAFD file and edit it. when you open that up you'll see a list of numbers. look for 3000, open that up and you'll see a tons of more options. look for "SeatBeltReminder_Fahrer". open that up and you'll most likely see it set to "activ". edit and chose "nicht_aktiv" from the drop-down menu. save and apply and that's it.

I see. Thanks. I'm still waiting on my $4 ODB to Ethernet jack adapter shipped from China.
I wonder if I can disable AC automatically turning on when air is directed towards the windshield. (stupid lawmakers thinking everyone is an idiot in the U.S.) Is the coding mostly very cryptic and hard to recognize what does what?

Does anyone know if Bluetooth audio streaming can be added for the basic radio models?
Not really related and this is probably a bug but every time I turn on my car, my phone is connected through Bluetooth and it starts showing "in call for x:xx" and keeps counting ini the center display. I can't play music through USB or radio or anything unless I make a call and hangup. Then the "in call" message stops and behaves normal. It's so annoying I unpaired my phone. I have a Note3 n900a by the way.
edit: This was caused by my ROM on the phone that got weird. It was fixed after re-flashing my phone.

R33, i have a question. since i simply ordered the most basic radio, i have bluetooth phone only capabilities. this shows up as 6ND in my VO settings. the instructions specifically note that you can go from 6NH to 6NS to enable enhanced bluetooth. do you know if i can go from 6ND to 6NS? more importantly, any concern over doing this? i've confirmed this won't enable my voice activated module but it should enable A2DP audio over bluetooth.

I don't want to turn AC off in defrost mode, I just want it to not turn on automatically when I direct air to the windshield. Most of the times for me, just blowing air to the windshield is enough to prevent fogging.

this is what i get for spending too much time in the bimmer forums. let's me re-ask then. do you see any VO change/addition i can do given i have 6ND only. my ultimate goal is to enable A2DP and it really seems doable, just figuring out the right option to add.

I don't think there's a normal ODB2 reader with an Ethernet for reading ODB2 codes. I've seen bluetooth, wifi, serial ports, USB, but not Ethernet ones.
This is what I bought. It's actually $5 not $4. lol.
edit: Works fine!

I wish I have the same option where I can try it for you.
I think it'll work fine. It's a basic wiring harness with one 500 Ohm resistor in it. I thought of building it myself, but then I can't beat the $5 price. Oh, and the one I ordered is not a regular ODB2 reader, it's actually a ODB to ENET for use with e-sys.

Don't know about you, but when my windshield is frozen the letters AC don't jump into my mind. That's weird the car does that by default. There are some aspects of the F56 I'm glad I don't have.

No, this is one of those stupid things that are done by law in U.S.. All cars built after some year have this. Even if the AC light is not on, it's actually running. You can look at the rpm gauge or load levels if you use a ODB reader. I don't like that because I always try to dry out the vents every time I use AC, another reason I rarely use AC.

What ticks me off even more with this set-up, is that the car will stay in the mode with the A/C engaged until the ignition is turned off. I was able to defeat this in my 04 Nissan PU but I've been unable to in my 09 Tacoma, but am looking forward to doing it in the Mini. Not only is just moving air sufficient 90% of the time to clear your windshield, the lack of power consumption in having the A/C compressor off, has got to contribute to improved gas mileage. OK I'm off the soap box again
Hey if you figure all this out I'm gonna have to pay you a visit and play around with it.

I'm gonna get it. There ain't been a "steenking computer" that's beat me yet. Question is whether the car is still around when I get it or has it rusted away. I'll keep you posted. You can stop by and have a cold one while we tweak our Minis brains out!

E-Sys is a little overwhelming at first but once your start playing around it becomes much easier. Now if only they would add a option to auto translate the German to English under the FA it would be awesome! Wonder if the U.S. dealers have a cheat sheet next to the computers when coding or if they have just been around it so much they know the translations.

So I ordered a cable and downloaded all the necessary files to do it myself. The cable should be here this week.

Agree, but it looks cool!

I'm going to dump all the FDL coding to a word document and then run it though a translator at some point. There are thousands of lines of code... the handful of options that have been published only scratches the surface on what can be coded.

For anyone looking to code windows up, sunroof close, and mirrors fold in (if you have the power fold mirrors option) from the keyfob and/or comfort access button the guide published is not accurate. My working code is below.
The guide tells you to adjust some WERTE values, this is NOT necessary. Do not change any of the WERTE values once you set the 5 options above as active (Aktiv). Save your coding, key cycle the vehicle and it should work. Of note, you press the lock button once on the keybob to lock the doors, press and hold again once locked until all your windows/sunroof close. You do not need comfort acces for this to work, however, if you have this option installed you can use the door button to accomplish what I am doing on my keybob. If you don't have power fold mirrors don't expect them to fold in on lock and out on unlock.
Hopefully this helps if your having issues getting this to work. I'm using E-Sys 2.26 and PSdZData 2.54.1 (lite). If you're only coding FDL (i.e. don't want to flash your ECU or adjust factory installed options from FA/VO) you don't need the full version of PSdZdata.
Code:
BDC 3056 -> KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB = Set Aktiv 3056 -> KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN = Set Aktiv 3110 -> ASP_BEIKLAPPEN = Set Aktiv 3110 -> ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN = Set Aktiv 3110 -> ASP_AUSKLAPPEN_NACH_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN = Set Aktiv
