Did you right-click on the first green CAFD and select "Read Coding Data"?

 

Yes, I did. The Read Code Data window comes up, and within a second, it closes and the error window comes up. I wonder if it is something with my pszdata files.

 

I haven't used E-sys for awhile, so I'm a bit rusty myself. Are you're pszdata files definitely the latest ones?

I've been using Bimmercode mostly of late. Unless I have a compelling reason to, I might not use E-sys ever again.

 

First guess is that you have psdzdata files that are older than what you have in your car. Make sure you have the latest psdzdata files on your computer. 63.3 is the latest I think.

 

I was able to code a couple of things - including remember last drive mode which was important to me.

I could not however code disabling seat belt reminder chimes or lights. I could not find Gurtzustandsanzeige_Fahrer_GWF_GZA_FA or SeatBeltReminder_SBR_Fahrer in any of the three function sets in ACSM. Actually I have ACSM2 not ACSM. I used the search function and nothing. Any idea what I am missing?

 

Me neither.
I had the seatbelt chime coded out previously then went in for a software update and when I went back to code it again it was gone. I even had someone with a ton of coding experience look and he couldn't find it.

 

I am guessing that mine was built with the update.

I went back in and found a couple of parameters that could be it, but I think it will have to be found via experimentation and Google translate!

This weekend it is supposed to warm up to 50, so the MINI will get a bath and some more coding.

If I find the way to do it, I will post up.

 

Hello - has anyone switched the side marker bulb to LED ? I am getting that hyper flash - I checked on bimmercode but the LED option is already selected any ideas how to correct this? - besides putting the old bulbs back haha - TIA

 

You'd either need CANBUS compatible LED(s)...
or
Regular LED(s) with a resistor in place to compensate for the loss of load on the circuit...
or
LED Relay(s), which have no minimum load and don't require resistor(s).

 

Make sure you have hot and cold monitoring turned off via bimmercode in addition to the bulb is LED function.

 

 

 

Anyone swapped out the incandescent (?) back-up lights for LEDs? The yellow lamps are out of place with the very LED-look of the other lamps at night.

Which bulbs did you use, and were there any issues?

 

I used the brightest Cree LED white bulbs I could find - not even CANBUS. Used ESYS to code out cold/warm checks and set as LED to prevent hyper-flashing and random flashes.

 

I bought these for my clubman during an ecs tuning sale. I would assume they would work on countryman as well.

Going to do just as you suggest. Thanks!

Can you code out specifically for the back-up lamps?

 

Yes. These are the parameters to change (I think):
RFS_L_IS_LED to aktiv
RFS_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG to nicht_aktiv
RFS_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG to nicht_aktiv
RFS_R_IS_LED to aktiv
RFS_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG to nicht_aktiv
RFS_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG to nicht_aktiv

 

What about rear brake lights & turn lights? Those really need LED's. I can't believe they didn't use em in this car for everything.

 

I agree! It's not just BMW. So many brands cherrypick which lights to make LED, and which not. Surely, beyond the headlamps, it's no longer a question of cost!

Our car gives off a very "LED-lit" overall appearance at night. Seems a shame to not have utilized LEDs for the remaining 15% of bulbs.

I'm a bit wary of doing the "flashing" lights, like turn signals, since those are the riskiest to successfully swap out without issues.

 

I don't have the full parameters, but it's:
Front turn signal lights:
***_V_L_IS_LED
***_V_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG
***_V_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG
***_V_R_IS_LED
***_V_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG
***_V_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG

Rear Turn signal lights:
***_H_L_IS_LED
***_H_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG
***_H_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG
***_H_R_IS_LED
***_H_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG
***_H_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG

I don't have the rear brake light codes at all, but I'm sure it's something similar.

Well it seems the LCI F56/F55/F57 are going full LED, so that's a step in the right direction I guess. Wondering when the F54 and F60 get the full LED treatment.

 

Yes, but if it means having to have Union Jacks for brake lights, no thanks! I don't even like having it on my MINI Yours steering wheel. It's phony, and dishonest. Our car is German (or Dutch, if you want to be literal about it). MINI stopped being "English" a long time ago.

 

 

Disregard I had set the interior lights not to come on when I opened the door and that deactivated all the welcoming lights. hello - not sure if this has anything to do with the OBD & bimmercode i did but it my MINI puddle light from the drivers mirror and door handles have stopped working - has anyone else come across this issue?

 

 

You cannot use launcher premium to launch esys within a VM. The only way it will work on a mac is to install windows within bootcamp and boot directly into windows.
