Just for you guys, here's shots from a spreadsheet I made with all the coding parameters I've scrounged up from various BMW/MINI coding sources, along with my notes. Some codes were for BMW so some of them won't work (or didn't work for me) and some we can get working someday (turn signals in HUD please!).

I haven't coded in months so some info may be outdated or I never updated the sheet.

 

Thanks for sharing!!

 

Hey Ryan. Did you have to install a new esys token on the new windows 10 laptop or did it recognise your old one? Also when you wait 48 hours does the program stay unlocked until you select the car series or is it a one time deal that you can't change? Thx

 

You can defeat the 48 hour wait -- just change your PC date/time ahead 48 hours, launch the token generator, select your vehicle, generate the token and then change the date/time back.

 

So I tried that and it says "0 hours till next change" but did not allow me to change from F999 just boots up the main program. Do I have to delete everything and start again? ..or am I missing something?

 

Sorry, my above post was not 100% accurate. I dug out the notes regarding E-Sys Launcher and posted below, hopefully this helps.

 

Got it working! Although I have not used it in the car yet!
Had a guy activate my Sirius radio tonight though. Totally goo deal at under $200 US. The radio was already active and I didn't have to call for a free trial. he said he had never seen that before.
He does BMW's and was very impressed with the JCW. He said it had all the high end BMW gear EVO maps etc (although in the BMW they update automatically). While he had his computer out he removed the nag screen from the Idrive and changed the boot screen to the M1 and changed the cars sound system to M1 too. Much better IMHO.
I'm getting into it tomorrow myself! Can't wait!

 

Hi All:

My MINI (attempt #2 after the dealer "mis-ordered" the first time) is almost here. I have some questions about coding now that it's getting closer to the time for this...

1. Is it possible to code No-Glare (no dazzle?) High Beams on a F55S Mini with all technology packages (Active Driving Assist, HUD, Advanced LED lights, etc.)?
2. Is it is possible to code LDW/LCW on an F55S (I believe that this requires the KAFAS2 camera, which the F55S with Active Driving Assist has)?
3. Is it possible to get the turn-signal indicators in the HUD?
4. What is the point of activating "in-car wifi"? I'm assuming it can't be used as an actual hotspot...
5. Is it possible to activate other features, such as RTTI (from mobile data), traffic-jam assist, etc?
6. What exactly does "Ambiance Lighting controlled independent from Dimmer Switch" mean? (I don't have the car yet, so maybe this is self-evident when I'm in the seat.)
7. What can be done from the Active Sound Design Menu?
8. The Sport display and tire pressure setting work properly, correct?
9. What is available in the "Developer Menu"?

I am having trouble getting the E-Sys software to work, I can get it hooked up to the car and when I go to connect nothing comes back on Open Connection screen, my Target area is blank with no options. I am looking through the logs now but it seems to have read my PSdZ stuff. Re-downloading the file again to make sure I didn't have an issue.

 

Help! Hilfe!
Went for it today. Everything was textbook. I decided to change the start system - so I do not have to depress the clutch to start the car.
According to the guide
3020 TCM_Startlock_Brake set to nicht-aktiv
3020 TCM_Startlock_Clutch set to nicht-aktiv
3020 TCM_Startlock_Drivereadiness set to nicht-aktiv

Both 1 and 3 were already correct so I changed 2 and saved the file coded FCL.

When I cycled the key the car would not start with 2 pushes of the start button. So I push the clutch in and the car still won't start!! **** - how am I going to run the program without the engine running....
I do however and change the clutch value back and now the car starts with the clutch depressed (like it did from the factory).

So has anyone done the above and had success or is the guy who wrote the BMW not right in his coding? That was kinda scary I tell you.....car won't start....not good!

Thoughts from the experts?

 

Ok got my problem sorted forgot to move some files around so they were in the right places. Good to go, Got the following coded:
BDC:
Close windows, sunroof & mirror from key fob:
3056  KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB = aktiv 00 (Comfort Access ONLY)
3056  KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN  WERTE = 00 (Mirror Fold Delay = 0 sec delay)
3110  ASP_BEIKLAPPEN = aktiv (werte=01)
3110  ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN = (werte=01)
3110  ASP_AUSKLAPPEN_NACH_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN = (werte=01)

Auto Start/Stop Remember Last Setting:
3023  TCM_MSA_MEMORY = aktiv 01

Change Triple-Blink Count to another Value:
3068  BLINKZYKLEN_ANZAHL_TIPP – Werte = # blinks-1 (werte=4)

Turn on Fog Lights with Welcome Lights:
3063  MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PART_OF_WL = hard on
3063  MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PART_OF_WL = hard on

Activate Rear Fog Lights: (In conjunction with REM Module coding)
3068  NSL_Verbaut = Verbaut

Activate Rear Fog Lights feature for lighting switch:
3064  Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_output = nsl_l
3064  Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_Function = nebelschlusslicht
3064  Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_output = nsl_r
3064  Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_Function = nebelschlusslicht

HU_NBT:
Display Tire Pressure & Temperaure in Vehicle Info:
3001  RDC_SAFETY = aktiv 01

KOMBI:
Set Clock via GPS:
3000  GPS_UHR = aktiv 01

Not too bad, a bit of a learning curve, but not too bad. Now I am just waiting to get my new light switch assembly I ordered and I can test my rear fogs.

I did try to setup
IHKA Module:
A/C System Remembers Last Setting
3003  MEMORY_OFF set to aktiv/werte=01

But I couldn't get it to work, it would just blink the AC light on my switch panel and not remember my choice. Going to look into this more but for now I am happy with what I got setup. Going to see what else I can enable.

 

Anyone else loose their presets after coding?

 

Yep! I only notice it when coding in the HU_NBT though, which makes sense as it's the head unit.

 

I only had some HD FM stations in my presets, everything else is is there and fine as far as I can tell.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

How did you get this resolved? Or are you still having issues?
Curious in case I do something like this.

 

I set mine up like this back when I coded my car, but changed it back because it was quicker to depress the clutch. I believe you have to hold the start/stop button for a few seconds with these settings enabled.

 

I'm sure I pushed the button for at least 2 seconds....but good to know. I think I'll leave it the way it is.
I'll code the British accent instead for my next attempt.
One more question. Can you leave your laptop plugged in and cycle the ignition and then go back to programming...or can you check things have changed with esys still running then make additional changes as required with out re activating the whole process?

 

The British accent forces you into British Post-codes for address entry and other issues. Don't bother.

 

I could be wrong, but I believe the answer is no. I always disconnect when I key/power cycle the vehicle after coding to check coding was successful.

Something tells me the OBD port is only active if the vehicle is at least powered into ACC mode. Again, I could be 100% wrong.

 

anyone from DC MD VA area have referals who can do coding?

 

See answers above

Yes, anytime you code the HU_NBT module, all the favorites buttons get cleared. Incidentally, if you code some of the other modules, other things get reset. KOMBI knocks out the time, one of the other modules (forget which one) will mess with the side mirrors.

When I coded, I would just keep going and never cycled the car. Would code, let the process complete, do a quick test, then go right into the next module. I think technically, you can make all your changes to multiple CAFD files (offline even) and code them one after the other. MUCH more forgiving than NCSEXPERT was.

 

Just spent 2 hours fiddling. My is a 2016. I set the recycled air memory and AC memory and as some stated the AC light flashed - I reset but now it remember the recycling and it stays on until I change it. Every other change took.
As far as the iDrive screen. I got them all to work perfectly. BMW BMWI and RR all perfect. Here's how the 2 BMW screens look.
I kinds like the MINI one but will run the RR one next time I go for service to impress the head mechanic!

The one thing I couldn't get to work was the doors unlock on ignition off. The tried loading the data 4 times but the nicht_aktiv was highlighted and when you pushed the down arrow there was no alternative. Drag because that is one thing about the F56 that is really annoying! Anyone else have this problem?

 

That's cool you got all the themes working. On mine, only BMWi worked and the others, it would just crash on the MINI logo. I suspect the reason why is because the XL units on the 14s and 15s were the same units being used on the BMW i3 and i8. On the 2016 models they changed headunits. If you compare the two side-by-side, the 16s have much better contrast, are slightly faster, and they use EVO maps instead of the NEXT maps. No new capabilities though.

I keep mine on the MINI theme, mostly because it takes the curved edges of the screen bezel into account so it looks nicer. It's also more colorful I do use the BMWi sounds though. I find them less obtrusive than the MINI sounds and more subtle than the BMW sounds. Confuses techs when they start my car too

 

Followed all your notes. In RR mode the voice is British without changing the Language settings....
Any thoughts on the "open doors on ignition off" settings?
