Sounds like an excellent idea

I looked around last week at creating a public WIKI page but did not come up with much. I could do a Wordpress site but it would not be editable to my knowledge.

I have just about all the codes that are verified working along with a cheat sheet on obtaining the necessary files to make all this work, just need a outlet to publish.

CooperB, how about using GoogleDoc Excel sheet? You can set the permission so that the public can edit it, just like how I have mine right now.

Honestly, I don't know how long I'll be active in the forums so it's probably better for a long-timer create a new thread. But maybe that doesn't matter too much either since we can just post a link to the publicly editable excel sheet in the first post. Maybe create it in How-To forum, and add that in your signature to advertise.

HP79 -- It's not a bad idea, only problem vs a true Wiki is anyone can come along and edit the document. The Wiki theory is that it requires an account of some sort and logs the user, date, time, and IP address of the person changing it. You can also revert a change should someone come along and totally screw it up.

I am not opposed to your idea at all as it seems the only logical way at this moment. My email auto-reply idea was something I just threw together quickly. I keep my own list of codes in an Excel file similar to yours -- I just dumped it plain-text to Gmail for the auto-reply.

curious if this one works - I found this discussed quite a bit in the BMW forums, and from what I can tell there seems to be hardware required, to store the mirror position, for this to work.

Yup.. didn't work for me either. In the "koment" there was some wording that it requires mirror memory. I thought those memory are for powered seat positions which MINIs don't have so I tried it anyways, but didn't work.

Any chance someone can list all the German text so we can try to decipher it?

Problem is that everything is inside a folder in a folder. You have to open each folder and cant even copy-paste those letters. Some parameters have descriptions some don't. And then they use so many abbreviations.

I can add all of my codes to your doc but I don't have the base model. I don't want to confuse people.

hammerhands, what are those hex numbers on the left side and what is the right side? If you have all the files you are looking for, then can't you post them?
I couldn't find any file that contains real information such as "komment" or any keys.
I did find what some of the acronyms are though.

ACSM: Advanced Crash and Safety Management
BDC: Body Domain Controller Module
BKOMBI: Basis Kombi Instrument (base instrument cluster)
IHKA: Integrierte Heiz-/Klimaautomatik (Integrated heating / climate control)

Has anyone investigated video playback on the media (non-XL) package? Is it possible?

hp79, I'm working on it.

If you look in the cafd directory, that's the name of the file.
Like cafd0000141f.caf.002_005_0051

I've figured out a way to get that data into a text file.
It's not pretty right now, uses Windows scripting.
If you want to try it...Give me a few minutes, I'll rewrite it.

This works pretty well. It can have some issues when it skips lines, but I think I solved that.

Open a caf file in the caf viewer, go to the top key, right click expand, then run this script.
It uses internet explorer to read the clipboard, so you have to say ok to that.

Code:

SET WS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objIE.Navigate("about:blank")

WS.AppActivate("E-Sys")
WScript.sleep(1000)

WS.SendKeys("(^c)")
WScript.Sleep(1000)
strTemp = objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.GetData("text")
Set OutputFile = fs.CreateTextFile(strTemp & ".txt")


SameCount = 0
tabcount=1
LastGet=""
LastFolder=False
While SameCount <> 5
	Wscript.sleep(100)
	WS.AppActivate("E-Sys")
	WS.SendKeys("(^c)")
	WScript.Sleep(100)
	WS.SendKeys("{DOWN}")
	strTemp = objIE.document.parentwindow.clipboardData.GetData("text")
	if strTemp = LastGet then 
		SameCount=SameCount+1
	else
		SameCount=0
		LastGet=strTemp
		If Instr(strTemp, "=") or _
		   Instr(strTemp, "true()") or _
		   Instr(strTemp, "boolean(") then
			If LastFolder then TabCount = 1
			LastFolder = False
		Else
			
			If LastFolder then
			        rem TabCount = TabCount + 1
			Else
				TabCount = 0
			end if
			LastFolder = True
		end if
		OutputFile.WriteLine string(TabCount, chr(09)) & strTemp
	end if
Wend


objIE.Quit

Let me look around and see if I can find the codes for you. I THINK it's possible

These are the codes I could find to enable video play back from USB.

All codes are in the HU_NBT module

3003>API_USB_VIDEO set to both
3000>ENT_CODEC_XVID set to aktiv
3000>ENT_CODEC_VCD set to aktiv

Try that

As a Brit living in the Bay Area, I wanted to change the GPS voice to British English.
I also have a problem with the voice recognition having trouble with an English accent so I can confirm that these both work:-

HU_NBT :--
Change Navi Voice to British English

3000 LANGUAGE_ENGLISH_UK set to: master (default was nicht_aktiv)
3000 LANGUAGE_ENGLISH_US set to: nicht_aktiv (default was aktiv)

and in KOMBI (for the voice recognition)

3008 PIA_Einheiten funktionen → uk / werte 01 (default was us/ werte 02)

After doing this the car seems to understand me much better
