Hi all,

New around here, and new to Minis in general. Just took possession of my 2017 Countryman S All4, and there are a few things I'd like to modify so I've been doing some reading about using E-Sys to program things like disabling the seatbelt chime (yes, I'll still wear my seatbelt), allowing nav use while driving (yes, I only want this so my wife can enter nav destinations while I'm driving), enabling auto window up with the key fob, etc.

Anyone with an F60 done this? I see plenty of resources for older minis and BMWs, but curious if the same instructions apply for this model.

I have a ENET cable on the way, so I'm happy to give it a shot and report back, just figured I'd see if anyone had tried already and had success (or not) to report.

 

E-Sys works with all F-series cars, so without a doubt, it will work. You may have to select F56, if F60 isn't listed.

Does the F60 not allow Nav input while driving? That's new. My F56 always did, even before coding.

 

Yeah, it locks down some functionality but not others.

 

My wife and I just picked up new 2017 F60 and F56. The coding doesn't seem to match any of the lists that have been published that I'm finding. I'll be curious what your experience will be.

 

I intend to code my F60 pretty much as soon as I take it home. Certain things need to be, for my happiness:
- no legal disclaimers
- tire pressure & temp reading
- mirror folding w/door locking
- BMW gongs
- radio off w/door opening
- full texts viewable w/SMS
- 5x soft turn signal
- GPS time sync
- iPhone inbound ringer
Etc., etc.

 

When do you take possession? Some of those things seem annoyingly obvious. Do you know if the codes have changed from F56 to F60?

 

I will follow this with interest. My 2018 F60 will be here in a few weeks and I will definitely want to code it. I am searching for the correct E-Sys cable for the F60- but maybe too early to be available? If anyone has a link to a cable that will work with the F60, I will get it purchased. Many thanks!

 

It's an OBD to ethernet cable, should be same for any F series car.

 

Got it and found one. Thanks MTM!

Got my ENET cable, now waiting for 1 of 2 things to happen:

1. TokenMaster to give me an activation key so I can use E-SYS Launcher Premium on a VM on my Mac.
2. My brother to let me borrow his Windows PC so I can use it without waiting for an activation code.

Fingers crossed codes from F56 actually work on F60.

 

Were you still able to read the codes from the car? Curious if it'll just take a bit of translating to figure out.

 

It worked! Borrowed a windows laptop and my cheap ENET cable off of Amazon worked great for reading and editing codes.

Couple of things:

1. Not all codes are in the same place as F56, but I was able to search for names of functions and found most of them. There were a couple that weren't there (or they were named something else that I couldn't figure out), like Unlock Door on Engine Off.

2. Some codes were already enabled that I didn't expect to be based on F56 forums, like Turn off MMI when door is opened and A/C remembers last setting.

3. Some codes don't seem to have worked: Enable Turn Signals in HUD, Enable Speech Input for SMS, Display tire temp.

I also can't seem to find the code for folding the mirrors when I press the comfort access button on the door handle to lock the car.


But here's what I did get working:

And a few I haven't tested yet, but was able to code:

 

F48 owners (BMW X1) successfully code in F056 mode, so you'll have no problem. All F-series cars share the same wiring and electronic systems. It's only a question of some codes being ineffective, because of unsupported features, e.g. turn signals in the HUD doesn't work in F30, F56, etc.

 

Turn signals in HUD won't work.

Speech input for SMS? Just hold down (versus push) voice button on steering wheel, and it will activate SIRI Handsfree, and you can just have "her" compose an SMS.

Tire temp you should DEFINITELY be able to do, but I forget the section. Look in HU_NBT though, I would think.

Mirror-folding is Spiegel Beiklappen bei Komfort Schließung, or something similar. I refined my coding yesterday, to where it now folds IMMEDIATELY upon locking doors (werte=0 [seconds]).

I would very very shocked if any coding possibilities that work on F56 do not also work on F60. I won't have my F60 until next month, however.

 

Csader:

HU_NBT 3001 RDC_SAFETY and/or RDC_Druck_Temp

Default: Druck

Change to:
Druck und Temeratur = Aktiv

Let us know.

This is a helpful list:

You got yours to fold immediately when you press the comfort access button on the door handle? Mine does immediately when I use the keyfob, just not from the handle. If I hold for 1 sec, it does.

 

I used to have to hold it down for 2 seconds. Now, I just hold it down, and it immediately folds. If I merely press the comfort access button, it locks only, without mirror-folding.

 

I gotta get this going too. My 2018 F60 needs some E-SYS love. How does one get the E-SYS software?

This seller has online guides, tutorials and actually answers emailed questions. You can probably buy a $10 cable, but I like his support of the project and I know his cable works.

 

Very cool! Just ordered it!

 

Odd thing: the one thing I have failed to code is tire temps. I easily did it on my F56, but it just doesn't seem to take on the F60. Anyone have any luck doing that?

Nope. Tire Temps does not seem to exist on F60. Coded just as you say, twice, and although it worked on my F56, it hasn't worked on my F60.

I've looked all over KOMBI for anything to make the now white nighttime speedo readout in the HUD, orange, but it doesn't appear as though it's possible. Hard to believe it!

 

Well boo
