I'm not aware of any fuel pump issues? Is there something that keeps the machine from drinking once the tank gets below 1/4?

Yeah, there was an issue with the pumps, the fix was to not let the tank run dry. I think they are supposed to be modified now but I figure if the problem has existed in the past I'm not going to tempt fate.
I just searched this article:

I did hear about that one, poor nickel plating on the pump. Thanks.

I'll keep looking...

I am not sure which KOMBI you have (CAFD_00000069, CAFD_00000760, CAFD_000009C8), but both listings are found in all three. Use search rather function rather than manually scanning.

Thanks, I'll try again tonight.

I'm also searching to see if there is something to override the proximity setting to allow me to drop my top from a distance rather than having to be right next to the vehicle.

Is there a reason why the coding for turning off the bulb check at start up when switching bulbs to LED's on the car isn't on the list?

From my understanding these items each need to be coded for both leftside and rightside.

SL_2
BL
BFD
NSL
RFS
FRA_H
FRA_V

And for each of items above (both leftside and rightside), three items need to be changed to the following correct?

xxx_x_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv
xxx_x_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv
xxx_x_x_IS_LED set to aktiv

Is there anything else I'm missing? What about ECU and Module #'s? In my research I didn't really find a clear explanation on where to find either ECU or Module #'s. I believe the ECU's are FEM and the others are REM? Can someone clarify this part for me and let me know where I can find each? Also what about the Module #'s for each?

I've coded all the other usual items using the cheat sheet to my car in the past without any problems, so I'm familiar with coding. I just don't really know if the above information is correct for the bulb check.


I plan on changing my bulbs (3 taillight bulbs, Reverse Lights, Rear Turn Signals and Front Turn Signals) to LED's soon, so I want to be sure I know what to code in order to avoid the bulb check that goes off every 30 seconds or so.

There were a few dedicated post about it so never got to add it to the cheat sheet as they were a lot of items and not something most people do

Some are in fem and some in rem

Thanks for the quick reply pikcachu. Is there any that I am missing for the lights I plan on changing? I just want to be sure I have everything covered. I will keep doing my research to figure out which one is in which. Just want to be sure I'm not missing anything obvious. Thanks!

SL is supposed to be Schlusslicht (rear light, the 2 for the "inner part" normally)
NSL is NebelSchlussLeuchte (rear fog light)
RFS is RückFahrScheinwerfer (backing up light)
FRA is FahrRichtungsAnzeiger v=vorne h=hinten (indicator v=front, h=rear)

the others I don't know right now
I think there should also be SL_1 for the outer part of the light, shouldnt it?

I asked this in another section but haven't gotten a response. Hopefully there will be more traffic here:

Is there a way to code the car such that the 12v socket turns off immediately or at least shorter than the default time it takes for the socket to turn off? I have a phone that I leave in the pocket in front of the cup holders constantly plugged in right now that is set to go into airplane mode and display off when no power is detected. Problem is, when the car is off but power is still on, the phone stays awake and you can see the screen on from outside the car. I want to minimize that as much as possible.

[Nito310]

So I finally got around to coding my lights. Thanks pikcachu and pousa13 for your info. It helped greatly.

For anyone interested in coding your lights after you change them to LED's here is what you need to code in order to stop the light check aka light flickering. Keep in mind I only changed the front turn signals, the rear turn signals, reverse lights, and all the brake lights. Oh and my car is a 15 M235i.

Front Turn Signals
FEM BODY/3061/FRA_V
Both left and rightside each indicated with an L or a R.
So for example to do the left side it would be FRA_V_L and the right would be FRA_V_R. For each you need to code the following to to the values in bold. The xxx's would be replaced by whichever light you're doing whether it be FRA_V_R or FRA_V_L.


xxx_x_x_KALTUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv
xxx_x_x_WARMUEBERWACHUNG - set to nicht_aktiv
xxx_x_x_IS_LED set to aktiv


All the others are below. You do the same procedure as above for each light and for each side Left and Right.

REM/3061/SL_2
REM/3061/BL
REM/3061/BFD
REM/3061/NSL
REM/3061/RFS
REM/3061/FRA_H

The front turn signals are the only ones found in the FEM BODY/3061. The rest are in REM/3061.

I'm asking as have EDC M135i on my car and aftermarket springs already installed. Dinan shockware doesnt work for Mx35i and F8X m cars, yet m235i EDC OEM MP springs and bumpstops - below - is retrofittable by BMW dealers.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=03_2923

Not sighted BMW installation instructions “EBA 2336517” but dealer says the EDC needs to be recoded to suit the springs.

As this kit is meant for M235i, my dealer saying it can be coded on my m135i eventhough EDC module is the same.

I'd be keen to sharpen up the EDC to suit shorter firmer springs hence why I'm interested to know if it can be done via coding.

Thanks in advance....

UPDATE

Folks,

Found the EBA for MP suspension install here and it confirms that MP suspension for adaptive does exist and that VDC needs to be coded.

Document is from 2012 but it indicates to code the car with ISTA/P (Program+code).

Would be interesting to know what option code this retrofit coding needs to be added on to, so that it can be enabled more easily with esys on top of ISTA/P.......

Anybody ??

The document explains it is SZP5A BMW Performance suspension. Are you looking for a different code than ZP5.

Hi Shawn,

I'm coding luddite TBH.

My car has the adaptive option SA 2VF so would SZP5A be seen as an add-on to this option ??

I am not sure if 2VF is inclusive of ZP5 or not. My gut tells me it is.

I need somebody more gifted than me to dial into my car and seek out if ZP5 is an "activ/nicht activ" option.....

Thanks for the steer.

ZP5 is just for Ordering / EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) for knowing which Part Numbers are needed for car with M-Sport Suspension. It is not for coding, which is why document explains that "This retrofit does not require coding", unless you have 2VF Adaptive Suspension. In case of 2VF, you should just need to VO Code VDC Module with original FA after installation of M-Sport Suspension to reset VDC Module.

[Bee Pee]

Shawn,

Above is scree dump of VDC ecu and there is a setting for the M_competition/High - that might be the answer and/or the Adapt_M_FW.

I haven't changed any setting yet so can't report any changes.

Thoughts ?

I think I just broke my neck looking at your picture...

I also think it is what I wrote above. Just VO Code VDC with original FA. I don't think any FDL Code changes are needed.

So I am not sure what is going on but I am unable to connect to my vehicle. Any thoughts as to what to do? I followed instructions to the T on install of the software according to the E-Sys Instruction Procedure. FIrst take no connection so then I turned off all of my firewalls ad anti visur to ensure nothing was blocking it the connection but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are your Connection Targets showing or is Windows Empty?
