Coding is alive and well. Not sure what you mean about E-Sys having lots of problems.

i think only difficulty is getting E-Sys Launcher PRO from TokenMaster, as he is unavailable for extended periods of time. As an alternative to Launcher PRO, you can use E-SysX:

Info@esysx.com
http://esysx.com/

As for a VM, you cannot run Launcher or E-SysX in a VM.

So I had issues indeed with getting E-Sys Launcher Pro up and running on my up-to-date machine. It expires in April 2020.

Now, here's what I've done:

I have created a VM, that has its time set to June 2019, with a version of Windows that came out on May 2019. In that I have installed TokenMaster Pro.

The machine doesn't sync it's time, meaning if I shut it down and the machine thinks it is June 5th 2019, 8pm and I boot it up 3 days later it is June 5th 2019, 8:03pm. The time moves, forward, but only when the machine is booted.

I have set the SMBIOS.reflectHost to FALSE in VMWare to make sure that TokenMaster can't detect that we are running on a VM.

I will do a full write-up on this later this week.

This works with E-Sys 2.27.1 RC and the latest data.

The NCD tool is flaky though, it seems to have issues with the latest data, and there is no workaround.

Now, reason why I am doing this is as follows:

1) can I generate an NCD with an FA, SVT and data for an ECU without the car?
2) can I compare an NCD with another one, to see the impact of an VO?

Yes, and yes.

Great.

Are you interested in the VM solution?

Thanks, but I have working Launcher PRO 3.x and E-SysX, so I'm good.

pikcachu do you know if you can code the 2er to use mobile sim internet via bluetooth instead of the BMW sim card in the car? I saw this suggested in another BMW forum.

No idea really.

To all you coding gurus:

I'm just about ready to code for the first time! I got my cable, readied my laptop, and visited the Bimmerfest "Coding: (No Request) Latest Software Links" page.

The E-sys suite downloaded sucessfully, extracted files and created the directory tree. I then downloaded PSdZData ok but when I went to extract the files, 7-Zip threw up a "Unsupported command" error, stating the path ok but showing a filename different from the one downloaded. It has a ".7z" extension. 7-Zip stops here.

So I went skimming around all 2 thousand posts to this thread and find out the newest E-sys is version 3.28, not 3.27.1 on the link. And I find PSdZData_Lite_v4.21.32 is not the latest either.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Anyone know where I can get the latest and greatest? Thanks...

The latest is not necessarily the greatest. I still FDL Code with E-Sys 3.27.1., and your E-Sys version must be compatible with your E-Sys launcher solution. PM sent.

You can't. It does not work in F2x/F3x with newer firmware.

If car has factory Alarm System (DWA), yes, its codeable.

Try this:

Akkustische Quittierung Schaerfen = aktiv

[corby59]

I ´ve tried it, but no bip when I close the car.
If I code : Akkustische Quittierung Entschaerfen = aktiv
I have 2 bips when I open the car.
If I code too : Akkustische Quittierung Schaerfen = aktiv
I have 3 bips when I open the car.

Hi shawnsheridan, no i don't have the menu in idrive.

Same thing if i try to code other line in FZD.

Hi my friend,

i reinstall my windows 10 backup to a new SSD on my DELL Laptop, reinstall Esys etc... but same thing, i have the infinite progress bar....

So i decided to create a dual boot with a Windows7,install Esys etc... and.... Bingo !! the coding is now OK !!

I think it's because the update 2004 has installed on the WIN10.
But now i have a good solution, if i want to code, i boot on WIN7 and i boot on Win10 for personnal usage.

Thank you for your help shawnsheridan
