This seems like an much easier alternative to what seems to me like a complicated process - coding.

From my research, there are clearly more options available to code than bimmertech offers, and I figure a motivated DIY'er could get everything they offer, coded, for less $$

wow, a $1000 to activate all those features that you can do for free with e-sys and some research?

I'd give it to them that they made it as easy as plugging in the USB drive for some coding but not worth that much.

There's a ton on eBay to choose from, this one was just cheap. The included CD was blank with mine, but it doesn't matter since you'd want the latest software anyway. Just ask for the software in the main coding thread, somebody'll oblige. In the thread there are nice tutorials on coding with a sweet spreadsheet on known codeable things.

You can also make your own if you're so inclined, here's a link to a PDF on how: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...0&d=1339310761

Thanks!

Are they all RJ45?

And I'm assuming windows only? Can I get this to work with a VM?

There are lots of places. I sell them and you can get on Amazon or Ebay.

ENET (OBDII to RJ45): Fxx-/Ixx-/Gxx-series, Mini, & Rolls-Royce
K+DCAN (OBDII to USB): E-series

Software runs on Windows 7-10. Supposedly newest launcher now supports XP, but have not tested. You can run on VM, but you will need activation code from Tokenmaster for Launcher.

I've started using the "Bimmercode" app which makes it incredibly easy. There is also an expert mode which allows you to do many of things that e-sys has.

Thank you for posting this. I purchased the Vgate wifi icar2 along with BimmerCode and i had the same luck. Works very well to my surprise. I have roughly $50 in it between the obd2 dongle and app purchase. Worth every penny and i highly recommend based on my personal experience.

Need advice/help.

Had a tire come apart on my E93 and the spinning steel belts ripped thru my wheel well inside cover on the passenger rear and tore out my TPMS receiver. After this incident, my iDrive controller knob and buttons don't work. Display is frozen. Bluetooth to my iphone still works, but I can't change modes (NAV etc) due to idrive controller on console not working.

I installed a new TMPS receiver RDC and wired it back correctly I think. I suspect it needs coding, but I'm not sure what that means or how to do it. Want to learn so I don't have to pay the shop to do this for me.

tried rebooting the idrive with the vol control push method.... gets me back to a frozen state. knobs and buttons still don't work.

I suspect I need to reinitialize my idrive somehow. Can I do that with eSYS or some other DIY method?

E-sys is for Fxx/Ixx/Gxx-series.

ISTA+ can be be used on all BMW's.

Change 6NH to 6NS, VO code NBT, FDL code microphone number back to one.
