Do I need to purchase BimmerUtility in order to use Esys to code my vehicle?
For FDL Coding, E-Sys requires a 3rd Party “Mapping” application such as BimmerUtility as it Provides CAFD Mapping. BMW AG made changes to PSdZData beginning with 54.2 PSdZData where they removed (trimmed) all descriptive text from CAFD and FAFP files, making FDL Coding of ECU's difficult, as the FDL Codes can no longer be easily located. The "Mapping" application dynamically maps the trimmed data back into CAFD file making FDL Coding possible. BimmerUtility is NOT needed for VO (FA) Coding nor ECU Programming (Flashing) as these can be performed with E-Sys direct.
