For Mac, it si same, except you must run everything is a Windows VM.

Can I go back and forth between two different cars when coding or do I need to do something special with Esys? I coded my wife's X5, and a few days later tried the X3d, but I kept getting errors while trying to select edit FDL. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

X3 and X5 will use different launcher chassis, but same connection targets. Make sure to clear out C:\data\CAF to avoid confusion. Otherwise, yes, you can go back and forth.

I changed the chasis to F25, but I didn't clean the Data folder. I'll try that tonight.
Thanks!

A handful of us have done this. Feel free to hit me up with any questions about how to set up a VM or get esys working in a VM.

Cleaning data folder is just to avoid confusion when coding ECU's.

The reason you want to choose correct chassis, is for mapping in FDL-Editor and CAF-Viewer. See image:



If you choose chassis other than one listed under FP, you will see all dots.

So I coded 2TB on my X5. The shifts definitely seem sharper, if not by much. I followed the directions and got LC to work as well. Today, while driving back from work, I noticed that the gear indicator kept switching from "D" to M8. It did it on Comfort, sports, and ECO. I tried to pass someone, and the car didn't downshift, so I looked down and noticed it was on M8 again! I had to throw it in SPorts/manual shift and throw it into 6th gear manually. Anyways, anyone else experience this issue before?
Thanks!!!
Btw, here's a picture of me driving on ECO, with the gear indicator showing M8, but the gear lever on normal drive...weird...

If you slide gear shift left vs stay right the behavior should be different. Did you set paddles to nicht_aktiv?

I did not...which module is so I code for the paddles not to be active?

[Neuera09]

It's under BDC Body - PaddlesVerbaut from Active to Inactive - nicht_aktiv

How many boards did you request on? I sent you response and link on two others?

Small question for the coders out there.
I came across this thread on a X1 forum talking about Speed limit assist:
http://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1199420

Apparently the speed limiter will be automatically updated with the detected speed limit.

I do have the Speed limit info package and all the necessary packages on my car as mentioned.
Is this codable on a X5 f15 as well? Already searched the internet but with no luck.

Any help is appreciated!

F48 and F15 use same modules, so yes it is the same.

Drove around the block and voila - it worked. I am not sure on all of the combos are needed but this worked for me.

Note, I added 6NS and removed 8S4 but I don't this had anything to do with it.

My Canadian spec 35d also doesn't have RDC so am I correct that if I add the 4 sensors to the wheels and code as you mention in the post that it will work properly? No other hardware needed?

If you have the plastic stems then pressure if measure by rotations. If you have the metal stems, there are actual sensors. For the ladder, yes, all you must do is add them and code vehicle.
