Just to make sure about pszdata_v3.60.1.003_lite, is this the correct one to use for my car ? Is that the latest ? Or do I still need to compare versions with my car ? I`m a little confused about that part...

3.60.1.003 is the latest. You need Psdzdata >= vehicle I-Step.

So I should be good. I`m thinking if I was able to read my car data I should be good with coding it ?

I`m going to try this tonight!

Still don't seem to be able to connect via Vin in E-Sys. Thank you so much !

I am starting coding for the first time on my 2015 X5 35d.

I have a very similar setup to PlayTookies; MacBook Air with Parallels running a Windows 10 VM. I have a new Plugable USB-Ethernet adapter.
When I launch E-Sys and try to connect, the 'Connect by VIN' is grayed out and is not selectable.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

As long as you can read your vehicle files, then you can code.

Psdzdata is just there so you can interpret your vehicle files. Updating is only necessary if Service flash programs vehicle to higher level then you have installed.

I do not use MAC, but can you connect to anything else? Do you need drivers so adapter works?

bms5 · 11-18-2016, 10:05 PM

I installed the drivers for the adapter and it shows up as operating properly in Device Manager.
I'll try to use it for internet connection and report back.

Thank you.

UPDATE

No problem accessing internet within the Windows VM so adapter and cabling are fine.

Should I do a fresh install of E-Sys? Any other suggestions?

Make sure you have the Network Adapter configuration in Parallels, set to Bridged Network mode.

Thanks for the suggestion: Bridge Mode was selected. I can access internet just fine within Windows so I'm not sure what's happening......

Hello,

Quick question about folding mirrors on CA. I changed all the suggested settings, and from key works instant, on CA still have to hold for a second or so. Is that expected, I understood that there was no delay any more when set KOMFORT_SCHLIESSEN to 00.

Every vehicle is slightly different. There is not a separate initiation delay for CA and keyFOB. For me, CA just feels like I have to hold a 1/2 to full second longer because it is a firm press compared to physical button.

Yeah it feels that way, like a little delayed... Thanks.

So, I might be overthinking this once again, but I have a last question on best practices.
Yesterday I coded a lot of stuff, somethings are not working, but they are not crucial and were just nice to have, few examples are zoom on turns navi and temp along with PSI for tires. Maybe they will start working ? But if they dont is it best to revert the settings on those items ? Or it does hurt to leave them as is now?

The zoom on navi only works for me on the right side of the split screen as you approach a turn/exit.

The tire pressure/temperature should be working immediately. If it's not, I would recheck your coding and/or recode the setting.

I`ll check Zoom again with the split screen while driving. The tire pressure/temp I changed was this HU_NBT 3001 RDC_DRUCK_TEMP to druck_und_temperatur.

I`ll double check it again, but besides that, if something does not work via coding is the best practice to revert back to original settings or is it ok to leave it ?

What country are you in? I thought I read that some countries received different sensors that could not produce a temperature.

I`m in US. I`m waiting for my wify to get back with the car to check if I coded the right thing. I`m might of coded CIC RDC_Safety and thats it... I have an NBT... So this might be my mistake...

I would check your coding. I'd be willing to bet you goofed up and when you read your ECM, your going to see that some of the coding you thought you did isn't actually saved to the vehicle.

Yeah I`ll double check. Thanks.

Were you able to figure out out?

Yeah, made a mistake, did it for CIC and not NBT. Got it going now.

Quick question about initial animation/splash, if thats set to black(or blank) does that speed up the boot time ?

Removing disclaimers speeds up boot time. There are also additional settings for HUD and head unit boot time. But, the thing that takes the most time is the initialization of GPS; other menus work fine in the meantime.

Took those off.. Debating if I want a nice animation logo or make it even faster boot... I guess will play around with combinations.

Thanks for the help

...... Very productive weekend. Got everything setup for this car! Oh and Maps didnt even need FSC code go figure
