@ Almaretto

I was able to make some coding changes, but still can't get the Cheat Codes to load into the launcher.

What exactly should I be doing when I see the almaretto.xml file on Github?

I right clicked on it, saved the link, and then placed the .xml file in the correct folder. But when I click on the xml file and open it in Internet Explorer, I just see

bmw-f/Almaretto.xml at master · packetpilot/bmw-f · GitHub

No lines of code.

What am I doing wrong?

Click on Almaretto.xml. You will see header with "2531 lines (2530 sloc) 127 KB." Copy text below within box and paste in text document and save as xml.

Below is the image of the XML file I created in notepad, by copying and pasting the lines of code from the XML file on Github

The above image is what I see when I open the XML file up in Internet Explorer

So, I must be doing something wrong here, any additional assistance is greatly appreciated.

You guys are incredibly advanced at this, or maybe I'm just old. It's both really.

I've been fighting with this all day trying to update to latest software which I finally got and I can connect now.

When I go to code the BDC_ body... all the folders are blank there's no wording at all, in any language.

This is the only module that I found like that.

Anybody have any clue?

I had a similar issue, my BDC_Body,HKFM2 and HU_NBT2 folders only displayed periods and no names.



I re-read the 1st page and realized I forgot to deselect Update "VCM after TAL execution" and "Update MSM after TAL execution". After I deselected those, all the folders were displaying correctly instead of displaying "."

Also, my memory requirement was set at 2048mb, so I changed that to 1024mb, maybe that helped too.

Options > Settings > Program: Memory Requirement.

Maybe give that a try.

Will do thanks!!

I know I changed them ... but that was prior to deleting all the programs and reloading them.

I can't recall if I checked them, the second time.

Sorry, but no way. Update MSM and Update VCM have NOTHING to do with Trimmed PSdZdata CAFD Mapping.

If CAFD Mapping is missing, it can only be either you do not use E-Sys Launcher to open E-Sys, or E-Sys Launcher has Incorrect Car Series, or E-Sys has Incorrect Target Connections. There is no other possible cause.

I don't have an understanding on how coding works, but those were the only things I did differently to the others time I tried and it somehow miraculously worked.

Not saying it could work for him, but worth a try.

I understand you believe this to be what worked for you, but it simply is not the case, and there was something else going on with your situation. These two Options are not related at all to CAFD Mapping, and they can either be checked or unchecked, and CAFD Mapping will work fine either way.

I can't recall changing any other settings except those.

That time around, it was after I just had my MPPK installed, do you think that may have affected anything?

No. MPPK would only affect DME, bot BDC Module.

Ah I see, guess I'll backtrack and see what else I did differently.

Car need KAFAS Camera, a 7E SLI FSC Enabling Code, and then it can be coded.

I have the Driver Assistance Package (HUD +rear view) with Surround View cameras and the upgraded LED headlight, does that mean I have the required camera? I am not sure of what a "KAFAS Camera, a 7E SLI FSC" is.

Thanks for your assistance!

Not above 63 kmh (39 mph). For VIM with no Speed Restriction, only commercial solution exists.

If you have 5AS or 5AT, then yes, you have KAFAS Camera as they include Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and Pedestrian Warning, all of which are KAFAS functions.

So you need 7E SLI FSC Code and Coding, which is possible. PM sent.
