My experience with a laptop GT1 - Page 29

Tried to do some stuff to my friends X5, but couldnt get anything done, kept complaing about the DSP module.. since his amp is blown and disconnected, couldnt get the CKM to even show up.

15 amp is merely enough, 20 - 25 amp will be better.

Can anyone confirm that 14.6V will be ok? I have bought a 70amp unit but have the option of choosing my voltage. The Deutronic unit is 14.2V @ 45 amps.

Weasel,
With lots of help from Jose and I mean lots of help I was able to get my GT-1 going.
I have a couple of question and hopefully you will have the answers.

I ran DIS on my 2006 X5 and got a TCU Telematic Control Unit failure.
Diagnosis bus error unknown control module variant.
Fault Number 200.102

I ran the “Coding/Program” portion of the DIS Program Car Memory and received the following:
A fault occurred during determination in the Control Unit TCU
Measures: Recode Control Unit TCU. If the coding index is not correct – Update ZCS/FA

I would assume you can recode the TCU under the programming section of the Coding Program?
I didn’t go any further then to read out the error code at this time.

Sounds like you are using the older version of DIS/GT1 software, (v43) which works great and all, but is a few years outdated. If the TCU was replaced recently it has much newer software than the GT1 which is why it says "unknown module variant". If you switch to the GT1 v55 or v56 it should do better with communicating with the TCU.

And I wouldn't try programming the TCU with the older software, you would need the latest progman software as that is probably what they used at the dealer.

Weasel,
Yes I was using V-43.
I have Progman SSS version 32.0.0 dated 2/13/09 which has SSS Base XPE 3.1.0 dated 9/16/09.
This program was on the HD that I received from Yoho when I purchased the GT1 back in June.
I have not been able to get this program (SSS) to run on my T-30 using Yoho HD or on my laptop using either the VMware player or work station.
The T-30 sees the head but displays a question mark over the head. The Vmware programs don’t show it at all.
The DIS (V-55) portion of the program works great on both computers.
Jose was saying that Riaz may have a solution for the Vmware SSS configuration.

Anyway the question I have is what will happen if I remove the TCU module from the system?
I have no use for a Bluetooth, matter of fact I seldom even use a phone in the car at all.
If the quick test doesn’t see it, will it continue on its merry way and allow parameter changes or does it have to be removed from the computer software list?
At present it will not allow me to do any coding changes until TCU problem is corrected.

if the TCU is bringing down the K-bus, you can just disconnect it, no other modules except the MRS module will be looking for it. If the TCU wont code, or diagnois, than i would attemp to repair it with the MOXA(outdated now but still repairs TCU's) If the tcu does not even show up on a short test, disconnect it for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. and then try to diagnois it.

It would need to be removed from the software list, otherwise the vehicle will have communication faults for it.

I guess what would help you the most would be getting the progman (SSS) up and running then you can go from there.

For those still in the hunt for a battery charger, I was speaking to the local BMW dealer yesterday and they have now been told by BMW to go to the Deutronic DBL1200 which puts out 14.8V, 80 amps.

NBTBRV8 · #10 10-17-2009, 05:41 AM

I've got my Durst power supply which is very good 14.6V @ 70 amps and everything seems to work fine. For the life of me I can't find where you reset the service interval display for an E32.

Can anyone help me?
