Dennis, did you forget the old remedy for flu? russian bath, oak "veniks", a good woman to apply the "venik" to your back and a bottle of vodka... ICE cold vodka... I prefer Grey Goose, but Platinum Russian Standard is good too

coding the E90, eh?.. let me try...

I Tried the vodka bath thing on Thursday. Worked till last night. Now I have the shakes and want to kill myself.

Ok heading to the garage.

Ok confirming,

PWM_FL_BIX is what I have set to wert_01. Original TRC file has this set to wert_02. So yea we deff have that in the LCM module.

it is at the bottom of the function listings, almost next to last line on the LCM... The car clock synched to Nav is in KMBI - I just could not remember where it was, just reconfirmed a few moments ago...

A question to our Canadian friends with a facelifted E53 -

since the DLR is active on your cars, can you tell me if the Angel Eyes (factory installed) are ON when the DLRs are on, or if they are OFF.

Thank you

They are OFF. They come ON with the parking lights or xenon.

That what I suspected... thank you... the search continues...

I checked again and don't have it. It must be a added revision in later lcm's. I've pm'd terraphantom on another board as he is a bit of an lcm coding guru. I don't want to mess with a new lcm either.

in the newer cars the line actually reads FL_BIXENON... in mine, it did not - i just stumbled across that line by accident, and we changed the value from 02 to 01 in hopes that it would work...

do a search in your file for anything that has FL in it - the FL is the highbeams... it could be that the line in yours is coded with different verbiage...

Hey guys, doing some coding in the next week. Did anybody ever find a line for the one touch triple blink signal indicator? In other words, Audi has that feature when you press down or up on the signal stalk and release it, it blinks three times and stops. Love to have that.

Here ya go:

The only ones I dont recognize are the PWM ones, but those are for each light (every light has its own line)

anyone know what that last one is? Enable US SBR?

PWM - Pulse Width Modulation, way of controlling the intensity of the lights
ANSTEUERUNG - controlling... what it means, i have no idea,

your file does not have highbeams and the xenons... i wonder if that line is hidden under other names - is there anything in your file with BIX?

also, I wonder, what happens when the values in the FL PWM changed from 01 to 02...

Are you willing to look further in your file? getting a new LCM could be costly and also requires programming of the mileage into the new module, to avoid the tamper dot... might not be worth it...

dudes I'll be getting coded this weekend by a local (thanks for the invite to Brooklyn slick but we'll have to do it another time, I'm about an hour from Brooklyn and with my weekends i'm using my time as efficient as possible!) and I found most of the options I'd like to get done in this thread:

1) fog lights stay on with high beams
2) cold monitoring for tail lights, license plate lights, and reverse lights off
3) key in ignition gong off when door is open
4) euro double blink hazards

I'd also like to be able to press one button on my key fob and unlock all doors, does anyone know the line/module for this?

Other than that I'm set as the other options I'll most likely pass on. Are there any not-lighting related things I could get programmed?

I know you can do windows roll up/down with remote, I'll pass on that. Can we override the windows so that even if the door is open the auto-up/down function works (doesnt right now)

Also I know Terminator had his computer shitted up by the kids, but we were also going to look into whether there was a line for windshield wipers if we could make them work like VW, when the car is off you press the stalk down once and it pops the wipers up vertical, a "service position" instead of pressing the stalk down with the key in the on position and shutting it off when the wipers get to top.

OK Slick if you could update this thread that would be great:

On the list of items that you originally posted, the Cold Monitoring for tail lights was posted to avoid the startup flicker. I had that coded nicht_aktiv, but still had startup flicker. When we looked further into the file and translated it all, we also found another line which I am trying to remember how it was spelled, but it translated to "cold monitoring left rear standing light" and "cold monitoring right rear standing light", which we also had to set to nicht_aktiv and now I am happy to report my startup flicker of my LED tail lights is GONE!



Also, I did have my buddy code that LED_REUCHLICHT option to aktiv, although I still have my capacitors plugged into my taillights it has no negative affects.

I can unplug a capacitor temporarily later on with my parking lights on and see if the adaptive brake light flickering still happens if you guys want, that way you can update the option as "tested"

you were a busy bee this morning!!!

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I will update soon. I also have a much better list at home since I have coded quite a few e53s already.

Just wondering how your updated list is coming along? As I'm about to try some coding and are considering the various options...:tapping:

Did you try disconnecting a capacitor to see if the adaptive brake light flickering still happens? :dunno:

I can try that later on this evening and report back, no problem, sorry I've been meaning to test this.

In the meantime, calling NCSExpert users:

Can you look into the LCM programming file to see what lines come out with "NSL" for rear fog lights, and paste them here, if possible translated using NCSDummy so I can see what they mean? I have my rear fogs wired up but they do not light up so I am thinking there is a line to activate them...

Wow, keep forgetting to update this. Yes there is a line for rear fog lights. And they were active on mine from the factory.

I'll try to remember to boot up my laptop in garage and get my list from there.

Denis, long time no see... how are you? are you coming to the MD for the July meet??

Thanks Denis,

I'm fairly certain there is a line which is active, I think there may be an additional line needing to be changed in order to get them working however.


UPDATE 6/10/13:

Change NSL_US_OPTION (or something close to that verbiage) to "nicht_aktiv" and you will have factory operating rear fogs from pins 10 and 12 of the trailer harness, no trailer module necessary!

Has anyone found how to get to the settings for lane change blinking? In the E46 and E39, the GM3 has the "CYCL_TI_BLK" parameter, but I can't find it anywhere in my GM3 or even LCM. Am I just out of luck?

May I suggest something?

Is there a way to make the final list, as we know it today, into a sticky?

That would be a tremendous help for those of us just starting into coding the car!

Thank you!

+1000

:iagree:

not an available option in our LCM

I've had to accept that fact, so I've spent the last 2 days programming the middle finger of my left hand to do the same job. Still has a few glitches, but I may have it debugged by the weekend...

:bustingup

Gentlemen, please bear with me, I am new to all this. Today, I managed to program my 2005 X5 3.0d to lock its doors when I start driving it (I think it locks the dors above 20km) and I also managed to have it blink twice at me, when I unlock it!!! So pleased with it.

Now, I need to do a couple more things, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

1. Locking is fine, but how on earth do I make it to unlock the doors, when I switch off the engine? I assume there is a parameter for that, somewhere, but I haven't a clue what it is. Could someone tell me what that parameter is, and in which module?

2. I would like to have the driver's seat move to its predefined position, depending on the key used to unlock the car. Again, any one knows which module I should edit and which parameter?

I enable #2 with SSSProgmanV32 so I do not have exact parameter in NCSExpert. If I were you, I would read the GM with NCSExpert and use NCSDummies to find the parameter. NCSDummies can be download in bimmerforums/Diagnostic Software section.
If you're not sure how, email me your TRC file and I will try to find the parameter for you.

Our generation BMWs do have a lane change feature on our turn indicators...but instead of the "press & release" activation like on the new generation (MOST BUS) BMWs...ours is the decades old gentle "press & hold" of the turn indicator. If you press & hold the turn indicator instead of pushing it all the way into the detent (for a dedicated turn) the blinkers will flash as long as the turn indicator is held...then you release the handle after changing lanes and the flashing stops.

Again, don't press/push the turn indicator past the detent that keeps the indicators flashing while you release the handle. This is the lane change feature on our generation BMW. :)

do a google search and/or forum search for eLight module - it is a microprocessor, from a company in germany, that allows you to do just that - unlock the doors with key out and some other things... a bit pricey, though...

Yes, I've found these products. For what I want, I do not think it is worth it. But thank you anyway!

Denis you can update your coding list when you get a chance, I got this coded yesterday and along with the hardwiring of the rear fog lights to their respective wires from the Trailer harness that is in our trunks, I now have factory operating rear fog lights:

NSL_AH_US_OPTION - set to "nicht_aktiv"

Term, were you able to get your AE's to function as DRLs? If not, I will be joining you in your search for the line of code. Just got my coding gear last night.

the AE a la DRL is on a back burner - i was busy running the power inverters for 110 V under the seats, got the rear fogs working (thanks to RickyBobby, his help and motivation kept me moving), and i am sourcing things for the on-board 8-channel DVR - just found an audio/video/power cable, which i am going to order...

and with the AEs - i have LED housings that I was going to experiment with different LEDs to see if that will be any better...

If you find the coding, it will be great!!!:thumbup:

Anyone in CT or MA that can do some coding for me? Obviously will pay you for your time.

If no one around then let me know I can do it remotely and I can ship my cable also.

Can someone whose RLS is working correctly post a trace from their GM3?

Also interested in coding, I'm in Northern California.

Let me know if you are interested in remote coding and I can ship my cable.

We code using NCSExpert, not BMW Scanner.

Seems more and more people are popping up with this BMW scanner when its not a factory software and I don't know what it does lol!

The Romanian software package many of us have bought from Ebay comes with DIS/GT1 for diagnostics as well as INPA, NCSExpert for coding, and SSSProgman for some factory coding options if you choose to use it

NCSExpert is much more powerful than BMW Scanner

tmv is right. I have both and there is a limited set of options in bmw scanner than you find in NCS although bmw scanner is much easier to use if you don't want to do complicated stuff. Mostly, bmw scanner has pretty much all you need for basic coding.

Hey is it possible to code out your speed limiter for the non sport n62 4.4?

Or any way to make the car think its a sport 4.4

For that you need WinKFP to flash the DME with the sport firmware. It's an easy job. Send me your existing firmware number and I can look for the sport one.

Are you looking for a k-line trace? I don't know how to. If you know how let me know.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, in which case my apologies!..but has anyone successfully set up DIS/GT1 through VMware running windows 7 pro (64bit)? INPA is working beautifully, but I can't get DIS to connect?! I'm thinking it has something to do with how the virtual network ip's are set up (or not)...but I'm way outta my realm on this one! It's the same suite everyone else gets from our romanian pal...any input?

X5SND,

I had the same problem when I was installing mine and I contacted the Romanian pal. He told me to make sure my firewall/Virus protection was off. That did the trick and everything is communicating.

Hmm, I may shoot him a msg tomorrow...I'm calling it for tonight! I went back into Inpa after running the COM utility and now I'm gettin nothin.

Not sure why, but I'll have to deal with it tomorrow.

I have firewall/virus off....when I fire up DIS, it'll initially show both heads connected, but as soon as I touch anything I lose the round head signal.

If all else fails I'll start again with a re-install...thanks though!!

Our Romanian friend can definitely remote to you for troubleshooting if you want to let him "have at it" lol

Im going to spend some time with it today and see if I can't get it working....if not ill contact our friend to see what the best option at that point is. I'd prefer a fresh install and working through it, than someone I don't "know" remoting to my comp....gives me the Heebie jeebies if I'm honest!

I can see how it would be since I forgot you have a bunch of other stuff on it.

If he remoted to my "diagnostic laptop" all he would find is a fresh install of windows, no connection to Wi-Fi automatically (unless I turned it on), and his own software, so I would have no issues with it lol!

Hey guys so ive been looking for cheap windows XP laptops on craigslist and havent got one yet, the reason is because i thought you need Xp for these programs to work, ive downloaded the programs from places, they just didnt work cause i have windows 7..

Went on ebay to see the romnian guy and read at the bottom that IT WILL run on WIN 7?? did they all get updated or something?
"Read fault codes
Erase fault codes
Service intervals reset
Real-time diagnostic lines status view
Code modules
EWS - DME synchronization
Code ECU (daytime running light, seat memory to key, beep after locking)
Register new battery after replacement
Specific part tests (like a lambda or mass air flow sensor
And more...

Functions:
Supports Double K-Line
Detects battery voltage through control line
Detects Ignition
Detects contact via control line
Works on USB port, USB RS-232 adapter not needed

Applications:
Works with INPA Ediabas, NCSExpert, Carsoft, DIS, SSS (Progman) and others
PC requirements :

works on Win XP, Vista & Win7 both 32bit or 64bit
1 USB port
1.6Ghz CPU
1.2Gb RAM
about 34Gb free hdd space
for other questions feel free to ask"

I don't think that the operating system matter. I am running all the programs in windows 8, 64 bit and 32bit and they work.

NCS Expert is not compatible with 64 bits. How did you manage to get it working. That's the only one I couldn't get it to work on 64bit OS.

I didn't have any problem installing the program on 64bit. The only issue that I had was because I didn't turn off my virus protection when I was configuring the COM port. Here is a picture of NCSExpert and my window system. I was not connected to the vehicle for this picture.

Great!!! ill keep in touch once i get my stuff in the mail

Ive encoutered that problem and posted before and, nor was i able to make it work through virtual box


Maybe win 8 is better?

How did you install NCSExpert? Did you followed the DIY instruction here?



Edit: I couldn't upload the NCS DIY, file too big, but you should be able to find it by searching if you don't have it.

Yeah i followed a diy, it was a pdf or something. ill delete all my old things and try everything all over when i get the cable and software from the Romanian guy.

WHats the latest version of SP daten?
i found a 10.2gb V46 does that makes sense?
and ive found a nother one from a mini forum thats only 600 Megabytes.....

The 10GB version most likely also contains daten for nearly every BMW model.

Ok cool, im still learnign the ropes. anyway whats the name of what some of us have on our X5, you turn the key and it starts automatically you dont have to hold the key for the starter to keep spinnign? Auto start? but thats something else i think.

I was wondeing what the name was so that i could enable it in my friends e39 540i manual. Because it was diabled on manual cars for saftey.

I read the first 12 pages of this and then stopped as this question was asked a few times with no answer back then, but does anyone know now where/how to enable/activate the1 press on the signal stalk to get the signal lights to blink 3 times?
is it possible?

DAMN, I just started reading from pg 27 back and just noticed a bunch of ppl saying it is NOT a line to code, therefore the hand is the only way to do it.
OR buy/install the Kahtec lane change device by installing it by the LCM.

Finally got to try NCS Expert. Tried coding some LCM options first.

I want to code flashers on with high beams. However, like jgold I can't find code line PWM_FL_BIX in my LCM read file.

Anyone have the same problem and find a solution?

Hey slick, I've read up to page 21 on this thread to see if anyone elaborated on your post but didn't see any. What do you mean by above statement? Once removed, don't you need a new code to replace it?

BMW X5 4.8iS 2005

Decided to revive this thread with a coding question... I have read hundreds of pages and am finally ready to do some coding.

Thanks - do you know what module that is in?

To just remove the 'I accept ' screen?:

My GM3 module does not have this line in the code. I do have it in the LCM, and have set it to nicht_malden, but the message still appears :dunno:

Any thoughts?
