Bringing the BMW community together. 12) When you use NCSEXPER (with BMW Coding tools) you will load the profile 'FSW PSW MAN' (this is the only one that would work for me). 13) Your desktop should have Both BMW Coding tools and the NCS Expert programs there. If not they are in your programs (BMW Coding tools) and in C: NCSEXPER64 BIN NCSEXPER.exe for NCS Expert.

What is Coding?

It is a process utilized by BMW, which groups system specific operating requirements (Data) together and then assigns a label/code to each of these groups of data. The various groups of data are all pre-loaded into system specific 'codable' control modules, along with a basic set of operating instructions (Program).

There are various types of operating requirements such as; O2 sensors, emissions controls, fuel type, Manual or Auto transmission.

The procedure of assigning one specifically labeled group of data to the operating program of a specific control module/component is referred to as 'coding'. Coding allows a specific set of data already present in the module to be selected.

A 'codable' control module has a basic operating program already installed along with several specific variations of operating data. The coding process allows a specific set of operating data to be assigned to the basic operating program of that module/component, with respect to its specific application.

Coding can be performed for some systems/components via ISTA/P or the older DIS/Plus/GT1/SSS device. By entering a variant code via the device, selecting customer specific operational settings from a list of available features (VKM) or automatically by selecting a specific coding process.

Note: Codable control modules/components are system specific, which means that not all control modules are codable.

What is Programming?

It is a process utilized by BMW to load application/system specific operating instructions. Programming loads control functions instructions into a specific control module.

(Program) into a module/component which already has the systems operating requirements (Data) installed, plus it can be used as a means of updating data and operating instructions previously installed in a control module. Basic programmable control modules have a pre-defined set of operating data already installed which allows the module to be fairly generic until a specific operational program is installed.

The ability to program a module is limited to the number of times it has already been programmed and the hardware version of the control module itself.

What is I-level (or Integration Level)?

The ECU's in a BMW are not meant to be updated individually, rather as a collection which BMW tested and knows all work fine together. The collective version number of all programmed ECU's is called the I-level, or Integration level (German: I-stufe). The term I-level was adopted by BMW around the year 2004 and applies only to lines which were in development/production in 2004 or after (E60, E70, E90, etc.).

The I-level is a set of numbers that looks like E89X-11-09-410. The first part represents the chassis group, which is followed by the year and month of the release and a build number for that release. So, E89X-11-09-410 would mean an E80/E90, 09/2011, version 410.

You will often see a set of two I-levels, something like E89X-05-10-026, E89X-11-09-410. In this case the first set is called the Factory I-level, or the level with which the car left the factory, and the second the Dealer Organization I-level, or the current version programmed by the dealer.

For coding only:BMW ENET cable is ok

There are basically two ways to get the ENET cable. You can buy a complete cable, or you can simply build one.

DIY an ENET cable BMW with the help of the how-to's (Google 'DIY enet cable'; it's easy to find guides you wan)- it's a piece of cake for you if you're equipped with technique. You can have a try and then decide to whether buy a complete one.

Don't spend too much on it- that is, just buy a cheap knock-off online:

I wouldn't recommend other sites, although they may work, problem is that they have not been confirmed working yet.

For coding & programming: you must have a BMW ICOM emulator (ICOM A2 or ICOM Next). Also, if you have a new BMW or wanna use the tool for future cars, you should have bmw icom.

f30 coding manual:

The steps of BMW F series ECU flash…. Just remember to identify the dependencies and select appropriately in step 15 in the below procedure.

When flashing involves ZGW it is widely said that the ZGW module should be updated BEFORE other

modules. The TAL (transaction list) generated by E-Sys should take care of this. But if you want, you could

flash the ZGW all by itself and then restart and do the rest. The steps remain the same.

Flashing all modules at once is also as easy as flashing individual modules. Just select all the modules in step

15 (still blFlash, swDeploy, cdDeploy, and ibaDeploy columns)

HU_CIC Depends (PreRequisites) on: 38 + 14 (BOTH ZGW)

KOMBI Depends on: 38 + 10 + 14 + 53 + 57 (ZGW + HU_CIC + ZGW + CMB_MEDIA + HU_CIC)

CMB_MEDIA Depends on: 57 (HU_CIC)

ZGW does not have dependencies.

How to identify dependencies in E-SYS interface:

Open TAL IN TAL Editor, and it will show you under ECU (TalLine_ID) if it has any PreRequisite ECU (TalLine_ID's).

As you can see here, TalLine_ID=13 (Kombi) has a PreRequisite of TalLine_ID=11 (HU_CHAMP):

HU_CIC:

KOMBI:

CMB_MEDIA:

ZGW:

Here are the basic steps:

Go to Comfort Mode => TAL-Calculating
– Read and Save FA
– Activate FA
– Read and Save SVT Actual as SVT_ist
– Create an SVT Target
Under KIS/SVT Target Calculation Strategy, select Complete Flash
Select I-Step (shipm.) to match your original I-Level as read and shown in VCM I-Step (Shipment)
I-Step (target.) will be unselectable as it is fixed based on current PSdZData I-Level
Do a KIS/SVT Target Calculation and Save as SVT_soll
– Do a TAL Calculation and Save as SVT_tal

Go to Expert Mode => TAL-Processing
Load TAL (SVT_tal)
Load SVT Target (SVT_soll)
Select 'Read FA' button.
Check radio button for 'read VIN out of FA'
On ECU Tab, uncheck let top box in column 'All' (All checked boxes should toggle to unchecked)
On ID Base Row for Kombi, make check boxes in blFlash, swDeploy, cdDeploy, and ibaDeploy columns.
Press Check software availability
Press Start and it will proceed with processing TAL to flash Kombi with new firmware.

Please go on your reading for details.

1. Connect external charger (at least 50AMPs, preferably 70AMPs) to the car battery. Connect laptop to power supply. This step is essential!
2. Turn lamp switch to parking light – this will keep the ignition on beyond 20 minutes.

Turn light switch to Parking Lamp On – first position/stop to the right.

Please refer to Appendix B for further info regarding the light switch and the 20

minutes.

1. Connect via 'Connection via Gateway URL'

In the Connection window, select the ‘Connection via gateway URL' instead of via VIN, and use the car's IP address with the default port number 6801.
Passed with flying colors

(else flashing ZGW will fail)

1. Select Comfort Mode TAL Calculating

1. Read and save FA

1. Activate FA

1. Read and save SVT Actual as 'SVT_ist'

1. Create an SVT Target:
2. Select Complete Flash

1. Select I-Step (shipm.) to match vehicles shipment I-Step level
2. Select Expert Mode VCM button

1. On the right bottom box, select 'Master' tab

iii. In I-Steps box, click on 'Read' button.

1. Integration Steps boxes above will be populated with the data. Note down the IStep

(Shipment).

1. I-Step (target.) will be unselectable as it is fixed based on current PSdZData I-Level. Select

the appropriate level in I-Step (shipm.) as obtained in step above

1. Do a KIS/SVT Target Calculation and Save as 'SVT_soll'

1. Do a TAL Calculation and Save as 'SVT_tal'

1. Go to Expert Mode TAL-Processing

1. Load TAL [SVT_tal) created in step 8.e

1. Load SVT Target ('SVT_soll') created in step 8.d

1. Click the 'Read FA' button

this will result in the FA_aus_VCM.xml file:

1. Check radio button for 'read VIN out of FA' and click the 'Read VIN' button

1. On ECU Tab, uncheck let top box in column 'All' (All checked boxes should toggle to unchecked)

1. On ID Base Row for HU_CIC, CMB_MEDIA, KOMBI and ZGW check the boxes in blFlash, swDeploy,

cdDeploy, and ibaDeploy (please see Appendix C) columns.

1. Press Check software availability (this, among other, ensures that you have the correct PSdZdata

and the FULL version of them)

1. Press Start and it will proceed with processing TAL to flash Kombi with new firmware

1. Cross your fingers and watch it work

END. That's all above BMW F30 coding with BMW ENET E-sys software.
