I had the car coded over a year ago.
Just now started to get "Emergency call system" malfunction or restricted functionality"on a regular basis. I did some research and found this to be a coding-related issue. I hear simply turning off the BMW Assist can fix this. Can anybody recommend me to a coder who can fix this? I have all the psdz data files, esys, and am familiar with how to code. The annual license had just run out. Thanks |

The SOS malfunction, or fault message is indicating a fault in the BMW SOS call system. Faults in this system are not uncommon. Typically the faults are either due to a programming glitch in the system, a fault in the control module or a bluetooth pairing that the system is not “comfortable” with.
The "fix" is to either replace the malfunctioning SOS components or wiring, or have the car coded to remove the SOS functionality. For coding, I believe this is what you do: KOMBI: ST_ECAL_ALIVE & ST_ECAL_TIMEOUT = nicht_aktiv What annual license? |

I'd have the system checked out to make sure there's no hardware fault. Coding out the SOS/E-Call functionality would disable all the safety and emergency services build into the vehicle. Besides, a 2014 model M6 should still be under warranty unless it's just got high mileage on it. |

From what I read on the forums, the reason for this malfunction is the modules aren't getting along with one another. I have some particular values set to active / nicht_active, I guess, that interfere with the SOS module? I would really not like to take it to the dealership and get the coding entirely wiped away. I have the latest software as I've had to re-code the car once already. Referring to the annual license, it is the E-sys that must be renewed every year. I paid $60 per year since 2014 to code the car, and my license expired in September. |

You do not need a token to VO code your modules and erase all customized FDL coding. PM'd Tokenmaster's free token solution. |

E-Sys and E-Sys Launcher Premium will work just fine for anyone doing personal coding for themselves and don't require switching chassis's all the time. But if you haven't touched the coding on the vehicle in a year and it's just now throwing errors, it's not a coding problem otherwise it would have started immediately after the coding was done. I'd consider getting ISTA/D installed as well so you can read the errors thrown by the module and it'll give you an idea of what's going on. |

I didn't. I downloaded the zip file for latest psdzdata which inside contained another file psdzdata.rar. Upon extracting it, I received error "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged".
Maybe another link for the psdzdata may work? I was able to upgrade to the latest ESYS using your link, and create the free token, so all of that part should be set. For the token I selected F020 which i I believe is the correct one. Thank you for the help guys |

For Launcher, you choose actual chassis (eg, F013 for M6). For E-sys Connection Target, you choose representative chassis (F10 covers covers F006/F010/F011/F012/F013/F018) |

It is hard to explain exactly what I mean.
Basically, when downloaded from mega, it becomes a zip file. Once unzipped, I am able to see I-levels..pdf (both files) and Psdzdata_v3.59.5_lite.rar. This is the .rar file I am referring to. I cannot extract it, nor can I access it. EDIT- was able to unzip it using 7-zip. Will update with results. Edit 2 - I didn't select the chassis code corresponding with my vehicle. So it looks like I'll have to wait another 48 hour to be able to generate a new token. Last edited by UnfoundLegend; 10-28-2016 at 04:02 PM.. |

Was able to find both, one right under the other. It reset mpg, trip tach, and a few other things. It also briefly showed collision warning malfunction (which is normal, I've seen it before while coding). It's funny, the SOS malfunction overrode it all and is still displaying. I'll try cycling the car several times as that sometimes does the trick. Edit - didn't seem to do the trick. I've read on e90post that setting: TCM_ALIVE_MONITOR -> nicht_activ TCM_ID_MONITOR -> nicht_activ Should I try these values? link to thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=805677 Thanks so much for all of the help. Hope this helps anybody else with a similar problem. Last edited by UnfoundLegend; 11-01-2016 at 07:46 PM.. |

If you are coding head unit (eg, HU_NBT), it will reset your memory hotkeys (1-8). If you code instrument cluster (eg, KOMBI), it will ask you to reset clock and will reset info like trip computer. If you code drivetrain modules (eg, ICM or DSC), you may get screen or cluster errors. As long as you have no errors on computer (ie "Finished with '0' Errors"), then they will go away on their own, by driving a little, or with E-sys External Transmitter. Which KOMBI do you have? I do not even see those parameters. |

Hey all,
I am getting a coding issue on my M5 F10, and I also think there is a way to bypass this... do I have some other ways besides going to the dealer and getting them to charge me an arm and a leg? |

Hey all, I have spoken to many places including the dealer and unfortunately unless they change out the cheap module in the headliner which comes with a lot of labor costs, you will need to find a place that can code these things out, most places cannot so I am still searching, I found one place but the guy was being an ass because I was late to my appointment so he canceled on me but yet he canceled on me one time previously before that... I heard you can change something out in your battery area in the trunk has anyone heard about this?
Thanks, KJDEION21 |
