Coding cheatsheet

[dhirm5]

Heres a much more readable cheatsheet than the other that's floating around and contains info for pre and post LCI:

Cool, now all I need is the "coding for dummies" guide to get this done.

Ask, and ye shall receive

The How-To guide is based upon E-Sys 3.1X.X and the current version is 3.2X but the screens are similar enough that my version-dated How-To guide is still good enough.

I've also created this very clunky spreadsheet so that I can chose functions to code, then re-sort the spreadsheet by ECU. Coding by ECU, instead of By Function, is much more efficient. This is targeted at the non-M F10, so some functions are not relevant to the M5. The "Technology" column is just a way to discriminate between older and newer F10s. The newer have the HU-NBT. The older, like mine, have the HU_CIC.

In order to view the attachment correctly, delete ".pdf" from the end.

Great spreadsheet.

I have one add for you:
To turn off amber side-marker safety lights:
FRM>3060>FRM_EFFEKTIV, 20 / U_EFF_SM_V, to turn off set to Wert_01, Werte=00

FYI this doesn't work on 2014 with LEDs. It does work on 2013 with Xenon.

nice posts. Thanks

Has anyone coded taillights on with daytime running lights?
I can't find it anywhere

Did you check FRM DRL_MODUS?

can someone point me in the right direction to download and install/set up e-sys

Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me how to program a new headlight driver module on a 2014 bmw 5 series using esys?
I replaced both headlights due to front end damage, used the original modules on the right side and everything works fine. However, on the left side, I had to buy a brand new driver module. I am able to connect to esys and code some things, but not able figure out how to program the vin on to the new driver module.

Thanks!

So flashing it will fix the issue? Which ecu do I flash?
Thanks!

Lighting modules for an F10 include FRM, LHM x2, and TMS x2. Did you replace any of those?

I replaced the TMS module and the LED/angel eye module(I believe its the LHM module?)

FRM (Footwell Module) control some lighting functions, but you would have errors on both sides.

LHML = Left LED Main headlight module.

LHMR = Right LED Main Headlight Module.

You can use E-sys or ISTA-P. ISTA+ requires ICOM.

Thank You, very much. I will try it tomorrow.

You are going to need to check the firmware versions of ECU's and Dependencies. Both are discussed in E-sys guide.

Do you have the guide by any chance?
