BMW CODING success

HomieTheClown · 12-17-2013, 02:30 PM

Hi,

Just as the title suggested, I'm hoping I can find someone who will for a nominal fee register my battery. I just learned about the ^%$#&$# stupid BMW battery scheme so I am out to get it replaced but don't feel like taking it to the man and getting ripped off.

I'm hands on kind of guy but don't have the cable to do it. On the note is there a $50 dollar cable that actually works or are they all a lot more?

My car in question is a 2009 3 series. Thanks!

okay im officially losing my mind!

im sure i've come across a different list of codes than the one supplied on this thread but i cant find it anymore. the specific strings of code im looking to change are:

- disabling the "accept" screen on idrive upon starting car

- enabling the video / tv while driving

im sure i've seen the above codes for a bmw e90.

does anybody know the string / line of text i should be looking for to change??

LEGAL_DISCL - to disable accept screen

To active DVD/TV motion you need to dig in prg file, what is more complicated, but doable.

Thanks cryptomit! i'll give it a go

ok I've been at this post for hours without trying to post for help,

I have a 2011 335is, Running 32 bit Windows XP

I have a K+DCAN INPA Compatible cable (opened it up and it has 8 pins)
I have downloaded all the original links from the OP (running INPA version 5.0.1, EDIABAS 6.4.7, and NCSEXPER 3.1.0)

when i run INPA both circles are black, but when i try to communicate with the airbag i get an error...heard you could still code so i went ahead and followed the diy and got to the vin part and got this error:

VIN is faulty
COAPI-2000: EDIABAS or SGBD error
IFH-0003: DATATRANSMISSION TO INTERFACE DISTRUBED

I changed the latency to 1 and still nothing

someone please help I've been at this for hours

is it just me or does the Neutrino file only show a select few things to code now and only list the commands for an 06??

You should be using bmw standard tools 2.12 for this car, the DATEN is probably way out of date.

There is a spreadsheet floating around but not sure if anyone will update Neutrino file or someone can take over the admin of it?

What's JB4 ?

Ok. Thanks.
I'm asking because of error COAPI -2060 have another question. To pic up right coding I set production date #0907 before was #1205.
NCS use JBBF70.prg and i think that is for JBBF2.
In my car is JBBF (1) so should be JBBF87.prg
My headlight washers still don't work.
I'd like to code jbbf using expertmode but getting error COAPI-2060,
COAPI-2062
Is it possible? - ncs use wrong .prg file to coding because of production date ?
Edit.
The answer is Yes.
Got back to previous date and coded to default jbbf.
Headlight washers works now.

Here's the old version, I've uploaded it to google docs.

Thanks! But not sure if someone is going to keep maintaining it as we go along?

Chris_Rav · 01-09-2014, 04:30 PM

Can anyone tell me if there is a special cable that I need for my '11 N55 e92 LCI, every cable i see on amazon ebay and even onestop seems to say that it supports up to model year '08.

If anyone has a link for a cable that they know will work (hopefully for a good amount under $100) please send it to me!

Woot. Coded the digital speedo and comfort window closing with fob. Also reset adaptations in INPA while I was at it.

If only I had the FRM2 for the welcome lights!

Next up is buying the alarm retrofit. Really wish I could code the clown-nose to blink in the meantime.

Was hoping for one under $100 , Not by $1 tho lol

Any other suggestions, I see a ton on amazon but they all have mixed reviews, seems like a hit or miss depending on the car.

It's not a hit or miss depending on the car, it's a hit or miss depending on the cable. I bought one on ebay for $20 and it works perfectly. It's not that your mileage may vary, it's that your mileage will almost certainly vary.

Do you have a link to that cable? Do you think it would work with my car?

Your saying that any cable "Should" work with my car. It's just that most cables that don't work are shit cables?

Sadly I don't (original listing long since ended). The problem is that design consistency from cable to cable is nonexistent. All theoretically work for the purpose stated, but whether their individual design plays nice with INPA and friends (which aren't really quality tested themselves, they aren't meant to be used outside of BMW engineering) is anyone's guess.
