All right guys, spent hours scratching my head over this, and finally came to a conclusion that I am looking at different tutorials which use different files and got ymself confused -.-''

Can someone please give me a link to a tutorial that works as of today with the files that work as of today ? All the guides nice and detailed but too old and the links to the downloads have expired ..

Cheers!

The daten version required depends on your integration level. Integration levels map to ISTA/P versions, which then tells you the minimum daten release level needed to code your car.

Google "bmw group ista/p version and i-level overview" and examine a chart:
http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/...l-overview.pdf

For example, if your integration level is E89X-13-07-505, you would need sp daten 51.0 at a minimum which maps to ISTA/P version 2.51.0.

You can display your plant, dealer and backup integration levels with INPA:

Agreed. I'd like to know too.

Hello everyone....

REALLY interested in coding my 2012 E93...specifically getting the top to open/close with the remote. However, I've updated from bmwupdate.com before I saw the coding stuff. Will all this still work with that update? I've read both and need to know before I get started.

Thanks!

Not familiar with the site you mentioned, as there's no data there. Can you expand on what you have done so far?

csukoh78 · 11-24-2015, 03:06 PM

Sorry, the website is BMW.com/update. This updates the software in the car for accessories and other functions in the car via USB. I recall seeing somewhere that coding doesn't work with the "newest update" but need to make sure. Anyone know for certain?

This is for updating only the Bluetooth software in cars equipped with CIC Head Unit and standalone Combox or NBT Head Unit with integrated Combox.

Coding is working with latest 57.1.

I just had to do this. A member helped me with this and did an awesome job.
He was very accommodating on timing and very reasonable.
Sent me a cable cheaper than I could find one anywhere else and shipped from Europe for $4.
All around awesome experience.

Did the whole thing remotely. Sent me a link to files, I downloaded them and he installed all of the necessary apps at no charge, did all coding and now I have all of the applications and files on my desktop and the cable to get started screwing around myself.

We were messing with e93 convertible top, comfort access-related mods, did Alpina flash, got rid of fog and adaptive errors and a bunch of other things.

PM me for details.

Yep. Not going to happen unfortunately. You can get part of the way there.
Can code remote to open the top but only can get windows and mirrors to function on remote lock.

Convertible top will not go back up.

Hey guys. Do you know of a code that sets the seats when unlocking? My wife and I both have E90s. However, when I have my key to her car, the seats auto set to my setting when I unlock and using her keys, the same thing to her setting.

But on mine, that is not happening. Any thoughts? She has the standard Sears. I have the sport seats. Could that be it?

cryptomit · 11-25-2015, 09:28 AM

Both cars have electric seats with memory?

Hi jamie. PM sent. That sucks, but hopefully I can at least get the top to go down. Any coders in the Bethesda area?

Should I try with different driver for the cable?

This is my cable

BMW INPA / Ediabas K+DCAN USB Interface, D-CAN, CAN

I have an early E93 and had the same problem. I figured that BMW put a different airbag module in our cars than in later ones. With a bit of lateral thinking, I found that the E85 model has the ACSM2 module, and by selecting E85 instead of E90, I was able to clear the airbag light that came on after I goofed up replacinging the battery. I hope this helps someone one day!

Hi guys, I had success coding my 05 E61 a year or so ago, before taking a break from BMWs... Back now in an 08 335i and can't for the life of me got things working with that. I understand we have likely moved from kcan to dcan with the newer car but my cable is supposed to support both and have also bought and tried another. Can someone please point me in the direction of a current guide and software? Ideally would like to get going in Win10 but flexible. Thanks in advance!

cryptomit · 01-04-2016, 07:09 AM

Where did you buy your cable? Perhaps this cable will not work with your 335i. What is the production date of your car exactly?
