E-Sys is not for diagnosis, and it is not for E-Series cars.

Thank you for your time and effort to share this data. Old guy, earlier download was to techy for me! Mike's easy tools went through with no issues. Couldn't have made it happen without your work. Ric

Same request as Marcipedrez above! My PM ability isn’t unlocked yet, posting here to get one of my posts done. And thanks Shawn, you’re a hero for helping out so many folks here.

Hello BMW community. I am looking for where to access ISTA. Not 100% sure what version I need, but I have a BMW E90 328xi 2008. I have used these forums many a time to help diagnose my car for smaller things, but recently my car began misfiring, and I would like to diagnose it. I already purchased a K-DCAN cable, just looking around for the software. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Can you send me it somewhere else? I can provide my discord or some other messaging service. It will take a week to get the PM function apparently

Hi, I'm new here. I'm currently learning how to code my 2005 BMW E90 325i and am facing the following problem. Since my FRM was defective, I switched directly to a used FRM3R. I've already changed the VIN using WinKFP, but in NCSExpert I keep getting the same error in the final step. According to ChatGPT, I’m missing current data because I flashed my FRM with the latest software. I hope someone here can help me out.

"Error in CABD! Look at CABI.ERR and ERROR.LOG!

COAPI-2041: Falscher SG-Codierindex A_PL2FRX:
CODIERINDEX = 33h FRM3_E89.C32: CODIERINDEX = 32
COAPI-2041: Falscher SG-Codierindex SG_CODIEREN"

And you need to specifically state what you need, as "the link." can be anything.

hi Shawn, I have a 09 x5 and x6.
Wondering if I can get the software to be able to code it. Specifically NCS Expert so I can code the FRM to my vin.
Thanks mate!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to code via BimmerCode (expert mode), the consumption gauge to temperature gauge?

The car is a E9X, and I know I have to do it via Instrument Cluster module
