DIY: Setup BMW Standard Tools 2.12 on Windows XP > 10

supercati · 03-06-2018, 11:33 AM

I want to "update" my Daten files, because now I just have E89, and I want to be able to code more cars.

I'm downloading the v63 Daten files, to update, should I do it through "BMW Coding Tool" --> "Select SP-Source" --> "Update SP-Daten" ?

Hi I saw in the first post it says u added support files for n47 engine. Do I need to manually add these in the e90.eng file?

Yes i believe so, you will have to set the default folder settings also as per Wildcats guide. (Page 7)

Hi,

So I have car hooked up using recommending cable and INPA software recognizes battery is on but doesnt recognize ignition on once I turn the car on.

When I try to select my engine type which is a M57 it tells me control unit not found but tells me I have a N57 motor which is not possible as the car is a 335D 2010 and Vin tells me its a M57.

Any ideas?

Tks

i want to install this on a small laptop that only has a 16gb hard drive. it does have a slot for an SD card though, can it be downloaded to an sd card and setup or must be to the C drive?

Confirm by pulling up E90\Functional Jobs\UIF. Also, have you tried selecting N57 from the menu to see what happens (just out of curiosity)?

How to update DATEN FILES:

The Nightman · 03-26-2018, 10:16 PM

Thank you for creating this. I followed the instructions and everything works on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit and a BimmerGeeks Pro K+Dcan cable (link). INPA and NCS Expert work although fault codes are in German. WINKFP worked to load a BimmerLabs tune.

I did run into two issues but the fixes were simple:

1. Windows did not automatically install the drivers for my cable. I found the correct drivers from FTDI (link). BimmerGeeks recommended manually installing the drivers following FTDI instructions (link).

2. I was not able to connect to my transmission. I had to add ENTRY= gs1912,GM6 to the [ROOT_GETRIEBE] section in E90.eng in C:\EC-APPS\INPA\CFGDAT after reading this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1167910

I hope this helps

Politozerpa · 04-05-2018, 10:28 PM

I'm new to this and I'm curious as to what exactly CAN'T be flashed or coded while the car is on?

Djuganight · 04-14-2018, 04:37 AM

Hi Guys,

First of al thank you very much for sharing this with the comunity.

It is my first time trying to do this sort of things.
I have installed everything according to instructions and all seems to be properly installed, including the cable, when conneceted to the computer.

The problem I'm having is that I connect to the car and nothing happens....
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Sorry to anyone who downloaded the install over the past week or so, as it had a bug. New BMW Standard Tools file is now uploaded.

vibroluxious · 06-06-2018, 08:34 PM

I downloaded the software and after a few evenings of messing with things to get it all sorted, I was able to code my car tonight. I already have ISTA-D and ISTA-P and now have BMW Standard Tools all playing nicely in the same lap top. Thanks for posting the info.
