Coding F82 GTS Rear Lights

Hi,

What's has to be coded to activate the BMW M4 GTS Rear Lights on a BMW M4 F82? Can this be done with esys?

Do i need to add any VO code?

Thank you!

No coding needed. Works with the same connectors. Only need a harness to fit it all..

Why don't you just VO code them with a modified FA?

4S91 for EU and 4S93 for US variants of GTS.

Change that in your FA, be sure E-Sys isn't set to write it back to your VCM, and then VO-code the appropriate module(s), which I'd imagine would be REM.

Nothing you need to know other than Typeschlussel.

Thank you!!!!

I think you might be confused about what VO-coding is, but maybe you aren't.

If OEM lights had an option code, then there'd be some removal necessary. Since taillights are, from what I understand, based only on zeitkriterium (possibly) and typeschlussel (definitely), oh, and chassis code (kinda), then in this case, no, there's no removal of anything necessary.



Good luck! I'll have my hands on a GTS for the first time (hopefully) sometime this week, and might be able to grab some FDL code captures for you if absolutely necessary. (I'd wager it's not.)

To be sure: vo coding is like changing a normal transmission to a sport transmission? Edit the FA and add the VO code to the list and code the modules, right?

Like this: http://www.bmwesys.com/guides/VO%20C...ep%20Guide.pdf

Nice! Looking forward to hear more!

Thank you for the help!

Yes, it's like that.

In your case, I'd imagine REM would need to be involved, potentially also FEM_BODY, but with that said, I've read elsewhere that GTS taillights are plug-and-play (although I have no first-hand experience to say whether that's true), so there's a chance that the modules just need to be 'taught' in ISTA aka Rheingold... so tbh that's where I'd start first, personally.

Again, why don't you just VO code them with a modified FA for the GTS?

While this may seem like a pedantic response, it's simply a plea to consider the far simpler approach.

I just got my set of OEM GTS OLED's and I have a 19' LCI, I just need some help with properly coding these? Can anyone help with the assist? or Can I do this through Bimmercode myself? or Is there someone you can recommend to help me do this?

Thank you!
