DIY: LCI Tail Light Upgrade Coding for F80M3 thru Bimmercode

Sinnakle · 04-13-2018, 07:06 PM

I don't remember the exact software but it was 2015. I have a 16 with August '15 build date. Also an M4.

I had to get mine updated. It would get taillamp malfunction error in iDrive. I was remote coded first by a friend and it worked, but still had the errors because I had older software which I got updated the next day and then errors cleared.

I wonder if it can be coded on an F82 as long as it has updated REM module software.

I have a 15 M4 with updated I-Step software. Were you able to code the LCI tails with bimmercode? I just tried coding my M4 tonight using the coding in this thread and it didn't seem to work (or do anything).

The guy who made that video said he just used bimmercode's non expert mode and said you can change the options to this:

All cold checks to not active
All warm checks to not active
And all bulbs to led

Has anyone tried it that way?

Can't confirm if it will be any different for an F82 M4 though. If someone wants me to confirm for F82, send me your SVT file and I can check it for you.

P.S. The best way to code for LCI LED tail lights is by applying HELC in HO-WORT and then VO coding REM. This will automatically apply those changes for you instead of you manually FDL coding 56 lines

However, for some that might not be possible because of an old software version (or because they don't know how to edit and apply changes to FA), then you can just FDL code those changes quoted above instead.

BTW can confirm that doing the OP's methods of coding via the bimmercode app works fine with the OEM retrofit harnesses. Just make sure to tap the outer blinkers wires like mentioned in the EAS DIY.

I was able to code the F82 with the oem harness successfully with the app as well

Nice. What made you change from EAS' harness to the OEM harness?

That wasn't my car as I got the f80. My buddy bought the harness from InD. No idea about the difference unfortunately.

Anyone have the defaults for these? Trying to revert and lost my bimmercode backups and don't have e-sys avail to reset the module.

Cscat · 06-22-2019, 06:05 PM

Hi all, looking for some assistance. I did the LCI taillight upgrade to my ‘15 using the EAS harness and BimmerCode with a set of used taillights. Install seemed smooth and there are no errors. However, the passenger side turn signal flickers. The drivers side taillight works perfect. I have attached a video.

Does anyone happen to have any insight on this being a wiring issue, verses coding issue, verses the taillight itself? Thank you.

I saw the video on youtube and he connects the inner lights to the light module.

In the comment section someone posted this to get the lights working without tapping the wires.

I did all these coding changes today on my F82 M4.

Left side working perfectly, but the right side boot light the indicator / turn signal will not work.

I've checked all coding and the connection to the REM, so I think I must have a faulty adaptor harness

Replaced the ebay adaptor harness, with the OEM bmw loom and all working perfectly now.

climax_e92 · 07-19-2019, 12:21 AM

Just did the euro lci on my 16 f82. Also tapped the inner lights. Everything works except inner turn signals. Any ideas? I jsed bimmercode but not expert...please and thank you..

Thanks to tom @ eas and EAS's fantastic write up on how to install the lights. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1180839

Once installed, I was left with the coding part.
My car was previously coded and as much as I like the service, I don't like to pay if I can do it myself. Coincidentally I heard about the Bimmercode app. With the help of a Vgate Wi-Fi Obd2 device you connect to the car. The app. has an expert mode, which I used to code the car.

Starting point were the values given by EAS in the DIY mentioned above, but after coding I still had flickering. After some digging it turned out that some values were missing, hence I decided to do this thread and take the opportunity to explain how you can code these lights yourself.

PLEASE READ THRU THE ENTIRE THREAD PRIOR TO ANY CODING!

So here we go:

1. Install lights as per EAS and purchase the EAS harness with it
1. Purchase App and unlock feature within
2. Buy Vgate Wi-Fi device
3. Plug in Vgate into OBD2
4. Connect with your phone to the signal of the Vgate just like any other network you would use
Note: To avoid interference in the signal have the phone set to Airplane mode
5. open Bimmercode app and press connect, the app will read out the Vin and ECU
6. The different modules will appear. Chose: Rear Electronic Module (REM_01)
The App will read out the values in that module
7. The screen that opens gives you simple features to easily turn on/off or change features without any hassle or danger. It's like the dummy mode for people like me. But unfortunately in this case you need to be the "Expert"

So chose "Expert mode" on the bottom left of the screen
8. Now find and select folder: 3061 LceOutputChannels
9. The fun part. Find the below channels and change the values within to what it reads below.

Do this step by step:
e.g. you click on: REM / 3061 / BL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG
a new window open and should read: aktiv (0x01) with a blue check mark next to it. Since we need to change this value to nicht_aktiv (0x00), just simply select/click on 'nicht_aktiv (0x00) and the blue check mark will appear
next to it.

NOTE: Take your time!!! You don't want to code something you weren't supposed to and than the car won't work correctly. Maybe even take screenshots or better a screen video in case you can't remember what you were doing or what the value was prior to your change. I was distracted by doing mine and thankfully I knew that i have ADD and came prepared when i made a mistake.

9.1. go back with the blue error on the top left hand side. That will bring you back to the channel list and you can select the next line to code.

I list the Channels in the order as they appeared on my phone, so you can just go from the top to bottom.

REM:

Brake lights outside:

REM / 3061 / BL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BL_L_IS_LED /aktiv (0x01)
REM / 3061 / BL_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BL_R_IS_LED /aktiv (0x01)

Break lights inside:

REM / 3061 / BFD_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BFD_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BFD_L_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)
REM / 3061 / BFD_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BFD_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG /nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / BFD_R_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)

Rear Fog lights

REM / 3061 / NSL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / NSL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / NSL_L_IS_LED /aktiv (0x01)
REM / 3061 / NSL_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / NSL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / NSL_R_IS_LED /aktiv (0x01)

Reverse lights:

REM / 3061 / RFS_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / RFS_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG (0x00)
REM / 3061 / RFS_L_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / RFS_R_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)

Indicators Rear:

REM / 3061 / FRA_H_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / FRA_H_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / FRA_H_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / FRA_H_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG: nicht_aktiv (0x00)
REM / 3061 / FRA_H_R_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)
REM / 3061 / FRA_H_L_IS_LED: aktiv (0x01)

10. Now that you successfully changed all needed values go back with the blue error on the top left.
11. Press Code on the top right hand side to get the car coded
12. If the coding was successful it will give you a pop up saying so
13. turn off car completely for 20sec.
14. start up and check for any errors on the dash
15. If no errors, do a visual on flickering (bulb check every 36sec or so) as well as Brake lights, indicator, reverse light etc. Yes, you will need someone to help you, unless you're Inspector Gadget and can press the brake and view the Tails at the same time.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damages on your car. I am no expert on coding either nor on the APP described and used in this example.

Make sure your car is hooked up to a battery charger and ensure that the car won't go to sleep. e.g. by putting the Driver seat belt. The above is just write down on my experience going thru the process myself. My car is 15 F80 build in late 14 in case that makes any difference.

Hope i was able to help some of the guys that ask about how to do this with Bimmercode. If i did, please appreciate or comment.

I haven't taken many picture with the new lights, yet. But you can find some on my IG page @stormtrooper_f80

Hey Phil,

Just wanted to clarify, the codes you've listed above (in bold) are how they SHOULD look like for the lights to work?

After finding the channels, I'll need to change the values. Do I manually type the values? EX: aktiv (0x01) to nicht_aktiv (0x00) Or will I be provided the nicht_aktiv (0x00) option when I click on that channel, so I would just click on that option?

Last question, this will work on a F82/F83?

Thanks!

Hey, the option was provided when I used the app.. It shows what's currently set at the car as well as the option you can chose. I did code an F82 that way as well. If I remember correctly the app was updated and I thin you can change/code the lights now without going into expert mode. I'd suggest doing that one first, but never the less the app keeps a record in case you run into issue and will put the logs into the email for support.

Yeah, I've noticed this weekend coding little things. The apps does not look like what's online.

I'll try though.

Thanks!

so what error code would you get if it's not coded after you swap to lci tail lights?

i picked up a 2015 f80 (produced 2014 Nov). previous owner swapped to lci led tail lights. i dont see any flickering and lights work but i have the below two issues.

1. when i hard brake (brake force) , i got a left 2-stage brake lamp mal function, also right 2-stage brake lamp mal function. (see first pic). when i took the outer brake lamp housing apart to inspect the bulbs, i noticed it's actually hella light units , per google they are direct oem units but i m not entirely sure (see second pic), and i see only turn signal has a bulb, is it suppose to have a bulb for tail light lamp as well? seems like it is when i just googled on the par t# and looked at all the pictures out there (see third pic circled red , circled green part is where turn signal led is )

2. inner light doesnt light up when turn signal is on (see fourth pic circled in blue). am i just missing a harness? also this part is hella inner brake lamp unit (see fifth pic)

really hope someone can provide me guidance on what im missing to fix the two issues , thanks!

maybe i should try this? i dont believe my lights are tapped but i m probably gona double check on that

does anyone know what the retrofit cable look like or have a part #?

Adding HELC in HO-WORT does in fact apply those same coding changes. I made sure to check that for an F80 and an F30 and they're identical. Can't confirm if it will be any different for an F82 M4 though. If someone wants me to confirm for F82, send me your SVT file and I can check it for you.

P.S. The best way to code for LCI LED tail lights is by applying HELC in HO-WORT and then VO coding REM. This will automatically apply those changes for you instead of you manually FDL coding 56 lines

However, for some that might not be possible because of an old software version (or because they don't know how to edit and apply changes to FA), then you can just FDL code those changes quoted above instead.

Rolling the dice with an ebay harness vs. oem or EAS's. Anyone have good luck with them?

Sounds like the previous owner slapped them in and did not do all of the coding. Theres a lot more to code than just bulb monitoring. Install the harness, verify all the coding and you should be good.

Thanks does this require tapping the outer brake lamp? or any instructions on what this harness replaces?

thanks are coding possible through bimmercode?

Yes, see the first post. I followed exactly and it works perfect.

Just make sure to tap the outer blinkers wires like mentioned in the EAS DIY.

Cscat Private 7 Rep 56 Posts Drives: F80 M3 Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: New York iTrader: (0)	Hi all, looking for some assistance. I did the LCI taillight upgrade to my ‘15 using the EAS harness and BimmerCode with a set of used taillights. Install seemed smooth and there are no errors. However, the passenger side turn signal flickers. The drivers side taillight works perfect. I have attached a video. Does anyone happen to have any insight on this being a wiring issue, verses coding issue, verses the taillight itself? Thank you. https://youtu.be/cE3D6q35MZU
