Hello, I can flash my car to any I-Step version I want if I have downloaded the latest psdzdata?

No. You can flash to which ever version you download.

I ask that because i have F020-13-03-502 and upgrade the only FEM to F020-20-11-540 may be not a good idea. Maybe is better update all ECUs?

It is ok to not update all. But, you need to check dependencies and make sure those ECUs are on the same I-Step.

HI All,

Firstly big thank you the the community and forums like this, the information shared in these places is such an asset.

I've been reading as much as I can for a week now, getting my head around flashing and coding.

Question: I have a F20 running I-Level F020-12-11-504, from everything I have read I understand that with E-sys I theoretically could up date it to F020-21-03-545. Is this true?

I feel unease updating a 8-9year jump, is this unease unfounded? Or is there a legitimate reason to to have concern apply such a modern I-level to an old car.

Looking for advice and reassurance.

Cheers,

There are no, to minimal release notes in terms of SIB; so update could come with advantages or regressions (ie unable to code multiple turn signal blinks). A large leap just means you will likely have many ECUs to update and will take longer with increased risk.

ah I see.

I didn't consider features being removed, the multiple turn signal blinks is something that I use, currently set to 6 flashes and I really like it like that.

To best of your knowledge how new would you recommend going? I definitely want to keep my customized blinker config, but also hope to gain some extra options that is missing from my current version.

I do not recall the exact firmware version when blinker number change was no longer possible.

You are unlikely to gain features, it will mostly be stability fixes.

EDIT: It was firmware sometime in 2018 when no longer able to code soft turn signal blinks on F020 targets.

Would I'd be reasonable to assume there would be improvements in active suspension logic and dynamic stability / traction control programs?

Thanks for approximating the time when blinker coding was no longer an option.

I am not sure with regards to your possible assumption. I do know there are subjective posts on the forums that you may be able to find. Alternatively, hopefully else will also add their two cents.

Thanks mate, I know I'm asking some pretty open ended questions. Appreciate the help you have given anyway.

issue resolved I had f025 selected instead of f020 - therefore the two units were not linked. I will leave the post here in case someone does the same mistake - it is so easy to overlook (was doing a friends X5 and left the F025 there...

------------

Hi, I wanted to change the coding on my GHAS (did it with the same version of psdzdata 4.26.35 as in March - no issues at that time) - but now getting the below error when trying to read coding file via esys. The same for IHKA. All the other units read coding file with no issues.
no errors read via ISTA - GHAS communicates with no problems.

Any idea what makes esys not able to read coding for GHAS and IHKA suddenly?

Thanks

Doesn't map to an item means you selected wrong connection target.

Hi Shawn shawnsheridan

I am using E-Sys Launcher PRO 2.x to launch E-Sys 3.27.1 to code my 2021 M2C F87.

1)
In the connection, there are 2 target for F020.
F020_20_11_557 and F020_21_03_545.
which one should I use?

2) I try to follow this to add 8TH to my car.

1) 8TH to VO
2) HU_CIC, 3001 EXBOX, SPEEDLIMIT_INFO = aktiv
3) KOMBI, 3000 Anzeige_Konfiguration, SPEED LIMIT GENERATION = sli_gen2
4) KOMBI, 3003 FZG_Ausstattung, SPEED_LIMIT = aktiv
5) KAFAS, 3010 SLI_CODING, SLI_ON_OFF = SLI_ON
6) KAFAS, 3010 SLI_CODING, CODE_ELECTRIC_HORIZON = nicht_aktiv
7) KAFAS, 3010 SLI_CODING, Country_code_display = wert_3
8) KAFAS, 3010 SLI_CODING, UNIT DISPLAY = wert_4
9) KAFAS, 3020 KAFAS_COMMON, COUNTRY_VARIATION = wert_3
10) Turned on Speed Limit Info in the display


1 and 2 are done. But when doing KOMBI, I only see KOMBI2 and the text not available and trimmed function. How do I fix it?

1. Use bottom (newer) one, F020_21_03_545.

2.If Trimmed, you need newer Launcher PRO 3.x or E-SysX, but unfortunately neither is a available now or for the foreseeable future, leaving only finding someone with one of them to FDL Code it for you.

I think this is something Kubax above can do.
