However, although I can change values, I don't understand how to use your XML snippet to modify coded values. You said: << append the code under the FDL root element at the beginning of the file to "C:\Program Files\TokenMaster\E-Sys Launcher Premium\FDLCodes.xml" >> I understand that means to add this snipet to that XML file, but how do I commit it to the car? Thanks! |

BTW, I have just updated the cheat code on page 2, and please don't quote the cheat code so this way there is only one version in this thread. thanks. Last edited by aboulfad; 12-01-2015 at 10:46 AM.. |

What did you change on page 2? Also just curious - why do pressure (kpa) values need to be changed for Euro MDM if you know why? |

I changed this: C_Laenderkennung => ECE based on a recent discussion in this thread Euro MDM Coding.
I don't know nor anyone else i think knows what those values mean, aside from some attempting to understand as in the linked thread the impact of C_Laenderkennung on the behavior of EuroMDM on US cars. |

Hey All - I'm thinking I want to start trying to code myself so I've spent hours reading through all of these threads. Since I don't have a windows computer I'm trying to put together a "from scratch" shopping list - can you guys validate my thinking here? dmnc02 ?
Here's my shopping list based on everything I've read: * Cheap windows 10 laptop - I'm thinking the lenovo 100s for $179 * Cheap USB to ethernet dongle * Ethernet to ODB port dongle from ebay * Software from Shawn Sound right? Thanks all! |

If you are looking for a cheap solution just for coding, the Lenovo should be fine. Keep in mind however that the 32 GB storage will not be enough if you ever decide to flash your car (i.e., update the firmware) or even to run the BMW diagnostic software (Rheingold). And yes, an ENET cable from eBay and the free software from Shawn is all you need in addition to a laptop running Windows.

2gb Ram is doable to run Esys but it's very tight, as is the HDD 32Gb... What laptop do you have?

Virtualization software is just a matter of convenience so that you do not need to reboot your computer when switching from Mac OS to Windows.

This ^^^^ I use bootcamp with Windows 7 on my 8 years old MacBook! It works great and I don't use it as an OSX laptop anymore as I have other Mac MacBook. it's dedicated for Esys, Rheingold and other car stuff. But it'd be cool to have a Windows tablet that I can keep in the car, I've been eyeing the MS Surface Pro 4.

There still seems to be confusion regarding the procedure to enable No-Glare High Beam using the Cheat Codes in E-Sys Launcher, so I will make another attempt to clarify it.
Before following the procedure below, make sure that (1) you have E-Sys Launcher v2.4.3 (or newer) and (2) you know how to modify your FA/VO and VO code. If needed, you can learn the latter by reading the attached PDF or by watching this video (or, even better, by reading the PDF while watching the video ). Also, watch TokenMaster's video in post #1, which illustrates the technique used in Steps 2 and 3 below. BTW, VO stands for Vehicle Order (it specifies the alphanumeric codes for each option installed on your car) and FA stands for FahrzeugAuftrag (Vehicle order in German). VO coding an ECU resets all the coded values in that ECU to the default values for the specified VO/FA configuration. The procedure below will result in exactly the same coding as the "manual" procedure outlined in this PDF, but is faster and more error proof. STEP 1: Remove 5AP and 8S4 from the FA/VO and then VO code FEM_BODY, FLA or KAFAS (whichever one you see in your SVT), both LHM and both TMS (5AP and 8S4 are the "option" codes that disable Variable Light Distribution and No Glare High Beam on North American cars). STEP 2: Right-click on LHM [43] in the SVT tree and select "Read Coding Data". Then right-click on the CAFD in the folder that appears under the ECU and select "Edit FDL". This will move to the FDL Editor screen (see screenshot). Make sure that the checkbox for "Auto Fetch Codes" in the lower right corner is enabled. Select the checkbox for "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 2: driver side)", click "Apply", click "OK" in the window that appears asking for confirmation and wait for the message stating that the coding has been successfully applied. Then save the edited CAFD by clicking the diskette icon in the menu bar and go back to the Coding window by clicking the left green arrow in the menu bar. Finally, select the CAFD file you just edited and click "Code FDL". Now right-click on LHM [44] in the SVT tree and repeat the above procedure: the relevant checkbox will read "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 2: passenger side)". STEP 3: Right-click on FEM_BODY in the SVT tree and select "Read Coding Data". Then right-click on the CAFD in the folder that appears under the ECU and select "Edit FDL". Select the checkbox for "No-Glare High Beam Assistant (Step 3)", click "Apply", click "OK" in the window that appears asking for confirmation and wait for the message stating that the coding has been successfully applied. Then save the edited CAFD by clicking the diskette icon in the menu bar and go back to the Coding window by clicking the left green arrow in the menu bar. Finally, select the CAFD file you just edited and click "Code FDL". All done: disconnect and enjoy this great feature.

Unfortunately that is correct, due to a hardware limitation of the adaptive Xenons BMW puts on US-bound cars.

Is there a list somewhere of what requires VO coding? I know anti-dazzle LEDs does, as does adding Satellite/Enhanced USB - but are there any others? Be nice to do all VO coding before making any other changes.

No list I have ever seen. Sat Radio requires more than juts VO Coding too, as it requires a 6F SDARS FSC Enabling Code.
