So Dimsum and I finally did the install yesterday.

Went from halogen headlights to OEM xenon headlights using OEM bulbs/ballast (no external harness) and then coded the car to let it know that xenon headlights are installed.

After the coding, started that car and voila, no errors

The car now knows its runninng xenon lights and therefore get no errors.

It isn't 100% complete as I have lost my high beam functionality (don't have the bixenon wire). There is a code line to turn the halogen high beam to turn it on according to the spreadsheet, but that line isn't present on the e90 models.

So I am still researching which line will get me the high beams on my halogen.

But so far, all is positive and I am so glad I no longer need to make some kind of harness to fool the computer.

FYI, if you have a JB4 in, you have to set it to map 0 to bypass all the CAN stuff, or it will make the coding process not work right..and I'm happily coding away now!

I still estimate full coding to be 2-3 minutes.

From cold start, I reckon you have 15 minutes to mess with your car without having to even raise an eyebrow at over battery drainage.

Video up in a bit.

Since you get the error on the TCUM, does that stop the coding? I know your KOMBI gets coded, but will it continue past the TCUM and code the AMPT, IHK etc etc??

Anyone know - when retrofitting electric seats with memory on a car that came with manual seats, is it a question of adding something to the VO, or is more work needed (assume all electric wiring done, obv.)?

I haven't received my cable yet but I have been researching. I ran across this:

NCS dummy. Anyone tried this to figure out what values can be changed to? It will even do some translation.

Ya, went to the dealer yesterday and the car got reflashed for the fuel pump and lost all my coding. Good thing I didn't pay for it or I would of been screwed. Got to love DIY.

Only problem is its a secret menu on the I-Drive
Anyone knows how to make the speedlock menu show up
on the I-Drive.

That's correct. I haven't been able to get it to work though.

C:\NCSEXPERT\DATEN\E89
C:\EDIBIAS\ECU

Once replaced I was able to read and write all previous working modules + CIC. Please let me know if you have any questions and this works.

Yep, have multiple symbols on my dash. I took care of the tpms with the BT tool but have these 2 still on my dash and a service info (wrong dates etc). This came on after the digital speedo change.

wondering if re-installing my stock file would do the trick?

For my e65, you will see one sub-module coded one after the other in quick succession (1-3 seconds), unless it's a particularly length module, it may be 20 seconds. (I can take a video if you wish next weekend for your reference...man I messed with the e65 for more than an hour without a hint of the battery dying...e65 is a true champ)

Also if you recently coded and have not disconnected the cable or closed the software, the initial start-up takes a bit longer, as you may witness there was a significant downtime in the video before the KOMBI sub-module got coded.


If it's a fresh start, the car will communicate with the laptop immediately.

I have my TCUM retrofitted as well on my car and it does throw an error when I try to access it. I guessing that means (for me) this would not be the best idea in terms of locating a code i cannot find within a particular module as the whole car processing will just quit after it hits the TCUM???

Also, I have an e65 as well. Any idea how I can disable the alarm on it? I am having the alarm go off randomly for no reason.

Very interesting find. I previoulsy activated those 2 options but nothing appeared on the navigation so I figured it didn't work but didn't realize I need to enter a button combination. Does anyone have any light on this subject.

You can get into the service menu using this:

Quote:
Go to Start menu
Push controller in up direction for at least 10s
Controller 3 notches to the right
Controller 3 notches to the left
Controller 1 notch to the right
Controller 1 notch to the left
Controller 1 notch to the right
Press controller once
The Service menu is now added as the last submenu to "Settings"
I think another combination needs to be entered so that you can see the other two menus. Someone offered to sell the information for 2000 Euros on BMWECU. Anyone interested in pitching in?

Glad a 135i owner chimed in. I've been looking to do this, but would be pretty pissed to have to look at random lights on my dashboard for no good reason.

Any other 135i owners out there do any euro coding not resulting in any new lights/codes?

I assume this is the same as the 335i:

Go to Check Control with the stalk
Press and hold BC button for a few seconds
Scroll through CC-ID's to get the #
Go HERE to find the actual error

I had the second one (among several others) when I updated my DSC module and had to recalibrate it in Progman.

yea, i think what happened was a threw those codes from a low voltage when coding. after we finished coding i had to jump my car so i am going to have my ECU reset tomorrow and start over with my battery hooked up to constant power.
