Thanks!
This is where using NCS dummy REALLY helps - it will show the German name and then an English translation. Yes, the parenthesis are the shorthand for what NCS Expert actually sees in the TRC file. Sometimes, that shorthand is preceded by the model designation for your car. So for my E84 X1, to disable Brake Fading Compensation the parameter would be listed as e84_HPS. For a E91 it would be e91_hps or just simply HPS. It depends on how new the DSC module is.

For Maximum Brake Support I need to double check, I did not have an abbreviation in my notes but I also don't see that parameter in my saved TRC file. I also don't see a "MBS" though so I will check tonight and update the blog if it is wrong.

EDIT: I just checked and Maximum Brake Support is listed as "HVV" in the DSC file. So the parameter for my X1 is e84_HVV.
