thanks guys for reply.
Do either of you guys (pete of vince) do coding or have the software for the f-series bimmers. I finally got the ENET cable (for the FSeries) and it came with 5 freak'n discs (ebay) which i installed on my laptop (around 20gb) but have been unsuccessful to open the software (seems to be mutliple compressed files which wont open even with winzip or winrar) and was hoping to play around with it b4 the meet. I also noted that some forum members say you need "esys' and "pzdata" to run the program. Any clues guys?

I've got an ISTA setup which I beleive will work with an ENET cable. I haven't had success with it yet as I don't have the good cable. You're welcome to give it a go. If you want the ISTA Virtual machine its 139GB. ISTA is compatible with all the latest BMWs up to 2015

It may do. I'm not entirely sure. Have a read here:

cool s.lim.
see you there on the day.

Ok everyone, one week away from the melbourne meet and coding session people. ive got a fair number of people already putting their name down and sending me PM on this forum as well as the other forums i have posted (1/2/3/4/5/M series aussie forums) so should be a great turnout. If you haven't done so, please either send me a PM or post a name reply to this thread to let me know so I know how much goodies to bring on the day for attendance (ie donuts/croissants etc).

Cheers...

im a lurker, and a noob around here... will try and make it just to learn more about the scene and my own car.

[T1M]

Stupid question perhaps but what kind of coding options are available for a 1M? What can be done vs how they come stock?

I coded features into my Golf R that were disabled from factory, like rain sensor window up, tear-drop wiper enable, adaptive lights etc but unsure what if anything is 'missing' from a 1M.

1. things like the safety pop-up screen when you start the car (can be deleted).
2. have dvd/tv running/ playing when driving
3. speedometer showing digital readout on dash instead of relying on the needle
4. auto mirror folding when locking car.

considering its already an "M", most of the features are already on the car compared to other regular non "M"s

Main thing I would say is removing the idrive legal disclaimer nag warning.

You already have digital speedo on the dash.
- If you already have idrive then a lot of the lighting options are configurable via that instead of coding it.
- Can code some stuff to activate with the keyfob e.g mirrors and windows
- Code the sunroof to close on rain sensor activation (bit pointless as the rain sensor isn't automatically turned on when the ignition is on)
- Eject key by pressing and holding engine stop button (instead of having to press the key to eject)
- If you have fitted LED bulbs can remove the cold/warm checks that may throw error codes or induce flicker
- Increase angel eye pwm duty cycle (makes angel eyes brighter)
- Can code out your high beam assist mirror icon in the instrument cluster so your cluster displays the mileage and current display (e.g speedo fuel consumption etc) at the same time. Your high beam assist will still work.

This is a dropbox link of some NCSDummy dumps for a few different modules. These give you a list of every configurable options of an ECU. Most of them have a brief description of each setting. Open it in notepad++ so it renders properly

I will be doing tutorial + basic coding for people at the meet.

Will not be doing any flashes e.g Alpina flashes for AT transmissions due to not having battery backup for safety.

If anyone has any coding requests, put them here so I don't have to research the coding item on the day.

Will the auto mirror fold/unfold work with comfort access? Or only using the key fob

If you have comfort access, it should auto fold according to this page. I wish I had powerfold mirrors

[terminator335i]

Vtl is the guru...
get rid of my start/stop function (permanently disable the damn thing)...plus i dont think that is good for the turbos in the long run. (id rather have them working for longer than save a few cents on petrol....
Also Vincent, can you check to see if Active sound can be turned on for Non M cars...Heard it was a feature in the F series.
cheers.

sweet. would love to get that coded and code out high beam assist icon

Unfortunately BMW Standard tools can't code F series BMWs. I should be able to do that stuff with ISTA, but have never attempted connecting an F series BMW before. We will try connecting to your car on Sunday and see how it goes.

If your car came with Active sound then you can, if your car was an early build without ASD you can't. Why would you want active sound anyway? I want to get rid of it ..

[Chandon]

I'd rather listen to active sound than a clunky diesel or a dull 4 cylinder lol

Cant you code F-series with E-Sys and an Enet compatible cable?

The first would be great, message drives me nuts!

High beam assist though, I don't think I have it? Any way to check? Google says it's a blue sensor on the back of the rearview but some have said they see the sensor but HBA doesn't work. Was this standard on Australian 1Ms do you know?
