I've been doing research on the eyebrow section of the headlight and it seems that the European cars eyebrow is brighter then the U.S. version. Also, the 2 series has an option in idrive settings to turn off the eyebrow. This leads me to believe that coding a brighter brow is possible.

thanks! i'll try that tomorrow

Is there a way to read the firmware version of the car? And what is the latest version for the f30, 2012 cic?

Hello I have a 2013 335i that I'd like to do some coding on. I know this is my first post, and I looked for a new member introduction area but I couldn't find it.

I would like to get the E-sys software, token, and pszd file.

thanks!

kevbo · 11-18-2014, 12:06 PM

Hi Shawn,

Can I please have a link to the E-Sys software and what ever else is needed for coding my F34.

Thank You!

Not really. The closest you can get to a release date is the I-Step Name, which includes the Year and Month, F020-14-11-502, but that won't let you distinguish it from another release in the same month such as F020-14-11-501.

There are release notes that come with each major release, like 54.0, but minor updates like 54.1 and 54.2 don't get any. And the release notes that do accompany major releases do not detail any new coding features and are of little interest.

What 'big' I step changes should I think of?

Could you give some examples of the changes that were made in the software in the i step updates? Should i think of better fuel economy, smoother idrive etc? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction?

wrong direction.

if im correct, i-step is software version...which i believe is in regards to features and functions (closing mirrors, dvd while driving, etc)

For Example:

HUD Entertainment List
SIRI Voice
Volume OSD (On-Screen Display)
Launch Control
ECO Pro
BMW Apps for Android
Bluetooth AVRCP 1.4 support including Bluetooth Browsing and Album Art
SDARS Station Logos
Touch Controller Support

All these examples were added to firmware at some point in time and require a minimum I-Level in in order to be enabled.

hugoalvim · 11-21-2014, 10:28 AM

Hi, where can I download E Sys? I'm changing my laptop, and my link for E-Sys 3.24.2 and PSDZData v51.2 is not working.

Regards

Oke tnx! Thats clear.

hsk1610 · 11-21-2014, 05:05 PM

installed E-Sys 3.26.1 and the lite psdzData set 53.5.

ran E-Sys, F-20, connect by VIN. Go to load FA and then get the following error:

PSzD Error
NO FP could be generated from FA "". [C002]
no FA2FP known for Entwicklungsbaureihe F030 [858]

Where did I go wrong in the installation? I've updated my E-Sys and the Psdzdata set because my previous token had expired.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

hugoalvim · 11-21-2014, 07:00 PM

Hi Hsk1610, could you pass me the links to download this E-Sys and PsdzData?

Someone know if its possible to add Android Apps? My car has S609A and IOS apps, but I use a Galaxy S4....

The new models in Brazil are coming with portuguese voice command. Mine has english and other languages, but not portuguese. Its possible to add it too?

Regards.
