You are a wizard.. I've watch many videos about coding the one thing, where they go through the menues quickly, but I never truely understood what they did or what the things actually do. Replicating the one thing is easy, but for the other things I wanted to code, there where no specific guides. I couldn't really grasp what the difference between the FA changes and specific changes in the code where, or what the loaded FA file actually means. With this video you helped me out a ton in understanding all that.
After watching this video, coding a BMW to enhance its maximum potential and after retrofits looks simple and easy ! 😎. Thank you for showing a detailed approach for coding. Please do more videos like this in the future🤞

I wish i found this video earlier. I wanted to code enhanced BT in my bmw f30 but the head unit lost all Bluetooth connection and now I can no longer code it to the default settings… but you live and you learn. That was the first and last time I mess with E-Sys.
Following your videos, I did my first FA coding today I retrofitted High FZD to add alarm To be honest it didn’t allow me to do coding first as the code option was grayed out but your videos gave me courage to look around; I don’t know exactly how, but I managed to code it😅 Thanks for your efforts Would you please make a video about coding donor parts
Super Très bon tuto avec beaucoup d'explications et une très bonne pédagogie. Je passe du codage de ma e39 au codage de ma nouvelle G30 et cela va beaucoup m'aider Félicitation et un grand merci
Hello thanks bro for these amazing video but I didn’t understand why the professional navigation is 606 not 609 you replace it how did you code it then
Just perfect, now i understand better. How can you upgrade the firmware of the retrofitted nbt-evo? That would be very interesting (fullscreen carplay ☺️)
Can u may share your Cheat Sheet? I was not able to find a accurate one for my G30. I am very unsure after editing the FA because i never know how many and witch ECU I should code to get things work.
Help me understand this VO/FA coding. Does it change car state in a way it knows it has ie. Xenon Adaptive lights or this procedure is to trick the car it has adaptive xenons so you code just some modules, but car is still not aware of if (factory state)? In a situation, I actually add adaptive xenons to my car (ie. replace halogens with adaptive xenons) I use VO/FA coding for this? If yes, how you know which modules require re-coding? How you know KOMBI doesn't require coding when retrofitting something to a car?
Hi Vladimir, thank you for your videos, they are very helpful! i have a question... I have retrofitted on my Bmw F10 harman/kardon sound system from basic one and i need to code it myself, how can i find what code do i need to put in VA and i suppose that i have to go and code in the HU (Head Unit) in the past i have retrofitted big screen CIC as my car from factory had small screen CIC. Someane else coded CIC when retrofitted. When i will try to code my Harman Kardon am i gonna lose any coding that was needed for my CIC? Regards.
Hi, thank you for the great work, I learned so much. Though, one point is still not clear. How haven't you lost connection to NBT EVO(which is 609) when you VO coded the car for adaptive lights? You mentioned everything would turn to the factory settings when VO coded.
You are absolutely right, but FEM ECU does not care what headunit is installed. Because all headunits are at the same diagnostic address x63 and FEM just receives information from HU. That’s why I was still able to see Evo 😉
Владимир, здравствуйте! Собираюсь купить BMW g20 из Кореи, но там нет русского языка. Как его закодировать правильно? - просто добавить в комплектацию S6UD и S8LR? кодировать сразу все блоки, или выборочно? Или там другой алгоритм?
Hello Vladimir, thanks for Your very good videos about esys. Can You also show how to write the fa and do fdl coding after this to let vehicle updateable for Ista+/p. The way You showed is without the step of writing FA in memory module. Maybe You can make a extra Video about the FA writing and then coding and prepare fdl for it and compare to code without writing (pro/cons). Thank You for your great Videos
20:50 You explained that when FA is changed it is not recommended to code all ECUs, just single ECUs. I agree with you! But how do you know which ECUs are affected by a change in the FA in order to code only these?
The best video i have seen explaining e-sys, but can you clarify the following. My head unit failed so i installed an identical one sourced from ebay. I now get error code B7F882 'Control Unit is coded for vehicle'. Its identical an part number to the prior unit, so the VO should be the same. What do i do to code the new head unit to the vehicle if it is identical to the prior one?

Hi Vladimir! Thank you so much for your videos. I am just getting started and have used your videos to learn. I have of course also subbed ;-) I have a question I hope you can help me with.

I have read I should change this to 2TB. Lastly, I don't have FEM-body? What should I do from here? Thank you very much!
Dear Vladimir. Thank you for your video, it's really helpful. I have a question, if we code 2TB instead of 205, how do we recognise which modules should be coded?
thank u for what u giving r amazing i subscribed to ur channel and following all ur videos plzz can u make a video how to uses Esys when u change a damaged control module replacing it with a used1 with another chassis number thank u
How to load saved FA back to car (here You showed only how to save it)? Does all FDL coding data comes back with saved FA (FDL coding were made before FA saving)? I coded ecu to factory using this video guide. Hope You will understand what I wanted to ask :D
So if you change the timeCriteria to a date later than your vehicle was manufactured, does that mean you get backwards compatibility with all previous modules? Is this safe to do in all cases?
Super Thanks! It's impressive, the best instructive content. I want to code out VDC(EDC) of F2x series. Hope it works in the same manner, maybe by deleting "2VF" from somewhere(s). Anyone, please give the instruction!!
@@BimDoc Hi, Thank you for your comment. You showed the method to restore the change by reverting the data manually in FA. Although it's good to restore a few changes, it may be difficult to restore many changes at one time. it's . So, could you tell the steps to restore the original settings from the backup file, just in case for the safety?
@@BimDoc Hi, please allow me one more question. I guess there are cases that more than one ECU nodes have to be coded even if only one item was changed/deleted/added in VO. If my guess is true, how can you tell which other ECU node(s) should run "Code"?
Nice Video! I would like to retrofit option 5DV-RCP. My G30 (2020) has following options available: 322-Comfort Access 2TE-Steptronic transmission with shift paddles 5DN-Parking Assistant Plus 3DS-Remote Display Key Is it required to install additional Hardware, or only coding? PS: My Remote Display Key has no additional Button for RCP on the right side. Can it be used for RCP or do I need to purchase another variant?
Hello! In your video person didn’t change FA from 606 to 609 then how they managed to make nbtevo work properly? And one more question, if I would like to activate sport transmition I changed FA (to 2TB) and after it I have to coding what ECU? I don’t have steering shifters.
Thanks for these videos, really useful and well explained. I have a question. I have a mini F54 with classic led (5a2). I’m going to replace them by matrix led. So i need to change the VO to delete 5a2 and replace by the new option code, maybe also change the date for one corresponding for the new headlights. After that, i know that i have to read ÉCU and code the modules FLE. Another modules to code ? Thanks for your help !
You are thinking in a right direction! Don’t forget to check wiring (might be different on 5A2 and 552) Also chassis positioning sensors (front and rear axle)
Thanks for all the input! Just had to replace an old EKPM. Is there any guide you could share on the easiest way to program it? Have both E-Sys and ISTA+ but a complete dummy with both. Only got to the point when both of them read the car specs.
Very nice video, I would love a video how to code and program a second hand replacement module in a car, Would that be the same? Just code the FA to the specific module? Or requires extra steps like vin number
Touching on the headunit topic here, mine was a basic EntryNav 6” display and changed to 12” android display but the screen just won’t go to wide screen and if I coded to split screen the right side was just blacked out. I had no choice but just view my screen on half left.
@@BimDoc The android settings matches what the resolution I have set. If the res set to 800x480 and android setting 1280x480 it’ll become a stretch screen. If match 1280x480 both coding and android settings ; right side screen will blacked out. Initially I kept arguing to seller for months and ask them to resolve this but end up they say it is what it is.
@@BimDoc I have to come back and do a closure. Finally I got it to full screen. Using e-sys and BU launcher to edit ncd. Because my e-sys files are all dots. Many thanks to you for this guide. I can’t believe it. It’s only 2 things to code. Display resolution and display variante. While bimmercode and BU can’t make this work. Thanks again!
This is great, taking some quality notes so far! My question is, if I inject 5A2 FA into a vehicle with 1114 Zeitkriterium. How would it know to operate it? considering 5A2 LED Headlights were manufactured post 2018.
@@BimDoc thanks for this! I attempted to do this, but after hitting CODE on the BDC Body, it does the coding, no errors, but when I check again nothing was coded! what could be the reason?
Thank you for the awesome videos! This has helped immensely. I have a question about writing the FA: In what situations is it absolutely necessary to write an updated FA to the car? I am curious because I initially found "Beginners Coding Guide.pdf" which has very similar steps, but it differs in that the guide asks you to load the FA xml and then Write FA FP under VCM. What is the functional difference here? My assumption is that your method leaves the SA Options changed only in the FA file on the computer, whereas the other option permanently changes the FA options on the car itself. In either case you're still updating the individual modules using one of the FAs. is that correct? I'm assuming the latter is a bad idea in case you do not code the car correctly.
If that option you are changing can be present from factory in your vehicle, then you can write modified FA into your BMW. But if you are making somekind retrofit for example that was not present on your vehicle from the factory. (Installing NBT on a vehicle that was produced with CiC) In that case do not write modified FA into the vehicle.
this is the best informative video I ever found about E-Sys! thank you. I have a problem and hope you can help please. I retrofitted cruise control into my F20 and added the 544, also added 2TB and 6NS to enable bluetooth. the mistake I did was coded the entire ECU not just the ones required, and now I'm stuck with Drive train mulfanction and checkengine light, car is working fine thoos and the cruise control works fine. scanned the car via obd and it says: Error code: 1F2601: DME, coding missing and 2 transmission codes: CF2101 and CF1531 is there away to correct this? really apreciate any advice, thanks :)
@Ramy Enam I am looking to do the same thing to my F20, do you have an email I could email you on or a number as I can’t seem to find the download links for Esys please could you help?
@@mustaqkhalifa9700 I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but your best chances are either look for installation guides on UA-cam or bimmer forums
Thanks again Vladimir for a great video. I have an nbt next and an Entry Nav on my 2014 and 2015 cars. So if I change the time criteria to 0317 and VO from 606 to 609, I will have nbt evo and then I can buy car play from you. Which ecu's will have to be coded
18:17 You explained that to upgrade the NBT_EVO you not only had to adjust the FA, but also the time criterion. In this case, does the FA with the changed time criterion also have to be written into the car, or only as usual code the affected ECUs ?
What if you want to code an ECU based on the updated FA, but you don't know if any changes in the ECU were done by someone else in the past? Is there a way to backup and restore the current ECU setup in E-sys?
If the production date is changed for a retrofit, and another module has changed during that changed period of time, is it worth changing the production date to the original one after coding? For example, if the FEM module has been changed to a newer version at the factory over a period of time and you still have the old module in the car. You update the FEM module software, so the wrong software goes inside the module?
Car production date istep shipment should always remain the same in the car. Changing it is allowed only temporarily for retrofits. I suggest not to mess with I-step shipment
@@BimDoc I mean the Zeitkriterium change, not the istep shipment level. So is it possible to update the module's software incorrectly if I have changed the Zeitkriterium number to a newer one? Your videos are great 👍.
I've swapped out identical replacement headlights for my G Series and they need coding what is it i need to do? Change the VO and can it be done using Esys?
@@BimDoc Also EsysUltra? The ESysUltra supplier do not provide the overview on additional features or am I wrong? And thanks for you recommendation regarding Backup feature in ESysUltra, it did spare a lot of issues and time for me)
Hey, so I can make easily from xdrive to sdrive and reverse just by changing SALAPA element by knowing right code for sdrive and xdrive? And of-course need to know what ecu need to be coded (press code button on each ECU)? I think it should be DME DSC and maybe EGS?

Спасибо Владимир. БМВ хитрая машинка.
thank u for what u giving r amazing i subscribed to ur channel and following all ur videos plzz can u make a video how to uses Esys when u change a damaged control module replacing it with a used1 with another chassis number thank u
How to load saved FA back to car (here You showed only how to save it)? Does all FDL coding data comes back with saved FA (FDL coding were made before FA saving)? I coded ecu to factory using this video guide. Hope You will understand what I wanted to ask :D
Writing FA back is done via VCM tab
VO coding rewrites all FDL coding.
Thanks. I replaced second hand CIC bmw 740d 2011 f01 without Coding then camera not work who can support me?
Wo coding it will not work properly
In addition you need to activate navigation as well
So if you change the timeCriteria to a date later than your vehicle was manufactured, does that mean you get backwards compatibility with all previous modules? Is this safe to do in all cases?
Changing time criteria is allowed only for retrofits (advanced level). Do not write modified time criteria into the vehicle. It will not do any good!
Super Thanks! It's impressive, the best instructive content. I want to code out VDC(EDC) of F2x series. Hope it works in the same manner, maybe by deleting "2VF" from somewhere(s). Anyone, please give the instruction!!
It is possible. Key is in manipulations with SVT.
@@BimDoc Hi, Thank you for your comment. You showed the method to restore the change by reverting the data manually in FA. Although it's good to restore a few changes, it may be difficult to restore many changes at one time. it's . So, could you tell the steps to restore the original settings from the backup file, just in case for the safety?
@@BimDoc Hi, please allow me one more question. I guess there are cases that more than one ECU nodes have to be coded even if only one item was changed/deleted/added in VO. If my guess is true, how can you tell which other ECU node(s) should run "Code"?
Nice Video!
I would like to retrofit option 5DV-RCP.
My G30 (2020) has following options available:
322-Comfort Access
2TE-Steptronic transmission with shift paddles
5DN-Parking Assistant Plus
3DS-Remote Display Key
Is it required to install additional Hardware, or only coding?
PS: My Remote Display Key has no additional Button for RCP on the right side. Can it be used for RCP or do I need to purchase another variant?
HW is definitely needed
Coding will not be enough!
@@BimDoc do you know which HW is missing in that case?
Было очень полезно! Спасибо.
tnx u dear
Hello! In your video person didn’t change FA from 606 to 609 then how they managed to make nbtevo work properly?
And one more question, if I would like to activate sport transmition I changed FA (to 2TB) and after it I have to coding what ECU? I don’t have steering shifters.
For retrofits you need to modify FA and code ECUs with that. But you don’t save it into your car.
For sport tranny code EGS ICM KOMBI
@@BimDoc I watched your video with retrofit 6WB, you saved FA with 6WB into your car. Why with 606 to 609 it doesn’t necessary?
Thanks for these videos, really useful and well explained. I have a question. I have a mini F54 with classic led (5a2). I’m going to replace them by matrix led. So i need to change the VO to delete 5a2 and replace by the new option code, maybe also change the date for one corresponding for the new headlights. After that, i know that i have to read ÉCU and code the modules FLE. Another modules to code ? Thanks for your help !
You are thinking in a right direction!
Don’t forget to check wiring (might be different on 5A2 and 552)
Also chassis positioning sensors (front and rear axle)
Respect
Thanks for all the input! Just had to replace an old EKPM. Is there any guide you could share on the easiest way to program it? Have both E-Sys and ISTA+ but a complete dummy with both. Only got to the point when both of them read the car specs.
See video about SZL replacement. Procedure is the same
Very nice video,
I would love a video how to code and program a second hand replacement module in a car,
Would that be the same?
Just code the FA to the specific module? Or requires extra steps like vin number
That will be definitely one of the esys for dummies parts.
Touching on the headunit topic here, mine was a basic EntryNav 6” display and changed to 12” android display but the screen just won’t go to wide screen and if I coded to split screen the right side was just blacked out. I had no choice but just view my screen on half left.
Try to go inside settings in the Android to play with screen sizes
@@BimDoc The android settings matches what the resolution I have set. If the res set to 800x480 and android setting 1280x480 it’ll become a stretch screen. If match 1280x480 both coding and android settings ; right side screen will blacked out. Initially I kept arguing to seller for months and ask them to resolve this but end up they say it is what it is.
That’s why I don’t like not OEM solutions ((
@@BimDoc I have to come back and do a closure. Finally I got it to full screen. Using e-sys and BU launcher to edit ncd. Because my e-sys files are all dots. Many thanks to you for this guide. I can’t believe it. It’s only 2 things to code. Display resolution and display variante. While bimmercode and BU can’t make this work. Thanks again!
This is great, taking some quality notes so far! My question is, if I inject 5A2 FA into a vehicle with 1114 Zeitkriterium. How would it know to operate it? considering 5A2 LED Headlights were manufactured post 2018.
If smth is not compatible the esys will not allow you to calculate FP and tell you about that incomparability
And you will be not able to continue
@@BimDoc thanks for this! I attempted to do this, but after hitting CODE on the BDC Body, it does the coding, no errors, but when I check again nothing was coded! what could be the reason?
thank you
Thank you for the awesome videos! This has helped immensely. I have a question about writing the FA:
In what situations is it absolutely necessary to write an updated FA to the car? I am curious because I initially found "Beginners Coding Guide.pdf" which has very similar steps, but it differs in that the guide asks you to load the FA xml and then Write FA FP under VCM. What is the functional difference here?
My assumption is that your method leaves the SA Options changed only in the FA file on the computer, whereas the other option permanently changes the FA options on the car itself. In either case you're still updating the individual modules using one of the FAs. is that correct? I'm assuming the latter is a bad idea in case you do not code the car correctly.
If that option you are changing can be present from factory in your vehicle, then you can write modified FA into your BMW.
But if you are making somekind retrofit for example that was not present on your vehicle from the factory. (Installing NBT on a vehicle that was produced with CiC) In that case do not write modified FA into the vehicle.
How do you know which ecus you need to code for a particular option you add to VO?
Based on the experience or esys launcher can assist you in that (for example esys ultra will tell you)
very good video
Enjoy))
Привет. Иногда замечаю, что 4 цифры typecode не всегда соответствуют цифрам в vin номере. Обращал внимание? Почему так?
Вот не обращал. Может какая особенность рынка
А не планируешь сделать видео с программой BimmerCode?
Не пользуюсь ей.
this is the best informative video I ever found about E-Sys! thank you.
I have a problem and hope you can help please.
I retrofitted cruise control into my F20 and added the 544, also added 2TB and 6NS to enable bluetooth.
the mistake I did was coded the entire ECU not just the ones required, and now I'm stuck with Drive train mulfanction and checkengine light, car is working fine thoos and the cruise control works fine.
scanned the car via obd and it says:
Error code: 1F2601: DME, coding missing and 2 transmission codes: CF2101 and CF1531
is there away to correct this? really apreciate any advice, thanks :)
Yes if is solvable.
Recode all with stock FA
DDE needs cafd tonne inserted to fix your problem
@Ramy Enam I am looking to do the same thing to my F20, do you have an email I could email you on or a number as I can’t seem to find the download links for Esys please could you help?
@@mustaqkhalifa9700 I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but your best chances are either look for installation guides on UA-cam or bimmer forums
Thanks again Vladimir for a great video.
I have an nbt next and an Entry Nav on my 2014 and 2015 cars.
So if I change the time criteria to 0317 and VO from 606 to 609, I will have nbt evo and then I can buy car play from you.
Which ecu's will have to be coded
You are absolutely right
Code:
Kombi
NBT
ATM
ZBE
Should be enough for beginning
Thanks for the very quick reply.
Do I also have to replace the hardware, i.e. the head unit module and screen
Very useful video
Glad you think so!

You explained that to upgrade the NBT_EVO you not only had to adjust the FA, but also the time criterion.
In this case, does the FA with the changed time criterion also have to be written into the car, or only as usual code the affected ECUs ?
Do not write modified FA into vehicle
Code only affected ECUs
What if you want to code an ECU based on the updated FA, but you don't know if any changes in the ECU were done by someone else in the past? Is there a way to backup and restore the current ECU setup in E-sys?
It’s a good question
Yes there is a way to make a backup!
Actually you will see that in part three of the same manual.
If the production date is changed for a retrofit, and another module has changed during that changed period of time, is it worth changing the production date to the original one after coding? For example, if the FEM module has been changed to a newer version at the factory over a period of time and you still have the old module in the car. You update the FEM module software, so the wrong software goes inside the module?
Car production date istep shipment should always remain the same in the car.
Changing it is allowed only temporarily for retrofits.
I suggest not to mess with I-step shipment
@@BimDoc I mean the Zeitkriterium change, not the istep shipment level. So is it possible to update the module's software incorrectly if I have changed the Zeitkriterium number to a newer one? Your videos are great 👍.
I've swapped out identical replacement headlights for my G Series and they need coding what is it i need to do? Change the VO and can it be done using Esys?
Follow that guide 😉

How do we make sure which ECU should be coded with the new FA? I mean the depencies for dedicated ECUs they are involved into the "new" option.
Different launchers have built in extra options to show that.
@@BimDoc Also EsysUltra? The ESysUltra supplier do not provide the overview on additional features or am I wrong? And thanks for you recommendation regarding Backup feature in ESysUltra, it did spare a lot of issues and time for me)
Would you always do hardware changes first before coding?
Yes and no.
If I’m 100% that those hardware changes will be accepted then yes.
If I’m not sure, then research is needed. Not to waste time
@@BimDoc thank you!
Hey, so I can make easily from xdrive to sdrive and reverse just by changing SALAPA element by knowing right code for sdrive and xdrive? And of-course need to know what ecu need to be coded (press code button on each ECU)? I think it should be DME DSC and maybe EGS?
Converting form AWD to RWD is not so straight forward
БМВ Х6 Ф16 2016г. На NBT (не EVO) не активна функция "передача данных по блютуз", чтобы использовать телефон как модем через блютуз. Все есть, телесервис, камеры, кнопка SOS, распознавание знаков, нави проф..
Можно активировать "передача данных по блютуз"? Где я живу с этим не сталкивались.
Если можно, подскажите в каком месте! Спасибо.
Это так не будет работать (
Да и нет нужны в этом.
@@BimDoc чего и спросили, есть нужда в этом. Понимаю, что многое не понимаю.
Part 3 please
Working on it ))
I VO coded 2TB, should I write it to the car in VCM or not? What is the best approach?
I always prefer to write it into VCM
Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста как перекодировать диодные туманки?
Это модно сделать как через FDL так и по FA
