How to do BMW G Series Coding with BMW ICOM cable

Topic: How to do BMW G Series Coding with BMW ICOM cable
I’ve collect all useful tips of BMW G series coding on the web and make a write-up here. Hope it helps.
Q: Is it possible to code BMW G-series and wich software? E-sys is not possible?
A: Coding G series is with ESYS. I think you need pro launcher from Tokenmaster. It was written somewhere on the forum but maybee you can ask Tokenmaster.
Q: Have any good success if G series coding?
A: I have successfully coded G-series. You need Pro Launcher.
Q: Do we know if it’s possible at all to code the G-series?
A: Coding is possible with E-SYS, but problem is the mapping/trimmed CAFD’s on new ECU’s. But for excisting ECU’s not a problem (BDC_BODY, NBT2, ACSM etc.)
Q: Can I code G11 with Esys?
A: Tried to code G11 today.
My I-level is S15A-16-07-506, used data 5.94.
I found S15A target in Esys.
S15A psdzdata covers F090/G001/G002/G011/G012/G030/G031/G032/RR11/RR12/RR31
Q: Could you share with me your launcher pro’s token and activation code ?
A: This is not possible. Token and activation code are valid for 1 PC only. This is how it works: you ask Token Master, he sends token, you install Launcher Pro with the token, Launcher generates request code, you send it to Token Master, he sends you activation code in response.
Q: Which E-sys can be used for G series coding?
A: E-Sys:
S15A psdzdata covers G001/G002/G011/G012/G013/G030/G031/G032
S15C psdzdata covers G008/G038
Q: Which tool for G series?
A: I’m perfectly aware what ICOM Next from OBD2TOOL is and I have it.
Icom next runs a gigabyte lan port. So if router and laptop also running gigabyte ports you increase speed, that’s only if the car and software allow it.
Also the Icom next is faster for G series cars which I suspect also have gigabyte Ethernet bus.
Also it has USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 and a better wifi card.
Ps. It’s a copy, from http://www.obd2tool.com/search-BMW+ICOM.html
Q: Which BMW ICOM can i use for G30?
A: Any icom will work , but to be safe with f,g,i series vehicles , use a dedicated router as kafas huh and a few other modules will crash if you do not use a router it handles the switches for Ethernet as those modules use more than 1 path way , in short it uses all 4 two pair wires and without router not good , this has worked for me for some time now good luck. note my router does not connect to wan
Q: What tool is used for G30 flash or coding?
A: Flashed all Cars with BMW ICOM Next and Online Aos with DHCP over Router. Since that i have Never any Problems with NBT or other. Flash E/F/G with this Setup.
Note that Online Aos is the online version of the BMW software for Diagnostic, Programming any many other things.
Q: How to do G30 coding?
A: BMW G30 has a quite a lot of differences in ECU, so wanted to share my findings here.
Note:
– This is Not a comprehensive list of options But options that are unique from options standard across the recent models.
– Read SVT does Not work, use Read ECU instead.
– Ensure vehicle engine is running before you press Read ECU button otherwise you won’t get the full list of ECUs.
ECU: SAS [Driver Assistance Systems]
ACC Default Distance: C_Abstandsstufe_init -> Set to 2
Blind Spot Detection: Note that G30 has a multiple Blind Spot Detection Modules, and you need to set Speed setting for each. For each radar module there is a separate KMH and MPH Setting so 6 in all.
E.g.
C_LCA_SWW_Vmin_KMH – set to 55km/h
C_LCA_SWW_Vmin_MPH – set to Option 0 (Werte 22)
ECU: HU_NBT [Head Unit]
G30 has a hardware limitation and max Video-In-Motion you can get via E-sys is 63 km/h (around 39 mph). After following standard VIM coding, Ensure that
SPEEDLOCK_SPEEDVALUE_MIN: Werte=1F
SPEEDLOCK_SPEEDVALUE_MAX: Werte=3F
ECU: DKOMBI [Instrument Cluster]
Remove Speed Limit Sign from HUD: HUD_SPEED_LIMIT_ENABLE DKOMBI
ECU: IHKA [Climate Control] – Not Tested
This encoding value determines whether the previous settings (Last Function) should be used when switching from the Auto mode to Manual mode, in manual mode, or whether the settings from “Auto” should be used when changing from the car to the manual mode.
LAST_FCT_AUTO_MAN
Default: AKTIV (Active) = 01
HO coding in order to be able to manipulate front-end adjustment of the ventilation (if necessary, in the case of special large-scale customer requests)
3003 -> VERTRIMMUNG_BEL_FRONT (Front Face)
keine = 00
3003 -> VERTRIMMUNG_FUSS_FRONT (Front Feet)
keine = 00
OPTIONS
keine = 00 (No)
kaelter = 01 (Colder)
waermer = 02 (Warmer)
ECU: BDC_Body -> 1DF7 – Comfort Access Settings
3514 PMaster Has Comfort Access Related Settings
ECU: ACSM – Safety Related Settings
Settings for SeatBelt Reminders and such

Step to install BMW ISTA+ with all programming data

19-1
I have read that BMW will stop support F and G series from Ista P.
Is there somewhere a good tutorial how to install the new ISTA+ with all programming data included.
There are a lot of different software SPD delta, etc etc. How to install and which files to use
Here you go…
First you need ICOM to get ISTA+ programming to work. Yes, you can have tested ISTA+ download from cardiagtool.co.uk or use the psdzdata FULL from @Shawn which is an easier route for *you* than using the sdp deltas and ISTA Launcher Console.
Instructions:
1- rename C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data\psdzdata to psdzdata.orig
2- extract psdzdata FULL in C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data, browse to C:\Rheingold\PSdZ\data\psdzdata\swe\swfl and check that there is lots of files…
3- you need to enter those two registry entries for x64 OS:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\ISTA]
“InstallLocation”=”C:\\Rheingold”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BMWGroup\ISPI\Rheingold]
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.Enabled”=”True”
“BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath”=”C:\\Rheingold\\PSdZ\\data”
PS: if you can’t read faults with ISTA, your installations has some issues.
Note:
I don’t use ISTA programming as I don’t have BMW ICOM.
I only use Esys/ENET for flashing/programming. Pretty powerful and lets you do stuff that ISTA will never do (like flash GTS DCT software for non GTS M4)
Here are two different entries to point to psdz.
1) BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath”=”C:\\Rheingold\\PSdZ\\data
is all that is included in Diagnosis-only ISTA+
2) BMW.Rheingold.Programming.PsdzDataPath”=”C:\\Rheingold\\PSdZ\\data_swi
is what is needed for programming Fxx/Ixx/Gxx-series with BMW ICOM A2(ie SDP). But, you could change to whatever you want in registry.

BMW ICOM A3 or BMW ICOM NEXT

Hello mates. I do not know what to choose between BMW ICOM A3 HW 1.38 and BMW ICOM NEXT A + B + C HW 1.40
please help me with some advice
18-1
18-2
BMW ICOM A3 HW 1.38: http://www.obd2tool.com/goods-5216-201609+New+BMW+ICOM+A3BCD+Professional+Diagnostic+Tool+with+Free+Wifi+Function.html
BMW ICOM NEXT A + B + C HW 1.40: http://www.obd2tool.com/goods-6940-BMW+ICOM+NEXT+ABC+New+Generation+OF+ICOM+A2+With+201707V+Engineers+software+Plus+Lenovo+T410+Laptop+Ready+to+Use.html
Reply 1: Both of these have the same hardware. None of them are clones of anything also. A3 is fully china version of ICOM, there is no original version looking like this crap. NEXT is just looking as genuine NEXT, but with old A1/A2 hardware inside, like A3.
Reply 2: I recommend buying an original Icom next. It is priced roughly at 500 euro. Take in consideration that you will probably work on cars that are worth 30-40k euro or maybe more and if your chinese icom fails you even once, you will be spending a lot of money on a bricked ecu.
Reply 3: You can have a Icom Next HQ clone if you don’t have much budget of it. This tool handles multiprogramming and coding quite nicely, much faster in BMW F and G series and if flashing the complete vehicle. It supports gigabit Ethernet too to be future proof, there currently is not gigabit Ethernet protocol defined yet for autos. will be compatibility for future cars. Also, it has a better wifi card and USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 (USB 3.0 is theoretically more than ten times faster than USB 2.0. We need usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 flash drive formatted with FAT32.)
No comments on China knockoff quality, I mean an ICOM Next interface.
Reply 4: Buy a icom next original or HQ clone, these are for a decent price now

BMW E-Series Programming with ICOM ISTAP, not ISTA+

There are different systems for vehicle diagnosis (ISTA) and programming (ISTA/P) used. This means it was necessary to change systems several times when repairing a vehicle using software.
ISTA+ has been expanded so that all the required programming functions for the series F, G and I are integrated.
E-series vehicles still have to be programmed using BMW ICOM ISTA/P!
The functions relevant for programming can be accessed via the following menus:
17-1
Vehicle treatment
1.Software update o Comfort – as per the suggested measures plan
o Advanced – with broadened scope
o Additional software (range of functions is not active yet)
2. Control unit replacement o Before exchange (preparation) – control unit read-out for the exchange
o After exchange (subsequent evaluation) – control unit configuration after exchange
3.Vehicle modification o Retrofit
o Conversion
o Conversion (only coding)
o Backfitting
o Immediate measures
17-2
So, what for E series coding/programming?
For Exx- Series:
Interface = K+DCAN Cable (OBDII to USB) or ICOM
ECU Data Files = SP-Daten
NCS Expert = Coding Software
WinKFP = Programming (Flashing) Software
EDIABAS = Low-Level ECU Communication Software used by NCS Expert & WinKFP
For Coding, you need NCS Expert / SP-Daten for E-Series
All Diagnosis and Coding can be done with a cheap K+Dcan cable
For Programming (Flashing ECU’s with new Firmware), then you need ISTA/P for for E-Series, or you can use WinKFP for it. And you will need a BMW ICOM cable (ICOM A2/ICOM A3 or ICOM Next)
YOU HAVE TO KNOW before you buy ICOM A2 or ICOM A3 or ICOM Next:
ICOM Next vs the old ICOM
-> much faster in BMW F and G series ..
-> supports gigabit Ethernet too to be future proof, there currently is not gigabit Ethernet protocol defined yet for autos. Also it has USB3.0 instead of USB2.0 and a better wifi card.
So, Icom next a works much better.
BMW ICOM A+B+C vs ICOM A2
-> more stable during programming
-> be necessary for the future Gbit cars
-> faster start-up times and high throughput
-> through high-performance,low-power ARM SoC
-> improved handling
-> more flexible OBD cable
-> lighted button for logs

In sum, Icom next wins!
ICOM A3 vs ICOM NEXT
Both of these have the same hardware. None of them are clones of anything also. A3 is fully china version of ICOM, there is no original version looking like this crap. NEXT is just looking as genuine NEXT, but with old A1/A2 hardware inside, like A3.
I recommend buying an Icom next. It is priced roughly at 500 euro. Take in consideration that you will probably work on cars that are worth 30-40k euro or maybe more and if your chinese icom fails you even once, you will be spending a lot of money on a bricked ecu.
ICOM A vs ICOM A2 vs ICOM A3
Modified ICOM A2 for vehicles with OBD access receives a significantly more powerful processor and more storage capacity. And robust aluminium case will help to avoid damage when using in harsh environments. It works better in cooling, runs faster and works more stable, not easier broken than older ICOM A.
ICOM A3 can program all units for all BMW series expect media system, and work more stable and has stronger compatibility than ICOM A2, A1.
In short, ICOM NEXT A+B+C works perfect; it’s the best option.

BMW ICOM ISTA-D 4.07.13 FAQs:
Q: I tried it out, and it works fine. But after deleting some error codes, it froze, but after I restarted the program, the codes were erased, is there any specific reason why that happened?
A: If you are using a INPA k+Dcan interface, you might need a Voltage Control tool in order to properly close the operation.
If not, you might have some issues with your local installation and/or software environment and/or prerequisites needed for ISTA D.
Q: my question was: is fw-03-15-02 an officially update for icom? Or is here something modded, like “03-15-00-unprotected” or so? Because there is only one file different to 03-15-00. In the past there was always two different files.
A: Official.
Q: Does anyone have License for ISPI Admin Client 5.1.6.181?

For people who want to use the web interface instead.
Q: I just wanna ask about the difference between the ISTA\D or P , ISTA+ and ISPI_ISTA ?? because I have a BMW E60 535XI 2008 and I wanna choose the best option for my car to diagnose or program , and also can I use that program with a K-DCAN OBD II cable which is the same I use for coding or I need to use another one ?
A: ISTA/D is for diagnostics of all BMW’s, Mini, and RR. It can only program Fxx/Ixx/Gxx-series BMW.
For E-series, you can use K+DCAN USB cable with ISTA+ for diagnostics, but you need BMW ICOM A+B+C and ISTA-P or Winkfp for programming.
Q: can’t I for examle update my ECU with sp-daten files using K+DCAN cable using Winkfp ? since it can be done using the same method but with another adapter like “iCarly’ ? I mean why acn’t I program using K+DCAN cable with ISTA P since ICOM is more expensive
A: Carly is a bluetooth device. K+DCAN cable will not work for two reasons; it cannot communicate over “most” interface (multimedia ECU’s) and would potentially take days to program with higher rate of likely failure. An BMW ICOM A2 emulator is less expensive than replacing an ECU.
Q: Now can you please guide me on what and where to buy a good quality of ICOM as I read that ICOM A+B+C from Obd2tool.com is good but I really don’t know how much does it cost and from where to buy it since I saw some on AliExpress but I don’t trust Chinese quality.
A:
ICOM A: main interface
ICOM B: adapter for programming multimedia in E series
ICOM C: adapter for old BMW with round 20 pin diagnostic plug
ICOM D: adapter for motorcycles
You can purchase directly from dealerships; though not sure they are still selling A2’s. If you read the ISTA-P release notes, you will see that next does not always work for E-series. Or, have a try ICOM here:
Q: I’m trying to update SDP but from all files only German language was updated.
I’m doing that all the time but now I have problem and I can solve myself.
What I’m doing wrong?
A: It does not look like anything is updated. You must have xml’s and istapackage for it to work.
Q: I have now installed and changed old ISTA with new 4.07 but now ISTA says that data are incompatible?
A: It is normal, you only update databases, you have not updated ISTA APP
Current ISTA version should be the same as thread title after you apply Reg fix included with standalone.
just install new ISTA and solved

Part 5 – How to shut down ISTA/P
Ensure session has ended and cleared from the session overview list. Then close down the Car Scanner ISTA/P window. The loader will then shutdown everything safely. Alternatively use the shutdown button on the ISTA/P notification icon.

(Solved) ISTA-P folder not exist, improper PC shutdown

I have solved an ISTA-P problem that happen in case of improper shutdown of windows 7 32bit, ISTA–P version 3.61.5.000.
With help of users > darckreign1984 and AutoExe3219 I was able to discover following. 8 hours of labor.
If you see a screen, that BMW ICOM ISTA-P folder does not exist anymore, just check if there is a folder named Dataprocurement in following two directories :
istap-fail
C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW
C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\Taurus
If there is no such directories, you must copy them from another location in the PC. The location is :
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\BMW Group\BMW ISTA-P Loader V6.1F\6.1.1.0\dataprocurement
There ate the two separate directories that simply have to be copied to the directories listed above. Then just start the loader and fill up the form with a data that you want. Then, from the loader page choose BMW cars and you are good to go.
Loader_Success
Remember. Never try to shut down the PC before the loader is completelu shut down.
Make a backup of the critical locations to be able to make a restore in case of such accident.
Maybe this thread could be a sticky Auto Scanner Tool.

Why do i need BMW ICOM A2 icom B icom C icom D?

The passage here explains the reasons for BMW Diagnostic Tool icom a (a2, a3), icom b, icom c and icom d for BMW diagnosis, coding and programming. And also, you will know what you should need for use in different repairing situations.
ICOM A (A2, A3) – OBD diagnostic supporting MOST, D-CAN and K-CAN protocols
1-1
ICOM A is a basic component.  Physically, on one hand, it supplies the interface that connects with car OBD II diagnosing interface; on the other hand, it can supply the interface that is self-adaptable intergraded into garage. As protocol converter, it is responsible for testing and data exchange in different controlling units, as well as signal processing through a high effective computer core. Electrical power pressure is supplied by vehicle interface. The lowest power pressure of Electrical operation of ICOM A is fixed to 8V. Only it exceeds the lowest value, can a stable function be guaranteed.
ICOM A vs ICOM A2 vs ICOM A3
Modified BMW ICOM A2 for vehicles with OBD access receives a significantly more powerful processor and more storage capacity. And robust aluminium case will help to avoid damage when using in harsh environments. It works better in cooling, runs faster and works more stable, not easier broken than older ICOM A.
ICOM A3 can program all units for all BMW series expect media system, and work more stable and has stronger compatibility than ICOM A2, A1.
ICOM B – diagnosis via MOST bus, and possess link to A-interface through USB connection
1-2
ICOM B for vehicles with optical MOST access will be equipped with a soft cover made of rubber instead of the former plastic cap, to protect the MOST connector
ICOM B is the external MOST interface of ICOM A, and it connect with ICOM A by a usual USB or that within supplying. Power is supplied by USB through ICOM A from OBD2TOOL.
Only when the power supplied to ICOM A lower to 8V, can electrical running of ICOM B be ready to connect with standard.
ICOM C–20-pin cable for previous types
1-3
ICOM C for old series with a diagnostics socket will be additionally equipped with an approx. 20 cm long cable, which facilitates the connection of the ICOM A2 and makes storage in the engine compartment easier.
ICOM C in an intelligent interface converter, which makes OBD II compatible with BMW round plug. As a lengthened auxiliary module, it makes ICOM A connects with non-OBD II vehicle module. Power is supplied by round plug through KL30.
The lowest pressure of ICOM C electrical running regulated to 8v. Electrical pressure on KL30 is conveyed to OBD II through internal equipment, and then to ICOM A. Only when vehicle battery voltage ICOM C exceeds to the lowest limitation, can it guarantee the stable interactivity of the two equipments.
ICOM A2, ICOM B, ICOM C connection:
1-4
ICOM A B C and BMW E & F-series
1-5
Save a lot for E and F series:
BMW E series: K+DCAN USB cable
BMW F series: ENET cable
ICOM D – for BMW motorcycles motobikes diagnostics
1-6
ICOM D is a 10-pin to 16-pin diagnostic cable for BMW motorcycles motobikes diagnostic and programming together with ICOM A2
It is the TOP 1 in the BMW motor diagnostics list, with the most powerful & stable function and the best reputation.
ICOM D connector location:

BMW E-sys ENET vs Carly for BMW

Which better for BMW F series coding: BMW E-sys ENET or Carly for BMW?
bmw icom cable-2
Look here:
Carly: not for coding; E sys: coding success
I have been using Carly on my F30 for over a year, but not for coding, as that’s still not supported on Android. Carly can read and clear diagnostic codes and a host of other things that E-Sys isn’t meant to do. I recommend going to their website and checking on its capabilities there. From what they’ve told me, their F-chassis coding will probably be limited to the KOMBI module (dashboard items), but it may expand to include HU-ENTRY/CIC/NBT/NBT2 and FEM_BODY in the future.
It’s a simple connect (via their BT adapter), read coding data, select features to activate or deactivate (or change values), then push back into the module. Same as E-Sys but with a much more simplified interface. It allows you to save the module coding data as a backup, just like E-Sys. It worked great for coding on E-chassis cars, so I’m hoping it will be the same for F-Chassis, although they’ve had quite a bit of time to get things working and so far, coding with Android still isn’t fully tested yet. I’ve since used E-Sys for coding my F30 and the wife’s F23.
BMW E-Sys works better than Carly app in Fxx coding
I used Carly for my wife’s previous E88 128 convertible and it worked great – no having to do one item at a time, etc. Not quite sure what the problem is with the F-cars, because the principle is the same – read coding data, modify, write coding data. Apparently the new “network” and whatever read/write protocol that implies is far different than the BMW Engineer Software of the E-series cars.
By comparison, E-Sys has improved vastly over the past year or two and coding both my F30 and the wife’s new F23 was relatively easy, particularly since you can save the coding data, disconnect, take the computer inside to do the modifications on a copy of the saved data, then reconnect and push the data back using the modified file. No more sitting in the car searching for the feature to be coded while the engine’s idling.
Carly adapter– Bluetooth; E sys ENET cable– Ethernet to OBD
Actually, the Carly adapter is Bluetooth. E-Sys looks for a connection via the ethernet port on your laptop. It won’t recognize BT at all – at least, I’ve not been able to make it do so. If your laptop doesn’t have an ethernet/RJ45 connector, you’ll need to find a device that does. Pretty sure that you can’t use a USB-to-ethernet adapter, either.
Coding the speedo correction affects the analog (gauge) speedometer; it appears that the digital readout, which gets added to the “list” of things you can display in the center of the cluster, then gives the same reading as the analog. I can guarantee that it does fix the approximately 3 MPH slow reading (actual speed 67, speedo reading 70). All speedos are going to be somewhat innacurate unless they’re calibrated and “certified”, such as the ones in Law Enforcement cars. Even your GPS will give you a 1-2 MPH difference from the “corrected” reading once you’ve coded it, but the GPS is generally reading too slow as well.

bmw-icom-3 bmw-icom-4 bmw-icom-5 bmw-icom-6 bmw-icom-7
So, which a BMW Diagnostic Tool cable you need: K+DCAN or ENET or ICOM A2/ ICOM Next?
bmw-icom-8
In summary,
It depends on your purpose (diagnostic or coding or programming) and model (Exx or Fxx or others).
For Coding, you need different Tools, NCS Expert / SP-Daten for E-Series and E-Sys / PSdZData for F-Series.
All Diagnosis and Coding can be done with cheap DCAN Cable for E-Series and cheap ENET Cable for F-Series.
For Programming (Flashing ECU’s with new Firmware), then you need ISTA/P for for both E-Series and F-Series cars, or you can use WinKFP for E-Series and E-Sys for F-Series. For E-Series Programming, you will need an ICOM, but for F-Series Programming, you can use ENET Cable.
Again, 2017.9 BMW ICOM software above tested good with +DCAN or ENET or ICOM A2/ ICOM Next here. You can use it for diagnostic and programming with relief.
THE IMPORTANT NOTE: All links haven’t tested by professionals. YOURSELF BUT NO ONE should take responsibility of what you’ll try. Someone has installed it successfully, but not reported if it’s working or not.
