Yes and Yes. I also tried to copy and replace the SWE folder from PSTDATA to C:\ESysData\SWE

Did you delete and replace your existing PSdZData folder with the 48.3 one, or did you copy it on top of your old one?

C:\ESysData\SWE can, and should, be empty.

Do you still have 48.1? If so, can you nuke 48.3, copy 48.1 back, and see if you can connect?

[KeenDriver]

The version I have before 48.3 is 47.5...just and FYI, this was recoded by the dealer last week. Everything read fine with 48.3. It's just coding the FDL where I have the problem.

I'll remove the SWE items, but I'm sure that will just save me HD space

Are you using the Code Away.est EST Token?

yup. Everything is the same (other than pstdata) as when I last coded in Oct.

I just thought of one or two more things to try that may have caused a problem, but I don't expect it to act any different.

If it is me, I would completely uninstall E-Sys, and my PSdZData, and reinstall them.

I'll try that after the other two things.

ok so I got it to work by returning to my older PSdZData (47.5) and then moved the specific/missing CAFDs to the correct folder within. Not sure why this worked fine, but it did... hopefully this will help someone else out.

It is a mystery, but I have heard from several people who all of a sudden are having connection issues, but returning to the older PSdZData solves the problem. I can connect to my F10 fine with 48.3 PSdZdata, and I think most F30 owners can too, but it seems some brand new F30's are having problems with 48.3.

Question... is there a quick way to use e-sys to "read coding data" for all ECU at one go (so that the FDL file will be generated and store in the computer locally)?

Right now I'm right clicking each and every CAFD to get the file.

What happens if you right-click on the top of the SVT where you VIN is? You can VO Code all ECU's from there, but I can't recall if you can read them all too.

This is already in my "to-try" list...

In addition, here's what I've compiled on the abbreviations, not complete, but is what I got so far:

ACSM : Advanced Crash Safety Module
AMP_TOPHB : (Amplifier settings)
CMB_MEDIA : Combox Media
DME : Digital Motor Electronics
DSC : Dynamic Stability Control
EGS : (Transmission Control Unit)
EKPM2 : ??
EPS : Electric Power Steering
FEM_BODY : Front Electronic Module
FEM_GW :
FLA3 : (High Beam Assistant)
FZD : (Sunroof control panel)
GWS : (Gear Selector Switch)
HU_CIC : Head Unit - Car Infotainment Computer
ICM : Integrated Chassis Management
"IHKA : Integrated Automatic Heating and Air - Intergriertes Heizung und Klima Automatic"
KOMBI : (Speedo Cluster related)
REM : ??
SM : ??
TRSVC : (Rear View & Other Camera related)
VDC1 : ??
ZBE2 : ??

awkh / clarence - could you share what were the default languages enabled for Hong Kong radio/idrive?

Just wanted to try a theory re displaying Asian language (not sure if anyone tried before).

Reading other forum, apparently the US guys can only display 3 language, only when they change the main language to English_UK, then they could add other languages in.

So, I wanted to try to just stick to the few languages that Hong Kong is enabled for and see if it works... lol

Previously, I've added the Asian language at the bottom of the list, so it practically used up all 16 slots, so I wanted to keep it simpler this time...

We have English (UK), Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified.

hi

I have problems with bmw live BT DATA
message NBT (data communication not possible . activate bleutooth data communication )
I have an iphone 5 with hotspot activ

help plz

[Aritaurus]

Thanks to all your help, I managed to make my 6NH behave like a 6NK. After changing the VO, I also had to code COMBOX MEDIA as well so that it would take the white iPhone cable. I can finally use my iPhone 5 on this car without any complications!

Album art all shows up and it's working as if I bought the $800 option.

Bearing in mind that dos is from Germany, the info from members from other countries such as CDN & USA who also have 609+6NH means so far that this spec combination will have a castrated combox.

I think the combox is required for voice control to work so that's why anyone who has the 609+6NH has one. When I took the 320i loaner with 606+6NH, there's no voice control or anything that seems to need a combox.

Now we just need to figure out how to get BMW Live and the internet to work.

if someone makes a usb cable i would buy it. i really dont like having two cables just to do one thing.

Two cables? What is the need or purpose of the USB one?

You're missing the point; the F-Series cars can only be programmed over Ethernet. If you plug into the car with a direct USB port, you won't be able to do anything.

You could always get a USB to Ethernet adapter for your computer. That would supply an Ethernet connection on your laptop.
