After reading the other posts on here seem like your the F10 Guru.
I have recently bought a F10 520d m sport. Could you code it so I have Drls and also increase the brightness to 100%?

Thanks

Can definitely do... I see that you are quite a distance away in Wolverhampton - but let me know if you are OK to travel.

I am out at the moment but will be back next week, so can tie up something...

If possible I would like some help coding too. I am in gloucestershire and happy to travel. Is there a list of what is possible?

Thanks Gspannu :-) Also would like the DVD to work while the car is in motion. Does making the angel eyes brightness to 100% make quite a noticeable difference? Dont mind travelling just let me know when you are free. Really appreciate your help!!

A lot is possible, and a lot depends on your car model and what hardware/firmware is on the car.

I suggest reading this forum post from the start; there are a few posts about what can be done.

Also, there is a document here that you may refer.

DVD in Motion can also be coded - should not be a problem.

DRL brightness in UK cars is normally already set to 100%, but if not, it can alway be set to 100%. The biggest change you will likely notice is that now only the rings are switched on in DRL mode rather than the main beams. I am presuming that you have halogen lights and not xenons...

[Sat2014]

Yes halogens which I find shocking when my last BMW 330d coupe e92 had xenon as standard. I've ordered a HID kit to be fitted on Saturday. I dont suppose you know anyone who has changed the whole headlight without it costing a arm and a leg? Also if i wanted folding mirrors would i need get new mirrors or just the motor?

Thanks

Also do you know how i can make the angel eyes brighter? Do they use H8 bulb?

Understand the issue, but that is just how BMW do it.
The LCI F10 (from July 2013) does have Xenons as standard even in the base 520.

The 3 Series Coupe has always been a higher specced base car compared to the 3 series Saloon. Even today, the 4 Series (what used to be 3 series Coupe) is higher specced than the comparable 3 series.

I have no idea about hardware mods (not into them)

The Angel Eyes in the F10 are LEDs; and these can be made brighter (if not already so). There is a coding parameter to change the value to 0x64 (or 100).

Your car has a KAFAS2 camera and although the software settings can be achieved via coding, the feature cannot be activated without a FSC code.

Lot of people have tried the coding and have got the correct coding parameters, but the feature does not activate.

... and so far, there is no one available who can generate a 7E FSC code.

Apologies, but at this point in time; it seems you cannot enable SLI.

Hi Gspannu, do you have an update on this issue? Can we enable SLI for LCI models?

Apologies. I have just checked again and the quick answer is No.

The only FSC Code that has been generated outside BMW is a Map Update FSC Code. All other FSC Codes must be issued by BMW AG and signed with their private encryption key. In the case of SLI, BMW do not sell a 7E FSC Code.

However, I have been provided another source... I am double checking there as well. Will update as soon as I hear/ find out more.

You available this weekend for some coding?

Hi all, I'm new here, I've just read this entire thread! Extremely educational, mainly thanks to amazing gspannu, who seems like an incredibly helpful bloke!

I'm brand new to BMWs, and have just bought a 2012 520d M Sport. So far, I like it quite a lot!

I'd love to have a couple of things discussed in this thread coded into my car.

One thing I'm not sure about, despite having read all the 18 pages of this thread. Do I need to have my own setup (cable, software, laptop) and I would need to bring that with me to gspannu (who I'm hoping will be willing to help me too) in order to get anything done, or is all that needed only if I want to try coding myself? I don't want to presume that gspannu would do everything for me with his own equipment, and it would be absolutely fine if I need to have my own stuff, I just wasn't clear on it, so I thought I'd ask clarification.

I'm based in west London, so not too far away from Winchester/Basingstoke, and would obviously adapt to whenever it suits gspannu.

Many thanks in advance!

Vlad.

[gspannu]

Sorry, guys. Have been out of the loop of a while... tied up in work and travel.

izozzy: Apologies for not responding earlier.

vladman: Will do whatever I can/know. You do not need any software/cable. I have all the necessary stuff. You just need to bring your car.

Happy to host another coding day at Basingstoke (weekday evenings or weekend). Let's fix a common date/time.

Hi gspannu, welcome back, and thank you for the offer to help!

I'm quite flexible, so if you can suggest some dates, lets see what the others say, and I'll try and fit in with what suits the majority.

Hi gspannu,
I'm a little too far North to come and visit but I'am for giving it a try myself. I haven't been able to track down the software. Would you mind PM'ing me any links you might have?

Remind me in the next few days (once I'm back home) and I will send you the software links.

[Fox530]

I've managed to get a cable and I've got some software but now I find a need a token. Any advice?

Few things that come to mind straight away...

1) Auto Start Stop - Disable or Remember Last Setting
2) Radio Switch off on Door Open
3) Acoustic Lock Sound (New Menu)
4) High Beam Assistant - Auto Switch on, no need to activate each time
5) Route Simulator in Nav Professional
6) Dipping Angle of Mirror during Reversing
7) Enable Temperature Monitoring of tyres (along with Pressure)
8) Enhanced Bluetooth - 2 telephones, etc...
9) Remember Seat heating, etc... from last used
10) Close Bootlid from button in driver side (default setting only opens boot)
11) Enable Rear Lights along with angel eyes (DayTime Running Lights)

..... that's what is from top of my head...

Spoiler: The coding of each feature may or may not work on your car, depends on what ISTA/P version (or firmware version) your car has.

Cheers - only had it for a couple of days........really impressed, and quite a step up from the E61.

Looks like I might have to take a trip up the M3 sometime soon
