Only for Coding-Verification and FDL-coding.

Can you please explain this? Can I use desktop PC and run launcher on it and then transfer some files to E-sys that runs inside VMware Fusion on my Mac laptop and do the coding in that way?

There are certain E-sys functions which require a token. These include those I listed. Others do not.

You will have no problem reading files and VO coding. But, you will not be able to edit or push changes to vehicle without token. So, reading on MAC will not be an issue nor modifying on Windows Machine. But, when you transfer back to Mac, you will not be able to push to vehicle.

If I understand correctly, I cannot use Mac for coding when running E-sys in a VM?

There are two types of coding:
VO Coding: Can be done on Mac with VM. Eg, Enhanced Bluetooth
FDL Coding: Can be done on Mac with Bootcamp, but not VM. Ex, removing startup legal disclaimers.

FDL coding is what I am interested in, so it looks like it is a no go using a VM on Mac

Correct. You would need Pro Launcher if you want to use VM.

Hi,

I've spent countless hours on forums, cant find the answer.

I have a CIC system with combobox, can I get bmw apps? Do I need connected drive for it?

Another question, I think I had basic traffic information on the car that worked once when tethering from a phone. After trying to code RTTI, I can't get any traffic reports. How Do I go back to basic? Unless it's possible to get RTTI?

Hope someone can help.

BMW Apps requires a 9C FSC Enabling Code and 6NR Coding.

You cannot have RTTI, which is cellular based. You would need NBT head unit and a Subscription service for RTTI. For TMC (Traffic Message Channel), which is FM Radio based, you need to VO Code HU_CIC and CMB_MEDIA for 6UH.

Thanks the this great tips.

Thanks for the tip, i'm considering too the RRTI.
But it can work with BT Shared network (from a mobile) right?

HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_MC_WLAN_STREAM_DMP_VIDEO -> aktiv
HU_NBT -> 3000 -> ENT_MC_WLAN_STREAM_DMP -> aktiv
You'll then need to install a DLNA/UPnP media sharing server on your laptop or phone to be able to use this

ENABLE THE IPCE WEBSERVER

HU_NBT > 3000 -> IPCE_WEBSERVER
Will enable a webserver reachable at 172.16.222.1
It allows the browsing of some "interesting" logfiles/info (probably not of much interest for the general public)

What requirements are needed for WIFI HOTSPOT ?
EDIT: Forget it... found this later

RTTI is subscription Service via Car SIM. I have no idea about BT Shared network (from a mobile).

WIFI HOTSPOT in NBT was killed off by BMW AG many years ago.

I have newest 003.013.001 software and i cant code my car anymore.I tried with several laptops and program and every time i get some error codes.Btw last time i try to connect my car with laptop,does not reveal any connection?I tries with esys 3.27 an 3.30 in my bmw workshop.What i need to do?

rgomez · 12-14-2018, 12:12 PM

I'm not sure I'm in the correct field/value for what I want.

My car has Xenon and the rings (don't know the name for those besides angel eyes) are not at full brightness as I've seen in other cars.

To make them full brightness when headlights are off, am I in the correct field?

FRM => 3050 => HELLIGKEIT_DRL => wert_01__100%

When headlights are on what will the brightness, 100% as well or it can be coded? If so, can I get a tip?

What "error codes" are you getting?

Bruno112 · 12-15-2018, 04:42 AM

I cant remember exactly,first time i can read modules but i cant read coding data.Second was ecu didnt respond something like that.

You need to provide more details. Without, it is tough to resolve issues.

shawnsheridan I'm not sure where or if this has been discussed and I have not been able to find a real writeup on the subject. Do you or anyone else here have a good writeup on doing a full I-Step upgrade? I have a 2013 535i with NBT HU. last 7 of the VIN is c828892 if that helps any.
